Step 1: in process
Step 2: air assault school
Step 3: run 15 miles a week
Step 4: ruck 15 miles a week
Step 5: (applies if you in Strike only) screw with Rakkasans
Step 6: (applies only if in Rakkasans) screw with strike
Step 7: screech at top of lungs when entering base
Step 8: argue with 82nd individuals about how airborne is out dated and air assault is modern and practical

Aside from Carson, Campbell has one of the best towns outside the post (Clarksville...not Oak Grove). But unlike Carson, the unit is actually good and Soldiers have the most pride I've ever seen, though the BDE rivalries are insane - they will unite to protect Old Abe from some All American dirt dart. Great location - halfway between Chicago and Atlanta, Nashville is amazing (Military Monday Predators tix!!)
Expect to run, expect to ruck - not just on Thurs, but to and from ranges as well. You need to know your job, going through the motions is not tolerated.

I can't answer much about how your daily work life is going to be at a Campbell, as I lived at Campbell as an dependent, and have only been stationed at fort Drum while on AD, but as far as life outside of training there is a lot to participate in the local community ( Clarksville, TN) there is a lot of trails in the city ( the greenway) Nashville, TN is only a 45 minute drive, with lots to do, from NHL games, NFL games, tones of great food, live music, top golf, escape rooms, Nashville is just great, Land between the Lakes is about an hour and a half away which is has some of the best hunting and outdoors opportunities that TN has to offer, in Clarksville, there's a local university ( Austin Peay state university) with D! athletics, they have a really good football and basketball team. stay away from Cat west and the Pink Lady, if your looking for Good strip clubs just go to Nashville, in Clarksville there is like 3 Walmarts, the mall isn't too bad, there's a lot of food options, the main strips are Wilma Rudolph BLVD, Fort Campbell BLVD ( aka 41A) and Tiny Town road. some people will say there isn't much to do, but if you are actively looking for something to do then I promise you'll find something, almost forgot at Campbell you will 100% get the opportunity to attend Air Assault school.

Definitely want to add "don't speed" near base. The local police are well aware how "Joe" is excited about getting off of work. 41A is known as "41 ambush". You WILL get pulled over if you don't heed the speed limit. Guaranteed.
