Considering the mission, the training, the timing, the teammates, the costs, and the location - what is the best TDY you have ever had? Why?

Tough call here. It was one of three trips:
1. Week in Hawaii trying to help get someone into a Ph.D. program, combined with marketing visits to local health organizations.
2. Week in Germany speaking at, and attending, a conference in Garmisch.
3. Week in Japan doing an exchange with the Japanese military.

My best TDY was NBC officer's training at Vilseck, Germany in 1982 where I had fun driving back to Graf at night with lights out in my Dodge Omni which slid through the waves as M-88s Tank Recovery vehicles and M60A3 Tanks passed in the opposite direction in the soupy mud of the main tank trail.
Second best was CAS3 at Fort Leavenworth in the fall of 1986.

While assigned to a MI battalion at Fort Meade, MD, I flew out every Monday morning to visit a field office, then on Wednesday I flew to another. I would fly back to Meade on Friday in order to rest before doing it all again the following week! I loved it!

Building & launching rockets from C-17s in Kauai was a pretty great TDY.
