Geraldo even called it the "most dangerous place held by Americans" (that was before Fallujah a few months later). Platoon and a half plus a couple sections of gun trucks and an arty section was all we had. 8 clicks from Pakistan, lots of action. I hear it's much bigger now. I think there were COP's that were even smaller later on though.

I had 20 Soldiers at the most and 3 by the time we inactivated. You could literally throw a football across the "base." It was a 1.5 hour ride to the nearest Marine base (MCAS Iwakuni) to see the doc or go to the BX. Even though it was technically considered a harship tour, it was still a great assignment in my opinion and one of the Army's hidden gems. Highest BAH in the Army at the time too!

I made it through the first phase (mine was 16 weeks), but come the second phase, my health got to me - service connected migraines; made me a big risk to the program... During that second phase, you are doing 2 college courses every two weeks (complete courses, mind you)... Actual duty station wise, I'd say recruiting is probably one of the toughest (I didn't forget what SEALs go through or anything). You have a 3 year assignment in areas in the states to meet recruiting efforts - Philadelphia's recruiting district is probably one of the worst and toughest.
