Headed to Fort Bliss as an E-5 91M. Any advice, comments and/ or information fellow service members would care to share?

prepare to hate the color brown.... the ground is brown, the sky is brown, the mountains are brown... the people are brown and they speak a different language (jokes people), Iraq was greener send me back. On a serious note, you will start to miss grass and trees.

As for venue, it's been 6-7 years since I've been there, but, I've never seen a place with so many bands that come through right outside post, the Sun Bowl at UTEP, the food is AMAZING (steaks and mexican), you have Rio Doso and Las Cuces and White sands are all not too far away, the cultural experience is pretty top notch. If anything, make sure to get out and explore or you will go crazy.

Fort Bliss is a good duty station. Some of the units are..meh. The surrounding area is brown desert, so you won't really see nothing but the foot hills (mountains) and desert sand. It does get cold at night but the days are generally pretty warm, in the summer it does get hot but, not like that Georgia sweltering heat. It rains and the places generally flood and people drive crazy, lot of drunk drivers at night so be careful of that. Other than that, don't go to Mexico and you should be fine. Plus what everyone else has already said.

It a great duty station
