    💥 I hope you enjoyed this video! Here are my top 5 worst duty stations in the U.S ARMY! If you go to one of these duty stations i'm sorry in advance lol. But in all reality the duty stations that you go too in the army or in the military in general are what you make of it. As well as personal preference, depending on how you grew up you might actually like some of these duty stations in the army. However, if you had to choose a duty station I wouldn't chose any of these.
    💥 Make sure to comment on any questions you might have or any new video ideas you would like to see next! I will do my best to reach back out to you as soon as possible!

    Stationed at ft.polkt 87 , to 90 , ft. Irwin was a vacation compared to louisiana, roughest place that I loved, got married and settled in oklahoma, civilian life was so easy,a lot of young americans should consider a hitch in the military.you will move your life forward

    Can't say I've ever been to Ft. Polk, but I have a couple trips to NTC. I would crank up Fort Irwin as the worst, because if you are stationed there you become OP4 and are basically in the field all the time. That's just my take on it.

    Was at Drum from Nov. 2K18 - June 2K22. Weather is very rough. Summer is absolutely amazing for like the 3 months out of the year then straight to fall and winter. The outside PT during winter is miserable and daily duties like MP Mondays, layouts, etc. is trash. I got Reynaud's (cold weather condition from injuries and too much cold) and I was on a "Deadman's cold weather profile" for the last 2 years there so it was't as bad for me at least. Ngl there is a decent amount to do in surrounding areas to include Thousand Islands, Sackets Harbor, Syracuse and as mentioned Canada. Watertown and Evans Mills is very mid but I somewhat miss it. Just make the most of it and it can be fun. If you do go there enjoy being called in on snow days where the rest of post has off due to road conditions and take part in "SRT" and no not Special Response Team, Im talking "Snow Removal Team" 12 hour shift plowing and shoveling unit AO's. P.S. avoid "Watertown whales" and don't even try to "earn" your MTN patch by encountering these Watertown Whales... IFKYK

    I was stationed at Fort Irwin after A.I.T. at Fort Huachuca, so I was already used to a desert environment. I was just hoping for NOT Fort Drum, since I prefer the heat. The National Training Center wasn’t as bad as people think. The fact that it’s a small base means there only like six places you need to drive to. Anywhere else you can walk. This was good for me, since the first couple of months, I didn’t have my truck shipped out there yet. Going out into the box (short for the sandbox, nickname for the surrounding Mohave Desert) ten days at a time, ten times a year, meant more days off. The Sunday or Monday we get back, we have that Friday off; then, the next week, we have that Thursday and Friday off. Unfortunately, that means we have less chance of getting a good day for C.Q. or Staff Duty. I got a chance to work with intel marines. I saw British and Australian soldiers. Yes, Barstow, the closest town was 45 minutes away and it wasn’t even much of a town, but that’s the same distance from my parents’ house to my grandparents’ house, so I was used to that kind of trip. Plus, the base was three hours away from both Las Vegas and Los Angeles, so that has to count for something. I’d say for me, the biggest hassle was to drive 45 minutes to the closest McDonalds in March for the shamrock shake.
    I recently just sign a new contract to reenlist in the army in my old MOS. I was given a choice of duty station between Fort Hood, Texas and Fort Campbell, Kentucky. I choose Fort Campbell as I have not heard good things about Fort Hood, including from this video.

    I live in Lawton/ft sill.. we are in the Midwest, sooooo yes, it’s windy and hot… they must not know the OKLAHOMA song.. haha! We get 5 seasons. It’s not that bad here.. climate change has worsen our seasons over the years. The plus 100 temps have only been the last two years… the cold months are short lived. They shut down the town with black ice on the road, lol..this has only happened the past 3 yrs.. and the shut down is for a day or two.. mostly ft sill is who shuts down.. march/April is our spring/tornado season.. lots of rain and beautiful skies, as you watch the storms roll in❤️❤️❤️ most amazing views here in Lawton/ft sill area. Is it boring, yes! But, traveling is easy. We are smack dead in the middle of U.S. I can go to Colorado in 9 hrs. To the beach in 10… it’s not ALLLL bad. ❤️
