Pros

Surrounded by smart intelligent people who work well together. Dynamic atmosphere, can entail a lot of TDY. Because of lots of BRAC activity, many bases closing and coming to APG. This means the addition of around 7000 new jobs. Communities in the area are very reasonably priced for housing etc. When BRAC is done in 2012, realtors expect the housing market to go up. Area is very beautiful, wilderness, but close to cities for all the things I miss. People very friendly. Weather is great, not too hot in the summer, and just a little snow in the winter.

Cons

Base infrastructure very run down. Going through BRAC and upgrades so should get better. They have planned many updates, and lots of new construction is going on. IT networks are older then expected. Cutting edge takes time to arrive here.

Great Benefits, Great Leaders, Much time away from Family

Pros

Serve Country. Great Benefits provided the government. These are especially good overseas. Medical Care for Soldiers families is virtually free, Housing Allowances, Cost of Overseas Living Allowance are tax-free benefits. The commissary (Army Grocery Store) stocks good old American products all over the world. Opportunities to live overseas are awesome and facilitiate traveling while off-duty.

Cons

Deployments away from families. Months away from families takes it toll on the Soldier and the family. Often months prior to a deployment Soldiers are away from families for weeks at a time which effectively makes a the deployment time longer. The big kicker is the months that the non-deployed spouse must be a single parent. Also, in most locations opportunities for well educated spouses are quite limited.
