<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Housing is pretty good. It&#39;s been built up something fierce since my day. With you being CBRN, you could possibly end up in the 11th ACR. If you do, be prepared to not have all of your weekends off. 11th ACR has the OPFOR mission and will be in the field every month and over weekends. If you end up in Garrison Command, you can very well expect all weekends. It&#39;s hot as Hell in the summer and very cold in the winter.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You will get one weekend off a month. Not really a great move.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>IRWIN, has its pros and cons. LA, VEAGS, DEIGO and so many other beautiful places to visit. It’s always on a scheduled rotation so you know when you’re going to the field and coming out. Soldiers tend to be a little closer to each other because it’s nothing there but each other. You do work a lot, but it’s somewhere you’ll miss when you leave because of the traveling not so much the duty station.
