Favorite- Yokota. Loved the area and it was close to Yokosuka Naval Base.

Least favorite- I guess Barksdale cause it’s home and I already knew the area.

Favorite- Darmstadt, Germany. Great beer, central to Europe. What's not to love?

Least- Camp Casey, Korea. Hot as hell in summer, cold as shite in the winter. Lots of time in the field, epic binge drinking. I still liked it. I liked all my duty stations but something has to be last.

Not counting deployments, those all sucked.

I’ve enjoyed all of them except Altus

Kessler was meh but I was only there for six months of school

Lots of people who are there operational love it

But the rest have been great

Ramstein, Alconbury, Hurbie and I’ve been at Bragg/Pope for a few months

DLI was amazing. Monterrey is amazing. The weather, the scenery, the women, all amazing.

Polk was fricking awful. I would rather be in Iraq. At least they had a decent butcher in rose pine...

Haven't we already talked before? My son was born there. I would do anything for jerk pork & chicken. I have tried for years to make it but it never tastes the same.

Best Jamaican Jerk chicken and pork I ever had! It's been over 20 years since I was there, and I still miss that food.

What the hell are those piles of red rocks, north of Altus? They seem out of place. Do they have a name?

Favorite...North Island NAS. San Diego is the closest thing to paradise in the US


When were you there? I was there 66-68. I has an apartment in Imperial Beach right on the beach for a year. It was like a vacation. From there I went NAS Cubi Pt. in the Philippines. Basically a jungle hell hole.
