Where is a good place to get stationed in the Army?
367301
IF you ask 20 soldiers where their favorite duty station is you will probably get 20 diffrent answers. But if you are just trying to finish college, the answer is pretty much anywhere, there are education centers on most every installation with standard schools such as Central Texas, Oklahoma state and lots of online options, Best advice if you havent all ready signed up is to get your recruiter to take you to a installation somewhere and go talk to a counselor about the degree you want and see where those programs are offered. There are lots of rumors floating that the Army is going to a longer on station time something like 5 years or so, something about life cycle managment, currently I have not been stationed anywhere longer than 4 years. I gave some links that looked good in refrence to Army ed. programs. I did a evaluation on my military training and received over 50 credit hours, so that can help as well.

There's room for anyone in good shape.  I was in recently but was medically discharged before I could go to Iraq unfortunately.\n\nFirst of all, when you talk to the recruiter, ask him about something called the "trail blazer" during basic training.  They change the name occasionally.  It basically involves being able to max out the AIT PT test at day 1.  You want to do that.\n\nSince you're married, you'll probably want to get a non-combat MOS.  (Although I took a combat MOS because I'm married) Try for something along the lines of supply clerk, mechanic, or something of the like.  Don't worry if you aren't trained, they'll teach you everything.  Mortician is a messy and unpleasant job, but if you can handle, it usually has a great signing bonus.  DO NOT GO 88M!  Those are truck drivers.  They have the highest mortality rate in Iraq and they need everyone they can get.  It sound good and easy, but it's not cool.\n\nSigning bonuses are paid after AIT, as much as 6 months later depending on the MOS.  Married people should stay away from counter intelligence since that could keep you away 10 months out of the year, but it's my number one suggestion for single people.\n\nJust so you know, Basic Training is all about messing with your mind.  When you get on base, just turn your personality off for about 3 or 4 months.\n\nInjuries in the Army.  The Army is mean on this one.  If you get injured during anytime you get handed your orders and taken to the airport and the end of AIT, THEY WILL TRY to pass it off as a prior injury, no matter how stupid.  I saw guys getting general discharge on collapsed arches.  Not a pleasant thing, but I did see an honorable on a hernia.\n\nWell, the first few months are hell, after that, it's sweet.  It's good job, you're taken care of, and if you learn well, you have plenty of potential.  If you go to Iraq, you can still get free college there.  And you should take every opportunity for college credits possible.  A degree means eligibility for officer training and a good position in the army.\n\nAnd finally, make sure you fill out the paper work correctly.  Take your time, especially when calculating income.  Being married, I made more than the lieutenant as a PVT.\n\nIt's a good life, but it is the Army and the Army is about war.  For some reason a bunch of kids these days forget that when they sign the papers.  They think about travel and college and easy money and forget that it's about fighting.\n\nWell, I encourage it and wish you luck.

British Army is a good choice but it's tough so you need to be sure you can hack it. On the plus side it recruits from all over the world i.e. Nepal and The Caribbean to name two.\nYes I imagine you would get citizenship after your service too as most the over seas soldiers do. As for equipment we don't have nearly the amount the Americans spend on their military but we make up for that in training, versatility and toughness. \nThe British Army is the best trained and motivated army in the world!

You can go through any recruiter.  A Meps site is where they start to in-process you and you usually go to the closest one to your home.

Yes, and by many means. Just make sure you do so BEFORE they are scheduled to deploy anywhere, or it will be a lot harder. The easiest way is to simply stop going to drills. yes you can get all sorts of hell for it it, but recruitment and retention in guard is SO low right now, they try NOT to give you a discharge that would prevent you from getting back in at a future point. The easiest way beside that, and perhaps the safest, is get an address at least 50 miles from your unit, were they dont have a unit availible with your MOS. The guard must offer to give you another job, but if its not your MOS, it, you can legallly refuse and its a discharge.If you havent done basic yet, or your schooling, when you go to meps, just tell them you have ashma and your recruiter told you to lie about it. They will instantly belive you and discharge you on the spot.

I wouldn't recommend it.  The housing at Schoefield Barracks is pretty bad, even by Army standards.  Plus, everything is incredibly more expensive in Hawaii and military income doesn't change by location, so your money has to stretch further.  Plus, Hawaii is fun for a couple months and then just gets boring.  Nice place for a vacation but I wouldn't live there.

It depends if you enjoy where you are. If you choose to stay (extend) you may even be paid more not to leave. It saves the Army money if you stay. I stayed in Schweinfurt, Germany from 1986-1995 and have been in the California Bay Area from 1995 to Present. I have moved one time in over 20 years. There is no real answer, but the Army (except hardship tours) prefer stability. 3 years overseas and 5 years Stateside (Alaska and Hawaii are overseas assignments).\n\nAs far as signing up for the Army, I chose the Army because no other branch allowed me to choose my job BEFORE I enlisted. 21 years later, it is the same.

It depends on how much time you like to spend out in the field. If you do,any Infantry or Law Enforcement MOS. Myrtle Beach is a great place to be in the miltary, especially the Army because it's mostly Marines & sailors that go there. All the women are tired of being hit on by them, so you'll have an advantage.

I was stationed at Ft. Knox for Basic Training in 1975, and again for a year in 1976-77.  Ft. Knox itself is a beautiful post with a lot of modern ammenities.  \n\nOutside the main gate is the town of Radcliffe, KY, a typical GI town with one BIG exception; it's in a dry county - no alcohol!  However, Ft. Knox has one of the best NCO clubs I'd seen in the 12 years I was in the Army.\n\nDrinking aside, this is a very pretty part of Kentucky.  It's about 30 miles from Louisville, which is, of course, a major city.  To the south of Ft. Knox, about 12 miles or so is Elizabethtown, KY where you can get some of the best food from some of the best restaurants in the state.\n\nIt does get cold there; I took basic in January, and believe me, it can get cold.  But, I'm originally from the midwest - Kentucky is a lot more moderate than CLeveland, Chicago or NY winters.  \n\nAll in all, its a pretty nice, quiant southern yet cosmopolitan area.  Ireland Irmy Hospital is there, and is one of the best hospitals in the Army.  There are plenty of bowling alleys and theaters on post, so there's plenty to do.  And one of the best things to do is to go visit the Patton Museum on post.  It's really interesting.\n\nEnjoy your stay there - I wish I were going back for awhile!  The Las Vegas desert gets old at times!  Y'all have fun, ya'hear?\n\nPS: Tell your Husband for the rest of us "Thank you!"

You haven't given much information. Do you mean the military hospital in Fort Knox? It's called the Ireland Army Community Hospital. Its web site is:\nhttp://www.iach.knox.amedd.army.mil/\nJob openings are listed at:\nhttp://www.iach.knox.amedd.army.mil/Careers.htm
