I can’t speak on the position but you are close to various vacation spots. Get out on the weekends and explore. You have Destine Florida, New Orleans, Tupelo (Home of Elvis Presley), Alabama and numerous other places you can visit. Ocean Springs is beautiful too. Enjoy your tour.

It’s a pretty austere place to be stationed, considering you’re CONUS. No on post housing, the closest town is Hattiesburg about 15 minutes north. Limited services on post, although Keesler Air Force Base about 45 miles south has an MTF and commissary. It’s a National Guard post so it’s pretty empty during the week and overcrowded on weekends and summertime
