Hawaii was one of my best assignments. Even if you have a bad day at work, you're in paradise! The units I was in during my time there were also close-knit. Enjoyed Germany and Europe as well. But after several years in the Army, you learn to make the most of wherever you are stationed.

My best duty Station was Camp Scwhab, Okinawa, Japan. Loved the sea and was a nice tropical paradise. Also a great hub to fly off to mainland japan.

Best for me is anywhere but Fort Hood, worst is of course Fort Hood, Killeen is garbage, the base is crazy big, too many people, when I was leaving the new leadership had all this crazy new rules like you couldn't go to the gym in the morning by yourself, only if the whole unit was there, not even if you were on leave and wanted to work out; the only good thing I always heard about the hood was that Austin was 1 hour away or so, Dallas 2-2 hours, but never anything good about the post itself

i would have to say that mountain home was my favorite base, i would always like to go back there and i would have to say Edwards would be a not as good base, but its not a worst base for me. it is a great place to get schooling done.

I love my current duty station, Macdill AFB and absolutely hated Fort Detrick, MD. The weather, the drive, the traffic, the cost, the drive, the drive, and the drive were the worst.

If you think Schweinfurt was great you should have been in Heidelberg, best post and location in Europe in my opinion. Schweinfurt wasn't great to me but we made the best of it. Make sure you get out and travel, you are close to Prague and Munich.

Germany - been there for a total of 6 years and I love it there. Would not want to retire and live there but 3 years is just right. Once there you have so many places to go.
