Just getting here to Fort Bliss, looking for any and all information possible.

Go to 'People' then search by unit. You'll find better resources from folks in your unit. All the same RP is a good resource for the RFI you are requesting. Good luck.

Don't go to Mexico.... ;o)

Can't talk much about 1AD, but Bliss is generally a very nice post nowadays. There are very nice facilities all over and the PX is hands down the pbest in the Army. Not sure what the wait for on-post housing looks like, but if you are going to live off post and be assigned to 1AD, east side and far east side are where I'd recommend to look.

I grew up in El Paso, spent two different tours at Bliss, one as an NCO and one as a Warrant Officer, both assignments were very positive. I enjoy the area and community very much. Weather is really dry and it can get really hot there too. Sunshine and 60's is common until Dec. Franklin Mountain chain is nice. Great sense of community and military partnerships. City has grown 800% since I was stationed there last in 2005 and again in 2010. 1AD on East Bliss has all the new facilities for the units. Historic Bliss has Freedom Crossing, which is a one stop shopping and entertainment areas that can cover most of your needs. There are two decent sized malls in the city and plenty of shopping centers and a decent sized outlet mall on the Westside of town. Two primary colleges are the University of Texas at El Paso and you have the community college too. There is decent sized water park and smaller sized amusement park too. Plenty of things for the kids to do, and if you don’t mind and want Sea World or Six Flags, you’re going to have to make the 8-10 hour drive to SA or Dallas. Places to live are in abundance and the housing market is pretty decent compared to many areas in the country. Plenty of schools to choose from. A lot of military stay in the northeast part of town traditionally but I think that has changed now because you can easily get to Bliss from all areas of the city with their revamped highway system that connects all parts of town and runs them into Bliss. Plenty of new off post developments all over the city. Housing on Bliss itself has been all updated within the last 5-10 years. I have stayed on and off Bliss and both experiences were pleasant. I hope this info helps.
