Most Annoying Base in the military and why was it so?

I am currently at Fort Stewart, GA, for some training. Shout out to those Dog Faced Soldiers! But I have been to many bases and I have never heard so many bugle calls in my life, this also includes the playing of the 3rd ID song every morning. I swear I have seen people just sprint off when they hear a call because they don't know what to do. So far I have found that this post does 13 bugle calls. Fort Bragg got nothing on this place.

Cubi Point Philippines, worst hangovers ever. I can't tell you how tough it was balancing 8 hour work days with three or four weekends off a month, a paycheck that would last 6 weeks, all in a tropical setting amongst virgin jungle. With all the Liberty I had I found myself laboring to find things to do, eventually I resigned myself to snorkeling, enjoying tropical libations wilts sitting in hammock at a beachside bar, and the occasional road trip to Manila. The on-base E-club was a joke, they actually thought by serving world-class food and making it nicer than a stateside officer club that we would somehow forget we have been stationed in an adult Disneyland. The Navy in the early 90s was a rough place to be.

NTC Ft. Irwin. 100+ degrees in the summer. Snows in the winter. 37 miles out a 2 lane road to get to the nearest shithole (A.k.a. Barstow, Ca.) The road is lined with crosses for all the soldiers that died on the road trying to make it back to the barracks after a hard weekend in Vegas or LA. How depressing. Oh, and watch out for the State Reptile, the California Desert Tortise. It's a $1000 fine if you hurt one. They make that VERRRRYYYYY FUCKING clear the day you get there. Only upside. When I was there in 05' the O-Club brewed 3 kinds of beer year round.

My only state side base. Tinker in OK. 18 years ago there wasn't much to do after dark except hit up the on base club. I'm not sure how it is now. I did learn something from that area. I volunteered to do stuff so I wouldn't be one of the several with a DUI. The only other bummer was the 3 gates going in doesn't mean all 3 gates open at one time.

I was there from late 75 to mid 77, had AIT (17B20) and got stationed there after graduation and I liked it there, didn't care for Lawton but I was more into the outdoor activities that were available in the area than going into the dive bars off post.
