Make some contacts before you PCS and get the scoop from the people in the unit. Good luck!

SPC Robinson, I was at Campbell from March 06 to Nov 09. I loved it there. If you're into outdoor stuff such as hunting, fishing you're going to like it. Nashville is 45-60 minutes east down I24. The lake is about 60-90 minutes west.

I had a chance to go back after this tour in Korea but I chose Ft. Carson, CO instead. Make sure that you're pretty fit physically so when you get there you can ask your SL/PSG about air assault school. They kinda frown on giving non-air assault qualified Soldiers a shot at the board or WLC until they attend and pass. Besides, it's a 10 day break from your unit and it gives you something to brag about.

I wish you the best of luck.
