We were supporting a Pararescue Training operation that was diverted from Patrick, AFB to Key West because the parachute drying tower "broke". I thought the parachute drying tower breaking was a coincidence since the time we were down there was over Spring Break, but I wasn't complaining! 3 Weeks in Key West with a bunch of PJs, Per Diem and Spring Break going on... Where do I sign up for that again?! <br /><br />The worst place would have to be Sheppard AFB, TX in the summer... marching to and from class in BDUs, at 100% humidity and a 100 degrees sucked. I never deployed so I don't have any horrible stories associated with that so go easy on me guys and gals! Where are some of the best/worst places the Military has sent you to?

Schofield Barracks... Worst Place... Simi Valley, CA Recruiting Station... it was more the duty that was bad than the Place...

Back yard ended in the East channel of Pearl Harbor...kids threw mangoes from our tree into the water and watched the subs and ships go by. Great views in every direction.<br /><br />Worst: Chaklala Airfield, Pakistan, immediate aftermath of the earthquake in 2005. Leaky tents and 3 broke porta-johns for what eventually grew to over 300 people. No water, but plenty of Dysentery-induced vomit and diarrhea.

We stayed in a hotel on the beach, and it was awesome.<br /><br />I also spent 6 years in Hawaii working SIGINT. I would go back to either of places in a heartbeat.
