MacDill (Tampa, FL)! WOOT! :)
Hickam (Honolulu, HI) was pretty awesome, but I didn't like being on the island after a while.
Kadena AB (Okinawa, Japan) was fun! :)

I have to agree that MacDill AFB is a great place. It had its own marina, golf course, and trap/skeet range. Oh and its own beach. Downtown Tampa has a lot to offer and Clearwater Beach is a short drive over the bridge.

When I was stationed in Okinawa, I had a privilege to work at Kadena for 9 months with 18 Security Forces Squadron. Some of my all-time favorite memories. You're either patrolling, checking buildings/venues, or mock scenario drilling WHILE on duty!!

I would have to go with Charleston AFB, SC and overseas would be Aviano AFB, Italy

Depends on what you want.......if its fun in the sun and travel go with Aviano or some other European base.
If its rapid career development and education go with anywhere they do training for your AFSC....for example is AF Medic 4N0 got with Langley, Travis...etc because they have extended training programs for providers which makes the enlisted training also better.
But for fun...IMO you cant beat anywhere in Germany or Italy.

Ramstein and Tyndall...both great for various reasons, traveling Europe and the beach.
