I am making the move to Watertown, NY to join 10th Mountain in January. I'll be unaccompanied (family can't come with due to state laws concerning joint custody), and I'll be looking to live cheaply but safely. Any recommendations for places to check out? Please be specific.

I currently live here (until January) and the best place to stay is in Carthage, NY (very nice, safe, small town). You can also check Evans Mills, Felts Mills, Calcium and any where north-east of Watertown.

SGM Matthew Quick I stayed in Champion Apartments in 1997 for three months Jan-March. It was peaceful and I loved the back way to Rome, NY to the Airfield. Beautiful, I remember there was a ski resort out that way.

SGM Matthew Quick,

You beat me to it Sergeant Major. I lived in Carthage before I PCS'd to Fort Carson and I loved it. Especially the part about being walking distance from the American Legion.

I can't believe I am saying this, but try to get on post. The last thing you want are $600 monthly utility bills when the temp gets -50* and you drive 3 hours to get to work thru 18" of fresh 'lake effect' snow. I had soldiers that wrecked one car a year trying to drive in from Govenour every year. (This intel is 20 years old).
