any Army members in here?
I'm enlisted into the army and I've got a few questions for anyone with a little bit of experience. My mos will be 42R (bandmember). i play the flute.
anyways, i got offered these as my assignments and was wondering if i can get a bit of info to help me make my choice.
Ft. Campbell
101st airborne division band
hopkinsville, ky
2nd infantry division band
uijongbu, south korea
8th army band
seoul, south korea
Ft. Rucker
98th army band
dothan, al
Ft. Sill
77 army band
lawton, ok
I've been told the performance schedules for the band and ensembles are pretty much the same. the only thing i've got to worry about is where i'd like to live.
I hear OK is really hot during the summer. So i'm kinda leaning away from it.
I have no clue about Korea, but i wouldn't consider it off my list just yet. I'm really hoping for Japan, and i'm talking to my band liason now hoping that I can somehow squeeze in but i'm not holding my breath on that.
Then there's Alabama. But I've been told a lot of officers are on this base and they let that get to their head.
I think out of all these though, kentucky is the front runner. i dont know why, but it just seems like it would be okay.
I have no idea about how life on base would be so i'd appreciate any help at all. i'm turning 28 and single so i guess that would come into play also. how the nightlife? am i going to be bored out of my mind at these places?
TIA,
alan
