What can I expect to experience at Fort Gordon, if I re-enlist there as a 35F?

I'm currently up for re-enlistment, and am extremely interested in utilizing my Option 5 for Ft. Gordon. As a 35F, I hope I'm more likely to get assigned to one of the MI BDEs there, versus one of the TRADOC BN S-2's. I've attempted to research the Units there, however, resources are scarce. What are some experiences you have had at Fort Gordon? What are the average unit policies? Also, I have my family and was looking to buy a house in the area, as I would expect the influx of Cyber Command, in the near future, to be beneficial to the market as time progresses. What are some good neighborhoods, etc?

When I was stationed at Gordon, there was an officer qualified to give the German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge, and every unit gets a number of slots to go for it every few months. Unsure if that's still an opportunity, as that was back in 2012-2015. He might have left without suitable replacement. Look into it. Also, Ft Gordon is in a very pretty part of Georgia, and the on-post golf course is fantastic.

That's pretty awesome, I'd take a shot at the GAF-B any day, SGT. I appreciate the information.

Lived in the CSRA (what the locals call the central savannah river area) for 4 years. I lived in SC in Aiken county. I loved the area. You would be better to live just across the River in South Carolina in Aiken which would make about a 20 minute commute. You could either drive down route 1 or interstate 20 to the outer belt (520) and be on post pretty quickly. Cost of living was cheap. Tons of housing developments and new neighborhoods in the area. I always thought the schools were better in South Carolina than Georgia besides Columbia county where Evans Martinez and other nicer neighborhoods are are way too overcrowded IMO.
I’d go back in a heartbeat but all my mobs are to non tradoc bases.

Fort Gordon isn’t bad. If you’re assigned to the 116th Mi bde you will actually do Mi stuff and the unit is fairly laidback
