I would PCS anywhere, if I could somehow manage to get into the Active side of the Army.

I feel as an adult moving away from home is very important and helps you develop as a person. with that said get the hell out of chicago and start living your life

There's plenty of great opportunities overseas in Europe and a good number of installations next to good cities or better ones up the road. I enjoyed Fort Benning because Atlanta was up the road or if I felt the need for a beach I hit Florida, someone said Carson it's pretty good as well with Denver and all the ski resorts but would not recommend Fort Stewart, as Savannah gets old fast and if you want the better Texas experience ask for Lackland AFB or Sam Houston stay clear of Hood. Good luck with your decision and thanks for your continued service.

The optiions are endless. If you are looking for an area that has many things to do you can look into the DC area. Thet have the Pentagon, Ft Belvoir, Ft Meade, Andrews Air Force Base that are all located pretty close to each other. They all have assignment oppurtutunities for 42 series. I was born and raise in Illinois, when I joined I got assigned to Ft Campbell, which was nice because I could easily go home on 4 day weekends.

Either Ft Carson, Colorado, FT Hood, TX, or Ft Sam Houston, TX

My best duty assignment was at Ft Bragg with the HQ/A 407th FSB lasting 4 years. It was a hard duty assignment but discipline was required of everyone. Especially when it came to PT.

I was at Parris island (Bootcamp) ITR camp Geiger part of camp Lejune then to Camp Lejune Maine side. Quantico Va. to Ammo Tech School, Then on to Okinawa Camp Kinser then Sukiran. On to San Diego where I got discharged. In the Army I was at Ft. Ord awaiting orders to Ft. Knox then on to Vietnam came back to Ft. Dix. NJ. where I got discharged. Okinawa was my favorite. Didn't think about the worst one they were all about the same. I would have stayed in the military But General Motors was hiring when I got out and they paid a lot better so I stayed for 35 years. Semper Fi.

Kunsan AB, ROK, was only bad because it was a remote, unaccompanied; the worst, Osan AB, ROK, the squadron leadership was horrible.

Best: Fort Lee and Camp Hialeah, Pusan, S. Korea
Worst: My unit at Fort Ord, CA. I liked Fort Ord, but hated my unit. Too many assholes who liked causing trouble. I was glad when I got out.
