Nothing better to do!
What has been your favorite (or least favorite) base to be stationed at? Why? ......aaand GO!
Re: Nothing better to do!
67/200
Favorite- where we are now. I love it.
Least- Vance. We weren't there long enough to get Integrated into the community. And it was oppressively hot there. I hated it.
I can't really answer this because we've been so lucky! We were in San Diego at Miramar, then Monterey, then China (which doesn't have a base), and now back in San Diego at Pendleton. This isn't considering the time we spent in Quantico area due to TBS. Even that area I liked a lot.
I definitely love San Diego, though. It has everything you could want... the ocean... pretty hills, very scenic.... great shopping & restaurants, a nice downtown area... and best of all, an affordable pilates studio!! When I have to move & leave my pilates studio I will be so sad... ha
Kadena (Okinawa) was definitely my favorite. There was always so much to see do even though the island was small. We took the ferries out to a bunch of the surrounding islands, flew to Tokyo twice, and climbed Mt Fuji. I miss the good food and friendly locals.
My least favorite is my current base. I'm a positive person for the most part, but I can't make myself like this place as hard as I try. In addition to being in the middle of nowhere, I have had horrible experiences with work and people in general here.
Favorite- Fort Stewart, GA. I loved being so close to Savannah, other fun places and since I'm from the south I felt more at home.
Least- Fort Bliss, TX. I hated the desert, I missed greenery and animals. Most of the drivers were terrible and it was just hot and blah.

Favorite - Vandenberg AFB, CA We absolutely loved the area and the weather year round. I miss it!
I really like Malmstrom too though, which is where we are now. We have been pretty lucky we have gotten places we like so far.
The most beautiful place on earth to me: Glacier NP

I've actually loved everywhere we've been. H did recruiting in Syracuse, which was very close to home.
Then we were in Everett, WA. I cried when we first got orders there since it was so far from my family, but I ended up absolutely loving it there. I miss Seattle.
Now we are in Norfolk/VB area. We heard mixed things about how we would like it, but so far I'm loving it. I love our house and the area we bought in, and I love that I'm much closer to family again.
Fav: CP by far. Living off base and only having to go there if I needed to.
Least Fav: Here. I really like the locals and the culture. I absolutely love living overseas. What I dislike won't be put online. :-p
Currently loving Hawaii. I don't see that changing.
I really disliked Offutt. I'm not a midwest girl. I also didn't really care for Kunsan, but that was short lived and not meant for families anyway, so I could just tolerate it and enjoy the moments of fun living overseas.
I liked Moody AFB in Georgia because it was close enough to big cities to go visit and have fun and the cost of living was decent--- lots of jobs around the area.
I LOATHE where we are now--- Guam. Hot, humid, tiny, boring.... no jobs.... etc.
