Ft Sam is the best duty station in the US period bro. I loved my time there. I'm from South Texas but I'm not being bias. The night life in SA is amazing. And I was only 2 hours from my hometown. I never took vacation days lol. My Top 3 wishlist picks were 1.Ft Sam 2. Germany 3. Hawaii
Fort Sam is awesome!! I love the night life, the day life and the food, it’s awesome. Great list too btw. Thanks for the support of the channel, i appreciate you!
Thanks for the comment and two in one day? You going for the record? Thank you Sir!! I was stationed at Carson from 2007-2009 and it was amazing. I literally did not want to leave and tried hard as heck to stay. I’ll have to check out Daegu, I’ve been to Carrol before for TDY but couldn’t leave post because it was for a class. Again, thanks for the support of my channel big brother.
Anthony Thanks for the comment and for watching. Yea I’ve been to FSH a few times and it was aight for real, had a great time each time and the units seem chill af. Hopefully I could pull off the duty station before I retire out. Thanks for the support bro.
Here is my top 5 (based off my experience and opinions from others I know) 1. Bragg (I’m from NC but I believe that you can’t beat the location at all. Right off 95 and have places like DC, ATL, Charlotte, beaches and mountains close by.) 2. Hawaii (Aloha vibes are real unless you’re in 25th ID. Shafter is what you want. Everything is slow paced and chill.) 3. Carson (Never been but hear a ton of good things) 4. Germany (I hear it’s travelers paradise. Cheap to visit other places) 5. Jackson (Same reasons as you bro lol)
Thanks for watching brother! 1. People love Bragg for some reason, it’s cool and I like it for all the reasons you said, but All American week kinda turned me off, the excess Army is too much for my brain lol 😂. 2. Never been to Hawaii but I really want to go. My brother is there and hates it but I’m sure he’s just being dramatic. 3. Man Carson is awesome, the views, the food, even the unit was ok, I was in the CAB aviation. 4. Germany is beautiful and so close to Italy, France, Czech and a plethora of other cool European spots. Belgium is pretty dope too. 5. I can’t say enough about Jackson, it’s just a really chill place to be stationed. Myrtle Beach and Charleston are a plus, if you get a chance to go, don’t say no bro. Again thanks for the support!
Thanks for watching and your support of the channel. I’ve been to Fort Eustis quite a few time visiting friends and I can say the location of it is freaking everything. I love the area, there’s so much to do there!
@@BigBroDre Yes indeed , No problem at all. I was stationed at Camp Humphrey Korea and PCS’d to FT Eustis 2000-2006 deployed with them 2wice to Iraq. I loved it there.
Awesome stuff, yea that area is pretty amazing, especially VA Beach. Welcome to the family too, I think this is the first comment I’ve seen from you!! Take care✊🏾
Thanks for the comment brother and the support of the channel. Let’s get it!!! Basic training is the first step to all this stuff man, so focus, beat out the pack and become a great Soldier. Believe in yourself and you will be great. Good luck to you G.
1. Stuttgart Germany - Big City life meets country life. Festivals for days 2. Okinawa Japan, Kadena Air Base - Island life! Freshest sushi you’ll ever have in the world. Ramen shops every where. Ocean is 5 minutes on any direction. 3. Fort Sill Oklahoma - Country Outdoors life. Hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, swimming, biking.
I agree, I loved Germany, my wife loves Japan. I hate hate hate Fort Sill though, it was cold as the North Pole in the winter and I deployed too much from there. Not to mention the Artillery is the noisiest part of the Army and they’re all there haha. Just joking it actually wasn’t that bad, just really country except in OKC.
Thanks for the comment and supporting the channel. Fort Lee and Jackson are in my Top 15 duty stations, good weather and good food, make for a great duty station. Not to mention, you have to really try hard to get deployed from either one of these places. Thanks again for supporting the channel
My top 3 is Daegu or seoul Korea - real city life.travel.food. Germany- travel all over europe.Cheap beer. Fort.Lewis,WA- beautiful moutains.Close to Seattle My top 3 dream station is Fort.Carson Fort.Belvoir San Antonio
Thanks for watching! You will love out there, that was my 2nd duty station, had a blast. A couple quick tips before you get there. Start running more, up hills if you can. The elevation is hell and it doesn’t matter where you’re from, you will feel it the first time you run. Stay away from the WEED!! That sh** is legal for everybody but you, so leave it alone brother. Last but not least, prostitution is not legal in the United States, no matter if it looks like it in Colorado Springs, they will lock you up and put it on the internet. Have fun, travel the state and good luck to you.
