Just received notice that I will be PCSing to Scott AFB, Illinois. Would anyone have any insight of the post as well what to expect?

Do you enjoy outdoor activities? Hunting, fishing, camping? Lots of places to go both in Illinois and Missouri. St. Louis is only about an hour away (give or take) and Rend Lake is about the same the other way. Lots of nice friendly people in the area.

Don't know much about the base but I lived in Southern Illinois part of my youth. Plenty of great fishing holes down that way and also great hunting if you are into that. My brother (A Marine like me) was in the hospital there for six to eight weeks following an automobile accident while on leave. They took good care of him while he was there. I hope you don't need to use the hospital like he did though!

Area is not bad, gas prices are high in Illinois due to their gas tax.
