I cannot say that one is the worst because I haven't been to every base. You decide how you perceive a place. You decide to sit in the barracks and be miserable or if you get out and see different places. It's all on you.Response by SGT David T. made Dec 10 at 2015 3:51 PM2015-12-10T15:51:30-05:002015-12-10T15:51:30-05:00SMSgt Bryan Raines1166177<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Minot North DakotaResponse by SMSgt Bryan Raines made Dec 10 at 2015 4:41 PM2015-12-10T16:41:21-05:002015-12-10T16:41:21-05:00PO3 Brad Phlipot1166216<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Adak Alaska has to be hell's version on earth, trust me you would rather run in front of a moving truck or gargle with razor blades than spend time in this paradise.Response by PO3 Brad Phlipot made Dec 10 at 2015 4:59 PM2015-12-10T16:59:51-05:002015-12-10T16:59:51-05:00PO1 Brian Austin1166263<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>As the saying goes, "It's what you make of it." <br />I never had a "bad" duty station. Granted some were better than others. <br />Of my duty stations if i had to vote a "worst" it would be Homestead AFB. The Navy had a tenant command there. The base itself was really nice. Our work site was out in a swamp about 10 miles away. My "vote" would be based on a very poor command climate. We had a lot of drug busts there, sometimes 5-10 people at a time, a sex ring in the barracks and also fraternization issues.<br /><br />But there was some awesome bass fishing there! And good night life in Miami Beach/Coconut Grove area, along with easy travel to the Florida Keys.Response by PO1 Brian Austin made Dec 10 at 2015 5:20 PM2015-12-10T17:20:59-05:002015-12-10T17:20:59-05:001SG Private RallyPoint Member1166342<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Thule AFS, Greenland<br /><br />Honorable mention to Fort Polk, LA.Response by 1SG Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 10 at 2015 5:55 PM2015-12-10T17:55:04-05:002015-12-10T17:55:04-05:00SMSgt Thor Merich1166421<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Johnston Island.

Some people hate base X "because it sucks" but they don't go out and do anything. Go out, meet people, LEARN. When you move on to your next duty station, start all over again. Go out, meet NEW people, and learn NEW stuff. Not only will that make you more interesting to be around, it may make you a better husband, father, Soldier, and American.Response by MSgt John Carroll made Dec 10 at 2015 7:48 PM2015-12-10T19:48:30-05:002015-12-10T19:48:30-05:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member1166721<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Fort wainwright, AlaskaResponse by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 10 at 2015 8:51 PM2015-12-10T20:51:47-05:002015-12-10T20:51:47-05:00PO2 Private RallyPoint Member1166738<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>El Centro, CA (in the United States)Response by PO2 Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 10 at 2015 8:58 PM2015-12-10T20:58:33-05:002015-12-10T20:58:33-05:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member1166806<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>This is all a matter of perspective. A lot of people will tell you that A, B, or C sucks but usually if you dig a little deeper their experiences are limited at that specific location. Most folks that say Fort Polk is the worst location to be at, were only there for JRTC. My advice to you is to embrace every duty station with an open mind and embrace the local culture and traditions. If you end up In Fort Polk, eat some Cajun food and go to Mardi gras. Fort Riley= hunting, fishing, Pillsbury crossing, Kansas city BBQ, and aggi-ville. Fort Sill= casinos, scooters, and rodeos. Point being there are experiences to be had everywhere and good or bad they will all be a story at your local VFW when you retire. Best of luck to you Soldier!<br />SSG VResponse by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 10 at 2015 9:27 PM2015-12-10T21:27:03-05:002015-12-10T21:27:03-05:001SG Private RallyPoint Member1167705<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>FORT BENNING!!!

When I received my orders to Altus AFB, OK, I was crushed... I was told that it is the 'armpit of the Air Force." However, I never had more fun than I did than when I was stationed there. I made friends and memories that will never be forgotten.
