I am currently on my 3rd deployment in six years and have seen many different FOBs, COPs, and Air Fields. Each of them has provide some great memories and some not so great memories. For me… the more austere the better. FOB Zangabad, 30 miles west of Kandahar Afghanistan was my favorite along with it's surrounding out posts. Which was your favorite and why?

Through all of my deployments and travels; it doesn't matter where; the MWR tent and the PX were my favorite locations.

Actually Iraq where while moving from Kuwait to Mosul with the 101, it was living out of my chinook for 39 days! If I had to choose a physical location, Kandahar January 2002!

Thanks for sharing Chief. I was working near Kandahar during that same time out to the west in the Horn of Panjuwei. The boardwalk at Kandahar was a nice treat whenever I was able to come in for a few days.

Diego Garcia. When I wasn't doing my Operations Watch Chief or Leading Petty Officer thing I was diving, fishing, swimming, drinking. What wasn't to love.

It is Isolated duty no spouses but if they would nobody would ever leave. I think there were 2 Army Logistics types on the Island and that was about it.
