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.

Any post sucks when you're not in the field. Infantrymen are great in the filed. It's when your in garrison that we screw up.

Why don't you take ten minutes to read or ask someone what your response should be to bugles calls. Learn and buy a watch. Then you can pull up your skirts and stop your bitching. Oh, and then you can find time to complete you PME!

HANDS DOWN Fort WAINWRIGHT ALASKA!! -50 in the winter with almost nothing to do compared to the lower 48. No sun in the winter. Too much sun in the summer.

Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany GA. Logistics command for the MC. So top heavy it's insane. The largest unit on base is the MPs. #2 is the band. They used to have two separate commands, the base command and logistics command. When I was there there was a hanging of the guard for both and we had 4 generals, with all their staffers for less than 500 Marines. Base medical was in a double wide. All while being located in a swamp in south GA. There was a really nice golf course. That got shut down because of budget cuts so it was just a giant field that crazy SNCOs decided to use the tick and snake infested tall grass for creative PT sessions. Not to mention the gators by the pistol and skeet range. I was there about 13 years ago so of course some things changed, but I knew guys that begged to go back to 29 stumps after 6 weeks at MCLB Albany.
