Sounds like working with Brads honestly.

Pretty dead on.... if you have experience with Bradleys then you have an idea whats ahead. Less than Bradleys more than light as far as m0otor pool bs and what not. also all brigades at Lewis are strykers... 2ID is strykers.

Nice post though... consistently shitty.... youll know what to expect 200 days a year of light light rain and no sun. Personally I liked it... very mild almost no snow in the winter.

Im new there myself only been there for like 3 weeks. Depending on what bde your going too get ready for alot of field time.

I’m currently here be prepared to go to Yakima a lot and family time out the window. Area is awesome a lot to do but being stationed yeah I can’t wait to leave

You currently there?

i grew up in the area. don't let people taint your perception with the "it doesn't do anything but rain". the Pacific Northwest barely breaks into the top 30 (with only 3 cities) in the "most rain" category (crime rate on the other hand...do your research!). the area does get it's fair share of rain, Washing State has the Hoh Rain Forrest. you are minutes away from mountains if you are in to skiing, hiking, or hunting and just a short drive to the coast. i know a lot of people who have either ETS'ed or retired and have stayed in the area. the cost of living might be slightly higher than other places in the U.S. but commuting in to the bigger cities where the higher paying/high tech jobs are, seems to be worth their while. good luck on your move.

Yep Im here
