What are the pros and cons of Ft. Hood and Ft. Bliss?

You already know Bliss,and never been to Hood...

Do you play with the devil you know, or play with the one you don't?

I don't as at Ft Bliss from 2014-2016, and Ft Hood since then.

I like Ft Bliss much better due to the weather. Sunny days, high desert so cool nights! Great cycling and hiking there. EP Cyclists are the friendliest cyclists known to mankind!!! We had a beautiful view on the mountain in the Northeast. The neighborhood is older so there are a few rentals and great neighbors. EASY commute too. McKelligan Canyon has live band for " cool canyon nights" free! It's so much fun with the view and great food trucks!

Ft Hood is a little disjointed and our family has had a hard time adapting. Very few jobs and very little outdoors except the lake so you better have a boat and equipment. Ft Hood is a communtable distance to Austin (1 hour) and Houston (150 miles). Flights from Austin are super cheap with Allegiant to Albuquerque and Memphis and Ft Walton Beach. I've been here almost a year and still don't know very many people. The culture is MISCELLANEOUS as opposed to FT Bliss where there is a Hispanic and friendly culture.

Both places are cheap to live and generally safe for family with great support networks. The people of Texas are so veteran friendly or veterans themselves that it is almost like another country! It is really nice to visit and find it fun to visit along with my MW upbringing in KY.
Fort Bliss is near El Paso and many people love it. You will have opportunities to visit NM/AZ as it is more SW than TX, it takes eight hours to get to any other Central part of the state.
Fort Bliss is right on the border and has it's own unique culture that seems to be a good mix of both Texas and Mexico.
Fort Hood, is within short drives of San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Austin, Waco. Lots of things to do as the post is huge but it will take some driving to get there. If you don't like Texas, you will learn to love it before you leave, it seems to be the common requirement.
As a Duck Hunter, both bases seem to be strong support bases for your branch. I hope someone from your branch can weigh-in with some specifics for you.
