PCSing to Fort Riley (25N)

I was last there in 2012 housing on post was getting better but still had a 1 yr wait. I was there for 13 months and was given a house but turned it down because I was only going to be there for 11 more months... I would recommend fining a place in Manhattan. Alot nicer closer then Milford but the trade off was the snow on the road going into ogden in the winter makes it hazardous to drive.

I left Riley about 4 years ago (still own a house there). Don't even guess what unit you'll be in until you get there. As a 25N you can end up pretty much anywhere. I lived in Junction City and liked it a lot. Its a bit of a drive to get to any kind of real night life (not that manhattan really qualifies as a night life but still) but it is nice and quite and easy access to pretty much anywhere on base.

I just left Riley a year or so ago and I have to say if you're going as a 25N, you'll probably end up in 1st Sustainment Brigade. If so, that mean's you're looking at 267th Signal Company.

I just left ft riley in January, I'll be changing MOS and will be in RHINE ord. As for ft riley, If you plan on living off post you can check AHRN it's a very resourceful website for finding housing off post and I would recommend Junction city if you plan on living off post the town of aroun 20,000 is bordered to ft riley and access to the post is fast, also right now there is so much construction on post you'd either way be looking at traffic, there a lot of on post housing and more under construction, a new hospital being built also the added to the commissary which is the biggest in the army about the size of walmart. Lots of outdoor activities, I wouldn't look for a place beyond junction city or Ogden(run down town) if you are limited on fuel usage.
