Where ever you go, go in with an open mind.Response by SGM Steve Wettstein made Jun 20 at 2018 12:04 PM2018-06-20T12:04:40-04:002018-06-20T12:04:40-04:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member3727828<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Depends on what you mean by good. Lots of issues at the post, so you get lots of calls? Few issues, so that you don't? Some posts still utilize MPs for LE patrols, and some have moved to the DoD Police model (which I disagree with, as an MP). Give me more info and I'll try to help.Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 20 at 2018 3:02 PM2018-06-20T15:02:01-04:002018-06-20T15:02:01-04:00SFC James Heath3727923<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>This question is an open ended. Are you in training? How far along? Do you already have an assigned Post after training? If the answer to any of the above questions is yes, it is probably too late to make changes.Response by SFC James Heath made Jun 20 at 2018 3:39 PM2018-06-20T15:39:24-04:002018-06-20T15:39:24-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member3731304<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I hear Camp Darby is nice.Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 21 at 2018 4:46 PM2018-06-21T16:46:34-04:002018-06-21T16:46:34-04:00SGT Kathleen Wotring3731686<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Depends on if you're high speed or just want garrison...Response by SGT Kathleen Wotring made Jun 21 at 2018 7:49 PM2018-06-21T19:49:54-04:002018-06-21T19:49:54-04:00SGT Kathleen Wotring3731687<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Also as a PVT you normally don't get choice of duty station...unless they give you optionsResponse by SGT Kathleen Wotring made Jun 21 at 2018 7:51 PM2018-06-21T19:51:10-04:002018-06-21T19:51:10-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member3734765<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>As an MP, I feel there’s always a trade off at duty stations. You might get a nice duty station (geographically) but maybe the unit isn’t that great (i.e. poor leadership, minimal chance for schools, overworked.) Or you go somewhere like Bragg or Campbell where there’s usually a couple opportunities for schools (BLC, Airborne, Air Assault, SRT, DVIT, etc.) <br /><br />From my experience, there’s no “perfect” duty station. Just remember, you have to give a little to get a little. You want something good from the Army, you have to give the Army something it wants. Show that you’re a team player by volunteering for details, exercises, and whatever else to show your leadership you’re a team player. This gives you a better chance of having your name come up when they need names for schools or desireable (which you’ll figure out after a couple years) duty stations become available.Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 22 at 2018 10:05 PM2018-06-22T22:05:32-04:002018-06-22T22:05:32-04:00SPC Glen Goodman3741636<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was at Fort Wainwright, AK and Fort Hood, TX; can only speak for my own experiences. They are both good duty stations.Response by SPC Glen Goodman made Jun 25 at 2018 2:26 PM2018-06-25T14:26:41-04:002018-06-25T14:26:41-04:00PFC Private RallyPoint Member3742554<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>From what I’ve seen, if you can nail down an OCONUS location that isn’t Germany or South Korea, you’ll mostly work the road. And even Germany and Korea you’ll stil do road work, there’s just a bigger chance you’ll also do a lot of field. But any of the odd country’s like Belgium, France, Italy, etc. you’ll do the road. when it comes to state side, id just pick a location you like, because what’s most likely gonna happen is the battalion will rotate its company’s, one does road, one does field, and so on. Just pick a place you like geographical and roll with it. Personally, I’m out of Ft. Riley and I like it quite a bit.Response by PFC Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 25 at 2018 7:41 PM2018-06-25T19:41:54-04:002018-06-25T19:41:54-04:00SFC Matthew Del Rossi3747988<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I liked Ft Stewart, GA.

Worked the road and the gates. At the time there were a mix of DoD police and MP's working together. Easy post to work, quiet a lot of the time, not a lot of calls. Someone said it was the "best kept secret of duty stations." I don't know how true that is, depending on what you expect out of your time in, but I enjoyed it there. It's also a beautiful area, right on the Chesapeake Bay. Good luck to you wherever you go.Response by SSG Jason Carter made Jun 28 at 2018 4:22 PM2018-06-28T16:22:18-04:002018-06-28T16:22:18-04:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member3766529<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>All duty station are what you make of them. Some use DOD for the LE some use just 31B. All places you will work it depends on how much and the instillation you are at. I was at Bragg and Lewis yrs ago and both were busy. Now if you are also referring to amenities that the installation has on and off post that will be up for debt.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Jul 4 at 2018 2:07 PM2018-07-04T14:07:21-04:002018-07-04T14:07:21-04:00SGT Bryan Henderson3806752<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Honestly everyone has personal preference but I would say Colorado Springs COResponse by SGT Bryan Henderson made Jul 19 at 2018 11:14 AM2018-07-19T11:14:59-04:002018-07-19T11:14:59-04:00SGT Scott Coyle3812060<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No where.Response by SGT Scott Coyle made Jul 21 at 2018 6:52 AM2018-07-21T06:52:50-04:002018-07-21T06:52:50-04:00SGT Eric Allum3815052<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Germany or if you can request fort Campbell lying was at bothResponse by SGT Eric Allum made Jul 22 at 2018 10:31 AM2018-07-22T10:31:51-04:002018-07-22T10:31:51-04:00SGT Brad Watts3854592<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Germany!Response by SGT Brad Watts made Aug 5 at 2018 11:41 AM2018-08-05T11:41:22-04:002018-08-05T11:41:22-04:00SSG Ronald Colwell4193678<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The place you PCS from is always better than the place you go to.
