My wife got my wallet by the chokehold, especially at bases with big PXs. Early on I learned that happy wife=happy life, and leave her and her PX alone :-D

After having been stationed at Fort Polk I've learned not to judge any post by the available/lack of amenities. Nor do I allow other soldiers experience affect my own. I don't even let the idea of working in a non-structurally sound building affect my time in any duty station. My family and I had a blast stationed in Louisiana, loved the food and I have a shirt that states I survived my time here. But then again I murder rocks, injure stones and have hospitalized a brick, so I'm good where ever I go.
