What is better for family life, Fort Campbell or Fort Bragg?

2015-02-08T06:07:20-05:00

As rumors about my current unit deactivating are becoming fact within the next few months, I am looking to be stationed back in the states in either Fort Campbell or Fort Bragg, my top choices on ASK. Which of these two military posts is better when it comes to bringing your wife along and raising a family? Please note that the safety of my family is my main concern at this point, but I am also interested in advancing my career.

Campbell has a lot to offer especially the area there's nashville pretty close and there's great hunting and fishing plus on post housing is pretty nice from what I've seen so it's not bad here, as for safety I haven't heard/seen anything too bad. I can't speak much on Bragg though.

SGT Private RallyPoint Member there are bad areas in all "Army towns" just like there are bad areas in all cities and towns across the U.S. Do not buy into the "Fayettenam" bullshit that people like to spread. I have been to both posts and they are both very nice places to live and raise a family. Do your homework and some good recon and you will find a great area to live, in either of the duty stations.
