If you live on the West Side it's not bad actually. Just stay away from the East Side if you end up going there. Just makes it a bit of a commute to get on Post.

Germany is ideal. I’ve always wanted to go when I heard it was an option in the army. But they said it was likely an extra year. That’s a little disheartening when I was hoping to start residency soon as I’m in my 30s

Unless it's going to be a career hit for you in some fashion, it will be more than worth it. As others mentioned, the chance to travel all over Europe is worth it alone. I visited Spain, Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Poland, Croatia, Switzerland, Austria, and Czechia (Czech Republic). If they're still doing it, you get a four day weekend every month. If there's no holiday that month, USAREUR just picks a weekend to make a four day.


Not to mention you have the chance to bang German chicks.
