<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>CPT Guzman, I'm AGR and I don't PCS as frequent as the AC, but I have moved 5 times since 1999. I cannot say that any of my assignments were bad, because I think the individual determines whether the assignment is going to be good or bad. Now that is not to say you want run into some bad individuals.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>ehh I have PCS'd like 5-7 times if you include on post transfers. I have always like Ft. Sill. Now, having said that, I could surely go without living in Lawton, but I do like the installation. Especially with ADA having moved here. I'm not all giddy about them having moved here, but it is nice to have the GOV'T finally giving the installation some spending money to improve the place trying to make them happy. I also liked Ft. Riley, mostly because I was 2 hrs from KC, where I grew up and all my family lives there. Korea was a good experience. I saw a lot of the country playing on the Area 1 (South) softball team and playing in racquetball championships. But the babysitting aspect of being there and being restricted due to others actions really got old, fast. Germany was pretty, good for travel.<br>

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I moved 5 times during my career, best by far was my first assignment (Vicenza, Italy 1st BN 509th INF). No bad assignments each was different in it's own way, challenging. which is why I kept reenlisting. The army offered me many unique opportunities to travel and excel in my career field.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have a total of five PCS moves under my belt. My worst assignment would be Fort Huachuca AZ. This is not to say it was a terrible assignment. At that point there was just nothing to the place. Ft Huachuca itself was pretty run down. Sierra Vista was all but nonexistent. My best would be Okinawa which edged out Mannheim Germany by a hair. There is just something to be said for being assigned to one of the top dive destinations in the world.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>This is my third PCS move (two in Germany) and my recent to Hawaii. My only complaint is due to my MOS being overstrengthed. Big Army is reducing 12T MTOEs by half starting FY15. On a side note paradise is expensive, lol.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I've been on active duty for 20-years and grew up in an Army household. I am surprised by the distinction between my own career and my father's. Before I joined the Army, my father's career took the family to eight different locations in 18 years. My own career has moved me 15 times due to a number of dependent-restricted and combat tours (11 total duty stations). My daughter's 11-year old life is framed by four military moves.<br /><br />I can't think of a worst assignment but the worst move was one with an absolutely incompetent packing crew. They broke nearly every piece of furniture I owned. The claim processing took nearly a year to resolve and was of course depreciated. I even had to file an amendment to the claim settlement because so many similar items were damaged (i.e., bookcases) the adjuster thought the entries were inadvertant duplicates! Fortunately I had photos to accompany the damage claim along with the inventory control sheets and this was one of the first on-line "test" cases (maybe that wasn't fortunate though) for the claim processing.<br /><br />There have been many "best" aspects of so many assignments. I have been fortunate to be surrounded by excellent NCOs, Soldiers, and officers my entire career.<br /><br />Thank you to my brothers and sisters in arms!
