I'm currently at my first duty station and looking for my next one. The most important deciding factor is that I'm trying to deploy, but of course I don't want to end up in a shitty unit with poor leadership. I'm leaning toward Campbell or Bragg, but I've heard mixed reviews of both. What are your thoughts?

101st is a great gig and you’ll get plenty of deployments

Fort Bragg and the surrounding area are awesome. I was stationed at Pope AFB (when it still was an AFB) and loved it so much I retired and moved back. Loving North Carolina!

There are only two good duty stations in the Army, the one you left and the one your going to.

For schools and military prestige go to Campbell... I enjoyed Ft Lewis and Germany with 2CR

*UPDATE*
I ended up re-enlisting for Ft. Campbell. It turns out that if I picked up airborne en route, there was no guarantee of duty station afterward. I could have spoken to HRC to try to get orders to Bragg after airborne school, but again, there were no guarantees. I was also very interested in Ft. Carson, but it just seemed more likely to get deployed from Campbell. Thank you all for your input, it was all very helpful.