Thanks for watching! You’re going to love that place from what I hear. I follow a young lady on YT names ASAPari, she just got there and has made a few videos about it like quarantine requirements and area stuff, check her out if you get time. Again, thanks for the support.
Yes Sir!!! 🙌🏾 That would be my top duty station if I wasn’t from there. It’s just too close to home for me. Thanks for the support of the channel brother!
Not a whole lot. You can talk to branch or switch duty stations with your classmates but you pretty much have to take what they have. You have to think of it from a practical Army standpoint. You will be starting from the lowest Officer rank in the Army, branch will pretty much guide your career until your first CW2 PCS. Calling branch can’t hurt though, once you get orders(RFO).
I have been stationed all over and without a doubt Germany is the best. Granted Heidelberg was the best but now is closed. A close second is Honolulu Ft. Shafter, however if you are prone to Rock Fever maybe you shouldn’t go there. Japan (Yokohama, Zama, and Tokyo) was a good assignment (my first assignment) and it got even better when I got Tokyo as my duty assignment. My worst assignment was Ft. Irwin, CA. I am sure it didn’t help that I was assigned there in Jan 1981 (Post was not activated until July 1981).
Tom, Thanks for the comment and supporting the channel, i appreciate it. Germany is definitely a top pick, from the people to the beer to the food, it’s all great over there! Japan is another wonderful place from a cultural aspect, and of course the food(I love to eat!) I am most definitely not a fan of Fort Irwin. It’s just too sandy and isolated. The closest city is 30 minutes away and it still sucks and has sucked since 81, no updates to name. Again thanks for watching, take care Sir!
@@BigBroDre , I want to thank you and all veterans for your and their service. I enjoy watching your video and others to see what we as service members really enjoy about the different places we can be assigned to. Unfortunately a few of the places I was assigned to have now been closed, Ft McPherson, GA, Ft. Benjamin Harrison, IN, and Heidelberg, Germany. I enjoyed Germany so much that 22 years after leaving I was fortunate enough to return as a civilian for the Army and worked for 10 years till my retirement from Civil Service and I am still here. Keep up the good videos.
@tompetty5482 Wow I love Warner Robins! I spent a ton of time there when I was a Recruiter in Dublin,GA. What a coincidence, shocked you didn’t list Warner Robins as a favorite military place, it’s great. I guess it’s different when you grow up there. Good stuff though fellow Georgia native!!
Thanks for the comment and supporting the channel! Yes I had great times at both of these places, I think I’ll make another one of these lists soon and make it a top 10, I have to rearrange some things and break down some better descriptions of duty stations. Again thanks for the feedback!
For some reason, I did it see this in my notifications, my bad for the delay. So, AGR is like one of the best kept secrets in the Army, because you’re in the Reserves, serving on Active Duty. To be honest, they’re essentially the same as far as benefits, pay, housing and the trivial stuff. Your experience will be a little different as far as duty stations, flight hours and missions. With that said, I don’t think one is better than the other aesthetically. The Reserves is a little more relaxed and little less invasive. They also offer some monetary bonus options sometimes and you don’t have to move around as much as Active Duty. Seems like you have quite the choice to make, good luck Marc.
Thanks for the comment. All of them are pretty similar tbh, I’d say Fort Gordon is a better area than Fort Stewart but that’s subjective, it depends on what your looking for. They both have similar housing and duties. Choose wise, good luck.
@@BigBroDre thank you I really appreciate I miss the south so much I’m in California and ready to change my life so I’m trying to find something good for me and I wanna to go to college in the military
Yea I liked Lewis, the scenery, the culture and of course the food. Bragg is too Army for me, I love what I do, but sometimes I want to be around people that don’t Army, there’s no escape at Bragg haha. I’m fro good Old Savannah GA.
Thanks for watching, your support is the lifeline of this channel for real. 17E is a really specialized MOS meaning damn near any duty station is great for you G. You will be a rare breed and highly coveted wherever you go and you will enjoy the feeling. So try to pick a spot with good weather, that’s your best option.

Sir, How much choice do you get after WOCS on your follow on duty assignment.?
Not a whole lot. You can talk to branch or switch duty stations with your classmates but you pretty much have to take what they have. You have to think of it from a practical Army standpoint.
