I believe Ft. Carson, Colorado has Armored Cavalry there yet. Ft. Hood is definitely the largest but it can get pretty desolate there. Every Army post has its good points & bad points. Ft. Knox & Ft. Carson are probably the best & I believe that there's Armor in Ft. Lewis,Wash. another pretty place.

Find out what posts have Armor divisions or Cav. divisions.

Otherwise just wait until they assign you a post. Be surprised! :D

If they tell you that the hunting & fishing are great then that probably means that it's not too good of a place. ;) (unless you like to hunt & fish & are sure they'll give you the time to enjoy those endeavors.)

thanks msg glenn i enjoy hunting and fishing alot i live i n northeast ohio i like being outdoors so that will work trying for texas though but at this point things might not work out got my juvey record back and it says i was charged with 5 counts of b and e as a minor the lady at the police station says she thinks its a typo but i have to honor what the court says so with that and a hit and run and possesion that makes 7 misdemeanors so it is probably not going to happen which makes me very mad ive put alot of effort into this plus my family was really hoping that i am doing this especially my mom
