If you're a history buff, you're in Revolutionary War Nirvana being near Boston. Also you'll be a stone's throw from RallyPoint HQ. Check out this link, it may provide you with additional insight.

I work in Boston tho I'm in the Guard at Cape Cod. Boston is an incredible city. You're stationed in a fantastic section of town called the Northend. Amazing authentic food there. and less than 10 minute walk from downtown!!! As stated, we have a rich history. You'll find most places to be rooted to the past with a story behind it. Even the bars like the Green Dragon reflect this. Your right next to TGI Center, home of the Celtics and Bruins. You're not far from the Fenway Park either.

Boston is a big college town. If I were a younger man, I'd be in all my glory regarding duty stations. I can't tell you how much there is to do and see. Feel free to message me with any questions.

Welcome to being part of Boston Strong.

and I will say, Bostonians were some of the friendliest people I had ever met.

Lots of tourists... goofy uniforms.. .but they are historic and period. I imagine there is A LOT of work that has to be done but it is mainly tours for tourists and I think one week of sailing with Acadamy people. I went as a tourist. It was fun.

I grew up in Charlestown, that's where the Navy yard is. Allot has changed, it is a beautiful area, allot of history. The Coast Guard has an active post across the harbor, or as we say in Boston, "HABA". It has a small exchange. Allot to do within walking distance. Be ready to spend allot of money, Boston is very expensive. The Boston Garden is less then 1 mile away, and the traffic is terrible.
