I'm trying to figure out where i'd like to go for my wish list. I'm sure I wont get sent where I'd like to go but I'd like to try anyways. Anyways Anyone have any suggestions? So far I'd like to go to Hawaii, florida or Colorado.
That sucks about Florida hehe. I'm sticking with Colorado, tx and washinton. :) I've been to Germany so I know it's pretty nice.

Are there any Army bases in Spain for Japan?
I'm not sure whats with all the thumbs down. I appreciate all your answers thanks.
 
Stick with Colorado....lol.....Hawaii is EXPENSIVE and there are no Army Posts in Florida.....I liked Ft. Campbell, KY and Ft. Hood, TX though some people would disagree with me about Ft. Hood....a lot of it depends on your MOS as well

Ok seriously there was no call for a thumbs down she asked what bases we liked and I told her...geez people are jerks sometimes
 
I loved Germany when I was there. I was even going to ETS in Germany and stay there, but my German wife flew the coop, so I reenlisted to go back to the States.

Pretty much anywhere you go in Germany is pretty nice. Just be sure you don't become a barracks rat and spend all of your time there on post.

Anywhere you go, there are going to be pluses and minuses.
 
I've been to Fort Benning GA, Fort Knox KY, and Korea. Benning is alright- it's real big and just a few hours from Panama City, FL. There aren't any army bases in Florida by the way. Benning is also an hour and a half from Atlanta- so there is plenty to do on the weekends. It's nasty as hell in the summer though.
 
Ft.Stewart, GA. Lots of location, location, location! Beaches galore, River St. in Savannah, Disney, Hilton Head, Beaches from Hell! They do deploy alot but you have so much at your fingertips here. The best deployment destination when you have off time.
 
I have been on Benning, Bragg, Lewis, McCoy and visited Schofield, Sill, and Hood. I didnt like Benning probably because I have spent most of my infantry life there in the summer and its Hot and Humid. It does have a nice location to go to Alabama, Atlant, or Florida though and the base is big providing a lot of opportunities. Bragg isnt bad but there really isnt too much to do around it and Fayetville, though improving a little bit, still kind of sucks. Ft McCoy is in Wisconsin and that is where I did a lot of my training as a Guardsman. Its ok size but only because its a deployment center for the Army and since most people there are guard it wont help you. Wisconsin gets cold anyway but have really nice spring/summer weather. Ft Lewis is probably one of my favorite. I was originally born in Washington. You have Mt Rainier, Mr Adams, Mt St Helens, Seattle, Vancouver, Portland, the Pacific Ocean and seven different climate zones ranging from temperate rainforest to prairies. Schofield barracks wasnt bad but its pricey I hear. Honolulu has the best night life I have ever experienced and is a great city if you dont mind the people. Being on an island kind of sucks though. Colorado I have heard amazing things about also. I am actually hoping to go there if I get into the SF branch. My wifes uncle was an Intel Officer there and still lives there. There is Eglin Air Force Base in Florida but that is mainly for the Ranger Training Brigade and an SF group. They do need support personnel for the SF group though. Germany and Italy also are good choices I hear. As for Sill and Hood I dont rank them too high since they are in the plains and its kind of boring. Hope this helps somewhat. I think where ever you go you will enjoy yourself and there will be something to do.
 
Ft. Carson, CO is awesome. There is lots to do in the city of Colorado Springs. Great weather as well.

Ft. Campbell, KY is alright. Not very much going on in the town. Weather can get crappy.

Didn't care at all for Hunter Army Airfield, Savannah, GA. To hot and humid. The city wasn't to bad though.

While at AIT you can try to call your branch manager to get an assignment or try to swap with someone.
