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 wasn't stationed at either & it was so long ago wouldn't matter, but I visted friends frequently at Ft. Bragg over the years & the area since, & I lived near Ft. Richardson while hubby was stationed at AFB Eilson in Anchorage. TAKE ALASKA! It was a wonderful place even camping in below 0 weather! The ONLY reason we didn't retire there was because my husband is a 24/7 gardening addict & the days weren't long enough.

I stand corrected. Elmendorf AFB is next to Ft Richardson. (You would think hubby would remember his duty stations, wouldn't you?)
My advice still stands. TAKE ALASKA!

What it sounds like your saying is you don’t wanna go to a line unit because you don’t wanna be part of the team and you don’t actually want to have to do any work. You don’t wanna get told what to do or be held accountable for screwing up and you want your weekends. Well shoot! why didn’t you say so? Go see a navy recruiter.

Honestly no matter where you go itll always be NCOs that nag, thats their job. Far as which one is best its really up to you...i love fort bragg but i know a lot of people that hate it, but this is my first active duty contract here after being in the guard so i like the atmosphere here. I've also heard good and bad about alaska so you just gotta make the best of it

Fucking ANYWHERE is better than Bragg.
Like, Alaska, or Egypt, or Hell.

Aw, Come on! I loved my time at Bragg. I was in a great unit with great esprit de corps and really liked the area. Close to the coast and also close to the mountains for those long weekends. Sure hated to leave and go way up north in Korea! I live in Alaska now and wish I had taken the opportunity to be stationed here back when I was an active duty soldier. IMO, you can't go wrong with either assignment.
