It is within driving distance to DFW, and Austin, and there is plenty to do here. There is not a single army base that's without a bad area so ignore all the noise and enjoy it.Response by SSG Javier Antonsanti made Aug 11 at 2015 4:04 PM2015-08-11T16:04:51-04:002015-08-11T16:04:51-04:00SSG Carlos Madden882101<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Hello SSG Mims,<br />Here are some people from that unit you can reach out to on RallyPoint.

Do you have pinpoint orders? All this restructuring is blowing my mind. If my intel isn't up to date I apologize. Fort Hood is massive.<br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="http://www.first.army.mil/divwest/">http://www.first.army.mil/divwest/</a> <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default">

But.. Like any Army post I was at.. It has the best of both worlds.. It's what YOU make it... It has lots ot offer if you get out and do things.. TX has a rich history and lots of fun places to go see.. Enjoy it with your family when ever possible... Have a GREAT TOUR!!! :)Response by SGT Patrick James made Aug 12 at 2015 2:50 AM2015-08-12T02:50:01-04:002015-08-12T02:50:01-04:00CW4 Private RallyPoint Member890722<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>291 AVN was part of 166 AVN Rgt (RC), 227 AVN is the AC under CAV. Will send you a POC for the DEM BDE that can help you if that unit is still active.Response by CW4 Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 14 at 2015 6:28 PM2015-08-14T18:28:03-04:002015-08-14T18:28:03-04:002015-08-11T15:32:39-04:00
