As a 92F this will be my 2nd duty station and I'm just looking for a few pointers about this area? Housing, shopping, etc?

LTC Paul Labrador Sir, that sounds like you are describing MCB 29 Palms.

Sgt (Join to see) - IIRC 29 Palms is only over the mountain range from NTC...so yeah, they pretty much are the same place... ;o)

SPC (Join to see) I've only been to it for NTC. And this is pretty much all there was when we were there. I hear stories of the OPH being nice. But Look at this map... it's forever away from anything. Bing Maps has a good image database.

The one thing I can tell you about Fort Irwin @SPC Latasha Feaster is that you can expect to get sand in some very uncomfortable places, seriously.

Mr. Staley! I was stationed here right out of Officer Basic in 2014. OPH is alright, a hell of a lot better than Fort Benning. PX/Commissary are very small. My only work related reference is from 11th ACR, we work a ton – usually in the field 10-14 days a month and usually only get 2 full weekends a month. Train the Force
