The best duty stations are Fort Couch, Fort Bed and, Fort Sham

[johnossmann]

My next to last duty station was in Ft. Wainwright, AK. When one of the NCOs in my company there that had previously been stationed at Ft. Polk learned I had orders to Ft. Polk, he told me: "On weekends, the only thing you will be doing will be walking around Walmart". I took that with a grain of salt as people like to exaggerate things.

Guess what I did on my weekends at Ft. Polk 😒

[BriteFrog]

Fort Polk was called "Tigerland" during the Vietnam War, and was used to acclimate troops to jungle environment before shipping out to 'Nam., and my cadre when I was in the Army in the late '70's called it the "armpit of the Army".

[bruh]

Fort Hood
Where dreams go to die, the Devil lives, and re-enlisting is a joke amongst everyone

[dreamsofkaia]

Now days Fort Hood seems more dangerous than a deployment.

[mattclawson]

I was stationed at Ft Drum from 87 to 95 and the installation DID close on numerous occasions during winter snow falls. It also downsized to essential personnel as well. The lake effect snow up there was no joke. They forecasted "feet per hour." And they weren't wrong

[micahrosen]

I have heard more than 1 VietNam vet say that "If the world were to get an enema. Ft. Polk would be the insertion point".

[jamesfoster]

FT. Bragg... where even the STDs are airborne lol
Had to lead with Bragg didnt ya Chaos lol

[derekcolvin]

Fort Puke, Lousy-anna...not a huge shock.
During my service with the Army National Guard in Texas, our company Commander decided to have us drive to gorgeous Leesville, Louisiana and complete qualifying on the M16A1.
For the 3 days we were there, it rained continuously and we were all fortunate enough to stand in foxholes with water up to our shoulders to qualify in.
Not the best situation to be in but it did Keep Us ready in case of Rapid deployment

[Kaskaskia]

I worked as a civilian contractor on FT Drum. Snow, snow, Snow But the summers are nice and lots of outdoor activities. Fishing, Hunting, whitewater Rafting, Hiking, Boating. plus there are still drive in movie theaters in Black river and Alexander Bay. another downside is the lack of decent food.

[nightmarefiles]

I’ve been stationed at Fort Riley, Fort Bragg, Fort Polk, and Fort Hood.

[Osoyoos]

I was an Army BRAT in the 50s and loved every minute of it. When I joined in 66, my father told me the two most memorable duty stations I would remember would be the worst is the post I just left and the best is the next post I would be going to. How true that turned to be.

[DudesWithACamera]

They say the only ppl who wanna go to Irwin either are from CA or never been to CA and think it's all beaches haha

[Penman-Music]

I was at Fort Polk in the 80's. I totally agree with it being number 1. When I was there we still trained for Reforger and other deployments. The surroundings just plain sucked. The heat was crazy.

[rastus]

I did 4 years in the Navy, and may have had one of the best duty stations ever. I was stationed on a destroyer in Athens, Greece, for 2 1/2 years. Sailed around the Mediterranean, made port visits in Italy, Turkey, France, Spain, and the Greek Islands. Being a small ship, it could get into all ports. This was in the 70s, before it all became commercialized, overgrown, dirty, and dangerous. Used to sit on the steps of the Parthenon and watch tour groups from all over the world. Laid naked on a beach on a Greek Island(Mykonos), for 9 days. Met girls from all over the world. NZ ladies were the nicest.

[burntorangeandblue]

I'll never forget when my buddy was set to PCS to Drum and was braggin' about all of the skiing he was going to do and he was finally somewhere it was never hot ... and immediately deployed to Haiti once he got to Drum.

[seanchambers]

A big miss re: Ft Bragg, which I really liked, is the crazy numbers of college girls at NC State, Duke, and UNC. It was pretty solid for a single guy - outside of Fayettenam obviously.

[quanprop]

I was stationed at 2 of the 5. Fort Irwin my 1st duty station (4years) and Fort Bragg (13 years). Some advantages to both. Alot of field time. Work Hard, Play Hard. Fort Bragg gave me stability. My son (22) has been in Fayetteville all his life. Jump out of planes you don't have to leave. Good thing.

[thesaturdaymorningcowboy]

After over 20 years in the Army, I can tell you which one is the worst and which one is the best. The worst duty station is the one you just left and the best duty station is the next one you're headed to.

I spent 3 years in the mid 80s serving in the 5th ID at Ft Polk situated near the beautiful hamlet of Sleaze-ville, I mean Disease-ville, I mean Leesville... The only positive was; I had just arrived from basic and AIT, so at the time I was thinking that the “permanent party” life was awesome! (That didn’t last too long though...). As time wore on, I remember volunteering for an NTC rotation at Ft Irwin (that actually was fun, but short lived), trying to PCS to Korea several times (denied every time), and finally volunteering to join the “nation building” force in Panama just as things started going south down there (denied once more). Anything to leave the swamp!!! So being really motivated, I separated from the Army, went to college, joined AFROTC, got commissioned in the USAF, went to UPT, flew jets for 17yrs and then retired. I’d say it all worked out OK... 😅
