Can someone sum up a tour at Fort Riley? | RallyPoint

I'm on order to Fort Riley and I need to know what to expect. I haven't heard anything good or bad about the post so I'm really interested in any opinions

It's Kansas - it gets extremely hot and humid in the summer and can get bitterly cold in the winter and snow. Although I've heard the last few years there hasn't been much snow in that area (Kansas, Nebraska, etc).

There's places to go fishing. Hunting. Omaha and Kansas City are a few hours away.

Oh and the wind is insane.

Not to bad lots of late work calls for team building/ personal matters. High tempo work cycle but not that crazy. Outside of work there are a few activities local but but you’ll be traveling 1-2 hrs for some things.

Really hot and humid in the summer, cold and windy in the winter, great hunting, fishing, and boating in the area. A few good clubs in the area. MWR does all it can to support soldiers and families with trips to sporting events and shopping trips. If you get a car, have it checked over by a good mechanic before buying: too many hoopties in the area. Oh, and during winter they salt/spray deicer the roads, so don't buy a newer car, lest you have winter storage.

ITS TRASH! Nothing to do. Toxic ass leadership especially with NCO’s. If your going to 2 brigade you definitely going on rotation to Poland. Good luck. Poland isn’t bad thought it’s really cheap.
