What is the best thing about the base/post/camp that you are stationed at (or the one you are closest to)?

hmm that's a good question. I think the commissary is the best benefit. I really do save a ton of money shopping there instead of the local grocery store...even though the produce sucks so I go to the reg grocery store for that...which makes two trips. But still totally worth it. I'm not sure what I like best about it though. I'm a total nerd and I think the whole thing is really cool haha so who knows...

lets see...i love the fact that i can go to the beach on base and not deal with crowds of people. but i think what i like best is that its close to all sorts of stuff thats outside the base. i love the area, and the waether.

I am also one who loves the commisary! I love this area in general. It's very different from backhome and I enjoy that change of pace.

um...everything. I'm like 15 minutes away from a mall, target and huge walmart and a college. I'm like 2 hours away from Topeka and like 2 hours away from Wichita and like a little bit longer i think to KC which has tons of crap. The weather is nice here and the people are awesome. Also my husband isnt sitting at work until 7 everyday doing nothing like it was at ft stewart. we have a brand new px and commissary so i just like everything!! its great! plus i get to make fun of all the yankees while they make fun of me!!
