Honestly, the post has improved since the olden days. There is a fair number of relatively new structures, there's a decent commissary & PX, and the town by the gate offers most amenities you need.<br><br>Be advised, the town hugs the military reservation border and disappears into the interstate within a 15 minute drive. It's not large and if you need specialty stores or a place to party, you will be driving for a distance.Response by 1LT Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 22 at 2014 6:19 PM2014-01-22T18:19:35-05:002014-01-22T18:19:35-05:00CPT Private RallyPoint Member42361<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Cold, small, built around a truck stop.Response by CPT Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 22 at 2014 6:51 PM2014-01-22T18:51:04-05:002014-01-22T18:51:04-05:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member42432<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>is sucked, I went there for BCT back in 1997Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 22 at 2014 8:14 PM2014-01-22T20:14:46-05:002014-01-22T20:14:46-05:002014-01-22T16:31:43-05:00
