<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was Air Force and I had no choice in going to Kunsan for my first assignment. I&#39;ve heard that Kunsan is a lot different now, very westernized.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;d go with Kunsan AB. Facilities are better. It&#39;s closer to Seoul and Busan. Other reasons that shouldn&#39;t be put on the Internet.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>In general Air Force bases have better facilities and especially better housing than the Army, so I would recommend Kunsan on that basis alone.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Neither. Lol. Never been to either one. Did Camp Casey and Osan AFB with a stint on a mountain top on the west coast.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Kunsan. Bigger and it&#39;s an airbase. Can&#39;t go wrong.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Never been to Camp Carroll but I do not like Osan(too big and crowded) and loved Kunsan not crowded and small town feel and more family like environment..

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>depending on what you are looking for ... kunsan is the better Choice... <br />Larger base ... more facilities on base , and more to do Off post... and better access to Space A Travel to Check out the rest of Asia...

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Kunsan for sure. I was in 2-1 at Carroll and everyone wished they were in kunsan. Plus you&#39;re away from the command team.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It has been almost 50 years since I have been to either Kunsan or Camp Carroll. Based on my OLD memory I thing I would choose Kunsan. I am basing my opinion on my memory of 27 months at K6 (Camp Humphreys) which was a tiny little compound at the time (1968-70) and just up the road (not many miles but over an hour drive time) was Osan. I liked the base and the village. One thing Osan had that we did not was a shooting range we could use any time we wanted. Plus the PX and commissary was about 10 X larger. Our Brigade HQ was at Osan.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was station at Camp Carroll for 16 months. The base is in a great location. Buy a car or take the train anywhere easily. Daegu is 30-45 minutes south. Busan is about 2-3 hours south, Osan is about 2 hours north. We did most of our training at Kansan AB. Go to Carroll

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Kunsan. I&#39;ve never been there, but I worked at Camp Carroll for a year. It&#39;s not close to anything - an hour to Daegu. Limited housing and recreation and the post is relatively small. If you really get a choice - Kunsan all the way.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Camp Humpreys . We have better dorms then the Army Officers.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Camp Carroll was a small little base, not much there but Daegu was a great place to hang around and eat plus the community is great if you have kids and family there with you. Kunsan is an Airbase, not much to say except Airforce means better DFAC, housing, BX/PX... I haven&#39;t been to Kunsan but all my guys who have been loved it.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Korea in general is great. I was at Camp Humphreys for a year but got out to see the country as often as I could. take advantage of the USO/MWR tours, or just get out on your own. the train/bus system connects the cities of the peninsula to within hours. as far as the two bases, Kunsan is closer to the water if you are interested in diving/fishing, Camp Carrol is smaller but more mountainous...

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I love my Army but an Air Force base will always trump our Army standards lol

I also visited Kunsan on my own and it was in the middle of nowhere, the ville was filthy and nasty, base was nothing to write home about so if it was up to me I would take carroll at least for location, no clue when it comes to your MOS

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was only stationed at Osan AB and it was in 99-00 but I was told that Kunsan was a nice base except that there was no town near it so if you wanted to go shopping or see anything you had to take the bus to Osan or Seoul.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It&#39;s crazy, 99% Vote for Kunsan

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was a 1SG at Camp Carroll with my family, loved it there. Waegwan, just outside the gates, is the right mix of big enough and not too big. Carroll has an awesome pool with a waterslide but not too much more for the kids if you are bringing any. I visited Kunsan, it did not look bad either. Air force usually has the better quality of life overall. I&#39;d still go back to Carroll in a minute if I was not retiring. What situation are you in that you get that kind of choice?

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Camp Carroll is in a state of decay... chose Kunsan

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I used to go to Camp Carroll on a 2 day TDY trip every few months as a young SPC stationed in Yongsan back in 1985. Big change of environment, and yet, I was fascinated by a sense of familiarity within this small installation. I enjoy, the train trip through the mountains of Korea to the town of Wae Gawn. Little quiet town that I admired as much as their people, that made my Korean experience so memorable. Learning to travel on my own in a foreign country with a different culture and language. I would stayed in a small transient room that D Company 802nd Engineers kept for 2nd Eng Group enlisted soldiers that were passing through and I would still be looking forward to this trip. I remember the local snack bar would be turn into a steak house on Wednesday nights, it was the effort of the community that I like. Morning breakfast were memorable at the dinning facility, where you could combine Korean and American food items. My mission was to hand-carry oil samples to the laboratories at this logistical center. And every time I would have to argue with the same employees to get the samples tested on the spot so I could hand-carry the results back with me. It was part of the trip, it was like engaging in a sport competition. I made these trips for 3 years so there were many trips to Camp Carroll. Thank you RP for allowing me this memory trip.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Kinda, hands down. But then I am biased. Air Force vet, and 10 months at the Wolfpack.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Never been to Camp Carroll, but I spent two years at the Kun. Great assignment, but I preferred Osan. Went to Osan two times, 83-84, and 88-90. Liked it better the first time. At Kunsan we worked hard and played even harder. Lots of fun back in the 80s, but no idea what it&#39;s like now.
