Where is everyone stationed? And, do you love it?
Also, POLL:
If you could get stationed ANYWHERE in the world, where would it be?
I'll answer first. DH and I are stationed at Fort Hood, TX and we really do love it here. When asked while he was in Basic where we would want to be stationed our immediate first answer was "Anywhere but Texas" simply because it's so hot there and we were hoping to go somewhere a little cooler. But, since we've been here for almost a year we couldn't be any happier. It truly is "The Great Place!" Now, if we could be stationed anywhere we probably would want to go to Germany and maybe Colorado(somewhere cold.)

Re: Where is everyone stationed?
Camp Pendleton. LOVE it. Best duty station in years (though given where we've been that isn't really saying all that much).
I would love to get sent anywhere in Western Europe. No real preference, but I'm fluent in German and would love to go back to Germany.
Camp P here as well. I love it because its a lot better than my base was before I got out.
I would love to go overseas like Japan or somewhere.
We're currently at Fort Hood, TX. We've only been here for about a month and half but so far so good.
If we could go anywhere I'd love somewhere in Europe. Germany or Italy.
We are both stationed in Elizabeth City, NC. I don't LOVE it, but I am happy here.
If I could get stationed anywhere it would probably be Barbers Point, HI, even though I have never put it on my dream sheet.
San Diego we were only there for about a month before H deployed and I came home to stay with family but I think we will love it. It was our number one state side pick.
If we could choose Japan sounds like it would be such a fun experience or Europe.
Camp Pendleton. I'm over it. Thankfully we are going to AL in feb. SO excited. But, It's going to be so hard to leave my mom since she is so attached to DS after everything that happened.
I'd love to get stationed in london but that isn't an option. He was talking about requesting japan after our next duty station after I&I so 6ish years?
We're at Baumholder, Germany right now. We've only been here about 2 weeks so I can't say I love it yet. Germany was our number one choice when DH re-enlisted last year, so I'm assuming we'll like it. It's a bit cold for my taste (I'm from Texas), but hopefully I'll get used to it eventually. I KNOW it will be better than Ft. Bliss and Camp Hovey, South Korea!!
what base in NC? Cause DH and I are PCSing to Fort Bragg in January.
We're at Fort Hood also.
DH has been all over the place. Before coming to Fort Hood he was at Fort Benning and Fort Gordon,GA, Camp Karrol (Korea), Fort Huachuca, AZ, Fort Bliss, TX, Fort Jackson, SC, (those two were only a month each though), then Crescent City, CA (recruiter for 2 years), and lastly Camp Arifjon (Kuwait). Two deployments to Iraq were mixed into all that too.
I like to think that because they moved him around so much in his first 10 years that we'll be here for the rest of it but I know we'll probably end up PCS'ing somewhere else after his deployment next year. I'm from Texas though and I don't like to think about moving away!
DH is stationed at Ft. Lewis in Washington. I really like it here, but I don't love it...it rains too much and its depressing. It is a really nice post and a really nice area though.
If we could be stationed anywhere it would be Italy, then Germany, then the DC area and then Florida (or nearby).
Stationed at Spangdahlem AFB, in Germany.
This was our second choice, since DH has been stationed here (at Bitburg AFB back in the cold war and Ramstein too), but we are glad to be here.
While I don't quite LOVE it, I more than like it. I do not llike the weather. There is a distinct lack of sunlight (there are many a prosupers who will let their guys take 10 mins if the sun sneaks out.) But other than the cloud cover, its wonderful. But I love mountains/forest living.
If I could be stationed anywhere Kunsan in Korea. I loved Korea (though living downtown would not be an option and I hate base living). And the travel.....
We are PCSing to Pope AFB next month!
Barksdale AFB. Its a decent base and in a big city.
We're in New Orleans. Def was our last choice and I can't wait to get outta here!!! We it's my first move w/DH and we were supposed to go to TX... all I wanted was something south but I guess that'll teach me to be careful what I wish for in the military.
Don't really have the urge to go overseas, would love to stay in the south or on the east coast... but whatever, we're making the best of it for now...
We're at RAF Lakenheath right now, and I have a love-hate relationship with it. Hate the healthcare, don't love the base, but I love love love the area we live in off-base.
I want to go to Germany or Alaska next.
We are at Ft. Gordon, GA (in Augusta) It is really nice for an Army town and has all of the amenities (tons of resturaunts, shopping, great mall, etc.) and is in amazing proximity to al the great southern cities (Savannah, Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Atlanta, and Destin.) But I am not sure if it is my favorite. I miss having the seasons (I'm originally from Baltimore!) I actually really liked Ft. Drum, but was ready for a change since the OPTEMPO for deployments/field time was so high there. DH has a chill job now that he loves and it's a non-deployable slot for the next 2-3 years....not too shabby.
We want to go to Hawaii next, or Belgium!

We are at JB MDL in New Jersey. I like it but I am from here so it's my norm.
We would love to go somewhere abroad, like Turkey or Italy.
We are in San Diego and LOVE it. Before here DH was in Norfolk, VA for 8 years and we were happy to go anywhere but VA. We couldn't get out of there fast enough!!! We would love to go to Hawaii or overseas somewhere

Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson, AZ. Other than the hellish heat of summer, I really don't mind it.
I'd love to go somewhere in California or Washington, somewhere back east, or somewhere overseas -- In other words, I'm not picky. lol
We are at Fort Bragg, NC and it's okay. It is my first PCS and I am very much missing my husband being a recruiter in our hometown!
I would love to eventually go to HI and Alaska but later in his career due to babies and grandparents
We were at Bragg for most of the last 5 years, and I'd give it an 8/10. Great facilities, awesome rugby teams, good proximity to my parents, the beach, the mountains, 2 airports, a good-sized city in Raleigh, and Fayetteville itself has 2 theater companies, loads of local restaurants and a small farmers' market, 5 movie theaters (one independent with a liquor license), a great downtown, and many malls and typical chain restaurants if that's your thing. People who complain that it's boring are uninteresting and full of crap, I believe.
We really liked Fort Knox, KY, wouldn't go back to Fort Sill, OK if we could help it (although the meat comas at Meers were pretty cool!), and DH didn't have much good to say about Fort Riley. Benning is Benning. Tiny downtown, apartments very far from post, crappy drive to ATL, but good facilities. Meh.

DH is stationed in Okinawa, Japan. He hates it with a passion!
I'm in Savannah, Georgia (10 minutes from HAAF and 30 or so from Ft. Stewart) I love Savannah!!
We are stationed at Patuxent River NAS.
I like it because it is beautiful here. Quiet, quaint, cute waterfront areas, sweet farms, slower pace of life. You can get a good crabcake easily and in the fall there are REAL pumpkin patches. It is also as short(ish) drive to Annapolis and DC.
On the other hand, it is 90 minutes to the closest decent mall (and 45 minutes to the closest crappy mall). I feel like I shop at Target for EVERYTHING. I miss culture and arts and a wide variety of restaurants (that aren't Applebees and Olive Garden).
If I could be stationed anywhere in the world it would be somewhere in Europe. I'm not sure where... Maybe France or England.
