Re: Veterans What was your best assignment/duty?

The place i enjoyed the most (ironically) for me was Afghanistan. I had been itching to go to war since i was about 15 years old. That's all i wanted to do. In fact, i was disappointed when my recruiter told me it would be 6 months before i could get into a combat zone. Turns out, i wouldn't be boots-on-the-ground for three more years. When i got my chance, i enjoyed every bit of it. From the time we dropped into Helmand Province in the middle of the night, until i got out of the hell hole 6 months later on a C-130. I went all over that country and met lots of interesting people. Some of them were the enemy and were greeted with cordial incoming fire, but, hey, everybody gets a fair welcoming.

My least favorite has to be Camp Johnson in Jacksonville, NC. I was stationed at Camp Lejeune for most of my time and was very, very dissapointed when i got my orders there. Eventually, i got over it and ended up liking the base and area. Heck, every once in a while, i miss it.
