Its flat and boring, unless you grew up there and have a sentimental value / family connection to the area, it wouldn't be in the middle, let alone on top, of many peoples wish lists. I'd take FLW, Bragg, lewis, drum, any in california, germany, hawaii, alaska, all over riley. |

He is really excited about it and can't wait to get there. He has always wanted to be a Colonel since a little boy. He loves the area and plans to retire there as well. I'm not sure what he is going to do with his season tickets. If he keeps them I may go halvies with him since he will be so far away to use them. |

at folks bagging on Riley, most of which I'm willing to bet have never been stationed there.
It's been said many times, but it's true: The worst post you've ever had is the one you're at and the best is the one you just left. |

I'm retired, so it's not relevant, but while I was in it was in the top ten stateside....in order
Wainright (though not considered CONUS....never made it there) Carson (tried it and hated it) Leavenworth (was never stationed there) Lewis (tried it and didn't care much for it) McClellan (closed now, but LOVED it) Meade (liked it there, was able to show the kids a lot of historical sites) Riley (retired near here) Sam Houston (not bad, but it's where careers go to die....can expound if you like) |

It's relevant because he's asking for input on where he should decide to go. Curious if you were from central kansas to begin with. The military has forced me to go many places I wouldn't choose to go, you just have to learn to make the most of where you're at. With a question like the OP, I gave the answers I gave. |

OK, to answer your question, not originally from central Kansas.
Why in the world would anyone have Leonard Wood or Drum on their wish list though? I'm just curious, though I've been to both, I've not done any prolonged time at either and have never heard much good from either one. I've heard many folks like Irwin as well, but the only times I was there were for NTC rotations so it isn't high on the duty stations I could recommend. |

I'm from mid Mo, and had many summers at the lake of the ozarks. while stationed at FLW we would pull weekend MP duty at mark twain, on the lake, a military resort, cabins-fishing-boat rentals, and close to my Dad's lake house = family etc. drum, is close to the great lakes and many upstate new york state parks. would be interesting to me. |
