Heading to first duty station. Any advice, especially for the 82nd Airborne Division and Fort Bragg as a whole?

So I’ve been in the Army for about a year now and after trying my luck at some extra school I’m finally going to go to my first Duty station. I know a year and I’m just getting to my first unit. Is there any advice that a private should have when arriving to his first assignment?

Unit -- learn from the squared away guys
Division -- storied history; appreciate it
Bragg -- nice post; a car helps
Fatetteville -- less time at strip joints, more time enjoying beach, mountains, and that sort of thing.

You will have the experience of a life time. Are you airborne yet? If not, hopefully they will send you quickly. Fort Bragg (during my time) was a different Army totally. I left Germany after a 3 1/2 year tour. No relaxation, high speed and low drag. Nevertheless, get a car since the post is very large and go to as many schools as you possibly can. To include college. Don’t be a barracks rat and enjoy your time there. Airborne! I was there last week and amazed how new and the continuous ongoing construction. Good luck!
