I don't know yet I have only gotten the name of the base off my AKO. I won't get my actual orders on paper until closer to graduation.

This place isn't bad at all. This was my number one on ask. Every duty station has its ups and downs but command and Mos have alot to do with it. You also have a lot of cool places that are not to far away

Ft Stewart is a good post. I don't have best remarks for my brigade but definitely am proud to be apart of 3rd ID. Also Richmond hill,poolet,and Savannah are all near by to

I was there for 5 years, 3 units and 2 MOS. Hated almost every minute of it. The weather I can deal with (hot and very humid, expect to be sweating just getting the mail). Depending what unit you go to expect a decent amount of corruption, racism and sexism. As for life off post, well anything other than Wal-Mart, Applebees, Chilis or Ruby Tuesday is in Savannah (about 50 miles away). Tybee island is garbage, hit Jeykell or St Simions (farther but way nicer). Night life is all on River Street in Savannah or Statesboro (same distance). If you like hunting then you have hogs and some tiny Deer, leave the gators alone. DO NOT live on post. The housing is old, out dated and filled with mold and over priced. Even if you get the new housing they screw you my making you pay electric (the insulation isn't up to code so your AC never stops). I am now at Bliss and love it. No wasting time singing a song before PT, no Marne standard and a bunch less red tape to get stuff done. These guys saying they spent a lot of time in the field must have been out for a while as the budget cuts have put a serious hurting on field time. Depending on your MOS will also decide how much time you spend in the field. Lastly I hope you like gnats and mosquito's.

Wow lol well I've heard about the mosquitoes and savannah being a drive but worth it. I used to live in the mountains outside of alburquerque, New Mexico before I joined the army so even groceries meant a 45 minute drive down the mountain. At least I'm used to driving a lot, lol. Thanks for the info it's good to hear both positives and negatives.
