Hope this topic has not be covered yet.

My best was Germany. Stationed in a place called Schwabisch Gmund. I was with a Pershing Missile unit and was there for 3 years. Met my wife there.

Ft. Bragg was the place I would like to forget. Was with a new Military Intelligence unit. I had come from a Field Artillery unit and could not adapt to the weak leadership and discipline, was lucky to be there for less then 2 years.

My favorite was Germany as well. I was at Heilbronn the first time. The second time I was at Darmstadt. It sucked. The town was great but my unit ....... not so much.

I was in, in the 60's, for two years. I never really adapted well to military life, but managed to get in and get out without serious trouble. Got my honorable.

I saw no danger, except risk of being burned in training walking around in burning jet fuel in my asbestos suit, but was left with a guilty feeling that I had somehow cheated, so many suffered so much and so many died, and I had an easy two years of it. It is hard to explain, I guess.

In my case, the worst duty was my less than a year at North Fort Lewis with the 6/32 Arty, as wireman. The best was a few miles south in Crash Rescue at Gray Air base.

I was at Bad Kissingen and Berchtesgaden in 1970-71. Loved it. Spent some time in Fürth, just outside Nürnberg, also. I guess my worst post was Ft. Lewis where I had boot camp.

Best was Schofield Barracks in Hawaii. Spent 3 years there. Was never stationed anywhere else except for training. Spent 2 - 4 month tours at Fort McClellan in Alabama (Basic training/MP school, and 7 years later MP Officers Basic Course), 5 weeks at Lackland AFB for Military Police Accident Investigation course, and 6 weeks at Ft Lewis for ROTC. Enjoyed them all.

My best I would say was Ramstein Germany(going back next year ) and my worst was Norfolk Va. I was in the Navy when stationed in Norfolk and it was sailors and dogs stay off the grass.

My worst was Williams AFB at Chandler, AZ. Got sent their on a technical assist from Norton AFB at San Berdoo. Couldn't even find a poker game at Williams...they just rolled the sidewalks up at 4:30...LOL. The rest of my duty stations were OK.
