I have the option to go to fort Bragg or to Alaska? which station should I choose, I am a 25B. which would be more fun, less restricting(on leave), have more freedom to do things. I don't want to be at a unit that has nagging sergeants all the time or constantly having to do infantry work as a 25B. I don't mind PT or having to do PT standards like infantry men because I'm fit...I just don't want to have to do jobs like them. I want to be a 25B in a relaxed environment. haha I'm sure there is no avoiding motor pool Mondays so I don't care about that I just want to make the best decision here. Any advice would be great. I also hear people who have Bragg have little to no weekend times and you can lose your family being stationed there because of people saying work is never done. Please help.

"I don't want to be at a unit that has nagging sergeants all the time" You mean you don't want to be around NCO's doing their job?

PFC (Join to see) Private, realize that there is an incredibly high possibility that someone from your current or future chain of command is watching you disrespect Field Grade Officers and Senior Non Commissioned Officers on this post. The army is small.

PFC (Join to see) - And you thought your "I don't want to be at a unit that has nagging sergeants all the time" was going to elicit anything helpful?
Here is the only tip I have for you and I'll leave you to your own resources, as I would not want to bother you with my nagging.
Dont trash talk the people you are asking for help from.
Best of luck to you.....If you would like, Id be happy to pass along your nagging concerns to the senior NCOs of the unit you end up at.

It do not matter where you go in life until you stop expecting something without putting forth effort and energy the result will always be the same. I noticed that there is an I problem. If you want winning results stop whining and get productive in your actions and that will take you just about where you want to be.

The answer you’re seeking is obvious!
You need to go to Fort Livingroom. That’s the only duty station where you’ll find what you’re seeking....

No one is hating, just speaking the truth... and with your attitude, anywhere you choose is going to have "NAGGING" SGT's.

Sounds like you’re looking for a civilian job with no supervision. Good luck!

PFC (Join to see) -PFC, you’ve got a lot to learn. “Hating” is an emotion, which indicates a “care” for your situation. That’s an incorrect assumption on your part. My response is an observation based on your initial posting, and verified by your follow on responses. What you do and how you do it is of no concern of mine. Here’s another observation to help you along; to my knowledge, there aren’t any PFC assignments that don’t have a chain of supervising NCO’s. Note the operative; “supervising”.
But I stand by my earlier post, I see a civilian job in your not too distant future.

COL David Turk - I would assume the 25B field is a relatively close knit bunch, compared the bulk of MOS's out there. I would also assume that the young PFC's internet postings will arrive at wherever his Duty Station is well before he does. I would hope that his new COC will have a very warm welcoming reception for him.
I would hope.

SSG Gregg Kemp I agree with you. I would say similar, at least in my day, to the signal corps. If you were in a radio operators/repair MOS, you could be assigned to a signal corps unit or be tasked out to a line unit. It’s pretty obvious this guy thinks he can select which swivel chair he sits in. Maybe he can in today’s Army. But I have to believe that NCOs are NCOs. Something he’ll learn shortly.

I spent a lot of time at Bragg and it can be hard but it also depends on what unit you are with at the time. If you get one of the SF groups or USASOC it is an amazing gig. Hard work but great times. There is the sustainment units or the Corps which are a little different but more structured. The good thing is there a tons of options for your MOS on Bragg. As for Alaska the options shrink a lot but if you are into the outdoor activities (hunting, fishing, etc...) then it could be a great gig. Hope this helps.

I tell you what PFC don't bother coming to Alaska with that attitude. we don't need Soldiers that give us those kinds of headed as we have more important things to take care of then babysit you to turn around and chapter you out. we have Soldier who deserves our attention and do have a sense of military bearing on and off duty.

You ask a question yet you listening to others. First, decide what you want then look at the benefits of your choice. All duty stations are what you make of them. We were on Fort Bragg for most of my career and it was a great duty station. Focus on what you can control and go with your instincts.

Go to Bragg and ask to to Join Delta, they would love to have someone of your caliber in their unit, just head out to gate at Wally World and shake it, the welcoming committee will be out accept your application in person.

One simple little thing, you will have to go to a selection process. Everyone assigned from the mechanic, cook, clerk, and up to operational support have to go through selection which is not the same as the operators; door kickers. What that is, something you will not know about if you get past the records' check.

I have never heard a bad thing about being stationed in Alaska. I spent 13 years at Fort Bragg and have many reasons to recommend a good change.

I spent 10 years at Bragg and 5 at FortRichardsn, Your attitude is your worst enemy. The military is what you make of it and you are looking for a slide for life. I hope you get out and find something you are willing to put 100% into. But with an attitude like that, I would expect job-hopping and near poverty for your future.
