I was just informed that I may be assigned to NATO 2ND SIG BN NAPLES, Italy. Can anyone provide info about family living etc?

Most Italians consider it the Arm Pit of Italy and although there are some areas that would support that sentiment, I found Naples to be a beautiful place. There are some extremely rough areas and you will need to pay attention to housing for guidance if living off post. Due to the housing situation being so rough here is the latest from Naples. I hope this helps:

DIRECT ASSIGNMENT IN EFFECT: Effective June 1, 2013, direct assignment to Military Family Housing (MFH) is in effect for all incoming active duty military personnel (E-1 to O-6) reporting to the Naples area accompanied by dependents. Members will be assigned to MFH immediately upon arrival if housing is available.
The housing unit assigned is based on rank and family composition. If MFH is declined, a member will not be entitled to receive Overseas Housing Allowance (OHA).
Pets: NSA Naples pet regulations state a maximum weight limit of 70 pounds per pet and a total of two pets. There are no exceptions to the direct assignment policy due to pets. Click here to view the NSA Naples pet instruction.

Been here close to a year now - think you'll enjoy it.

When I was there in 1997, the traffic was insane. The sidewalk was a passing lane. No, that's not a joke.
