I've been pretty lucky in my career. I started out in Vicenza, Italy before the 173rd was restructured into the current BCT format. I had a great time there.
After Italy I went to Fort Richardson, AK. We stood up 4th BDE (ABN) 25th ID. The location was great but Anchorage grew up too fast. I'm now at Fort Wainwright, AK and it's by far my favorite location. So much to do everywhere.
The worst duty station was Fort Benning. Mostly do to Columbus and the politics of being in TRADOC.

I know what you mean about TRADOC. I feel bad about Anchorage. Ft. Rich used to be such an awesome place, but there is just so much development all around it now that just wasn't there in the early- and mid-70s.

As of right now all I have experienced is Bragg for the last 7 years. I am hoping to get out of here soon as Fayetteville gets boring. There are things to do but you have to drive west a couple of hours to go the mountains or two hour drive east to the beach.

Hopefully next assignment would be Alaska, Lewis, Carson but I am not complaining about anything at this point.

Having spent my adolescent years in a third world country, I have yet been stationed anywhere I didn't like. This has served me well in that I see the positive in every location. This is not to say I loved the jobs at every location but the assignments were always a positive experience. The common denominator, however, has been the level of dissatisfaction by many members for things that are not really important.

Best was Bitburg AFB, Germany. I did not have a worst. I loved every place I was stationed and wish I was still on active duty

<p>Minus basic training and AIT I've only been in two units. One was at Ft. Bliss, TX and the other is here in Okinawa, Japan. I went through a lot at Ft. Bliss. Some was good some was not so good. Overall I wouldn't be completely upset if I had to go back there but I would prefer to go elsewhere and see what else is out there. With my MOS there are only 4 duty stations I can go to CONUS and 3 OCONUS so the chances I end up back at bliss at some point in my career are pretty high. </p><p><br></p><p>However, I've been here in Okinawa for almost 2 1/2 years and I love it. The island of Okinawa is beautiful. There is always something to do. The "winter" here is pretty warm compared to most places. I don't know if it's ever dipped below 48 degrees my entire time here. The Summers are pretty humid but not too bad. There is always some sort of festival going on. The Japanese love fireworks, especially in the summer. So it's really easy to catch some of the best fireworks shows you've ever seen. They have Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines here so the MWR's for all the branches are always having events and concerts for the personnel stationed here. The Japanese culture is great to learn about and the people are so nice to Americans. Its overall just a wonderful place. One that will be hard to say goodbye to in 7 months when I leave and one that I would definitely want to come to again in the future if I'm given the chance. </p>
