It will be cold 25-40F in the winter and a muggy upper 80s-low 90s in the summer. As a junior Soldier mechanic you can expect to spend your workdays in the motorpool. It&#39;s been many years since active duty, but I imagine there will be weekly maintenance periods (motor stables) where the vehicle operators will do their preventative maintenance (PCMS). Some units rotate their platoons on different days, some do the entire unit on the same day. <br /><br />You will probably be assigned a vehicle maintenance project under the supervision of your team or squad leader who will work with you as you tear down and do more thorough maintenance on vehicles on a periodic basis.<br /><br />I don&#39;t know what kind of unit you will be assigned to, so I can&#39;t begin to guess how much time you will spend in the field. If you support the 101st you could learn to love the field.

I was there when we had a 67 degree temp shift in a 24 hour period. And the entire division was in the field for a war games exercise.... This happened in late 1983. And it rained, sleeted, hailed, and snowed all on that day.... Lots of fun.<br /><br />Hopkinsville/Clarksville are nice cities. Nashville is about an hour away. It is a posting that can be a lot of fun. Enjoy brother.

You spend your day at the motorpool QAQCing and parts replacing. Air assault is almost mandatory. You have a lot of school opportunity. In garrison your days are pretty short. Especially since you don&#39;t do 24 hour ops on legacy vics.

Every day is a kick in the dick and no matter how much work you get done there will always be more.

Expect to go to Air Assault within the first couple months, do a lot of good PRT, and work a good amount. As a 91B you will be working a lot in most places you go. Ft. Campbell is a beautiful place and the people are really friendly, and a lot of unit pride.

I am not part of the 101st though. I am in the Air Defense unit there and haven&#39;t done my job in about 5 months, I am a 91b as well. Instead now I am a 14p for deployment coming soon. Fort Campbell is nice. Also nice surrounding towns.
