SPC (Join to see), lots of opportunities for living off-post in the "Greatest Hometown in the U.S. Army." Fountain/Security have a lot of nice, affordable places to live south of Ft. Carson.

My experience of Ft. Carson dates back to 1974-1976. It was a great first duty station. There was lots to do back then and there is probably tons more now. I've been back a number of times when I visit my sister-in-law in Pueblo. A lot of new barracks complexes. They built a new hospital, new commissary and PX. You can drive to the Air Force Academy and watch Falcon's Football and go to Denver for Bronco's Football. And Cheyenne Mountain is great. When it snowed I would drive up mountain to the old mining towns.
You'll have a great time there. Best of luck to you.

The housing market is amazing so don't be afraid to go for an inexpensive house if you're good with home improvement. BAH was $1,550 for me as a SPC so you have a bit of leeway when it comes to the area you want to live in. There are tons of amazing places to live off post if you have an area in mind feel free to message me and I can give you some tips on where to stay and what places to avoid. As for units good luck. 3ABCT is where careers tend to end. They've had a stint of terrible leadership for years. I hope it gets better during your time there for you. If you have any other questions feel free to message me.
