What is the CRC process like at FT Bliss?

I have been at Bliss for the last three years and is my second best assignment in the Army. That being said, the CRC keeps pretty tight control on its people and you probably will not be able to do much. I had a good friend that came through that was not allowed in my vehicle on both ends of his deployment. The barracks are a wall locker and bunks (I had to stay in them for an FTX on Bliss) and the shoppette down the street has fewer hours than a bank. Clothing and sales is adequate for a deploying unit but does not have the field gear that an infantry post does. We do have two Patriot Outfitters at the shopping complex (Freedom Crossing). This is the best time to come through as the temps are wonderful. Other questions?

I just went through it for demob after a two year AD tour. I only spent 4.5 days there as my orders ended today. Things were okay. The billets had terrible reception. Typically I had 2 or fewer bars. I only saw one day room. I had a two man room to myself. The shoppette and PX are about a twenty minute walk from the billets. There is a shuttle, but I only saw it once. I know, I know. First world problems. SRP was fairly problem free and they have it down pretty good. I went thru as an expedited individual and there was a company plus being out processed at the same time. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience. I have my DD214 and I'll be back home in Oregon tonight.tonight

We used service members there when I worked for a Joint Task Force. I heard nothing but bad things about it. I heard you are not to leave at you leisure and pretty much hurdled like cattle. I’ve never been there but I’ve heard.
