Great video. It seems like the locals are the ones that don’t seem to like El Paso, but outsiders can appreciate a true gem when they see it.
it's great to hear people that are not sinical comment on a place you are about to live in, thank you for your video and service.
Thank you someone tell that to @texasdadbod lol 😂
I loved my years at Fort Bliss! El Paso was great in the 90s!
Yes I agree. El Paso has grown a lot in the past few years as well!
El Paso is still great.
I would say it's even better today .
WWII 5 Star General Omar Bradly retired at Fort Bliss
Thanks for the video
My pleasure thank you!
Great content guy! Please discuss /verify if there’s an On Base High School and housing for SGM Academy. Thanks.
There is housing for the Sgt’s Major Academy. Many people attending live on post or at apartments in the NE. I suppose it depends on whether you’re US Army or IMSO also.
yes definitely

thanks appreciate it! I'll need to do a video for my next video
Not sure about now,, but when I was ther, they had elementary school on post. SGM Academy housing was also available.
Definitely not a Killeen lol
Not at all! lol
Are you guys under duress or experiencing stockholm syndrome ? FT Bliss is cool and all but El Paso has nothing to do but drink and eat a rotation of different foods with tortillas and cheese cooked several different ways and an airport to escape cause you know it’s horrible . Other than that waking up to blow sand off your porch and thinking tumbleweed’s are enough green any human really needs or almost getting plowed into by someone crossing over three lanes exiting the last minute to the nearest GWalmart is very stressful. No amount of hiking in Mckelligon Canyon , dirt bike riding in red sands or Golfing in the El Paso Country Club while drunk as hell can make me stay! Only real reason Soldiers stay there is because they got an El Paso girl pregnant and she won’t leave because her entire family is there and she refuses to live anywhere Mexican food isn’t “ Authentic” . 😅
FT Hood is obviously trash but if you leave there alive you can move to Georgetown rite outside of Austin which is also a military community and way way nicer than El Paso . You can actually see real water if you still remember what it’s like and fish 😮 and ride on boats /jet skis and drive 20 minutes down to Austin where there are so so many green trees 🌲 and rivers and lakes and tons of different ethnicities and culture’s everywhere not just on base 😅. It’s either live in a place with bad traffic and sandy mountains as scenery or live in a place with bad traffic and everything El Paso wishes they had and scenery on top of that . 😅
Is fort bliss that bad, I'm 19d and that's where I go
I don't think so lol opinions may vary some people really like it some people really hate it. It's what you make of it in my opinion. I'd rather be here than Sill, Polk, Drum, etc. but everyone has different preferences@@unknownhero1785
@@michaelhugheselpasorealtor3531its pretty cool so far
It's a great desert 🏜 city. Sure, we have a season of dust storms, but I'll take that over earthquakes, hurricanes, icestorms, snowstorms, ect. For the size of the city it's also extremely safe. As far as Mexican food, it's as authentic as it gets. It's Mexico's Northern region food style. Also, tortillas are like the bread of Italian food. But I'm sorry if you ate the same thing, I can't help you with that. It's also very affordable compared to other texas cities. The juarez airport is right next door, so if you want to travel and you have a low budget, then the Mexican airport is the way to go. You're right about the water, but to compare the city to a lush area is like saying that the jungle sucks because they never get snow. I also thought the traffic was bad in El Paso, until I came back from Dallas.
I agree, we have been here 10 years. Lots of cool local areas to explore. I'm still finding fun things to do that are new! @@unknownhero1785
Nope. El Paso sucks . I was born & raised. I worked on bliss . Took off to San Antonio.
I can't imagine why you would say that El Paso sucks ?
I strongly disagree.
El Paso is horrible. Downtown may be clean, with all the illegal migrants that's here I doubt it's still clean. The roadsides are full of trash. Trash stuck in bushes along the roads. Even some trash near homes, I'd think residents would have pride and clean it up. Good luck getting a job if you do not speak Spanish. I like Ft Bliss. The mountains are OK. But it's not as green as the video makes it seem. There is one lake and no ponds, the one lake is dirty looking. I hear many people complain El Paso residents do not like the military.

I don't know where you are but I live in El Paso and I see none of what you say . El Paso is clean and beautiful 🙂
Typical local, can’t appreciate a unique gem.
San Antonio is crime ridden and hot asf with humidity. To each their own
