Have to agree with Mike as well. Although I used post housing as much as possible, we made it a point to thoroughly explore the area surrounding us. We were moved so many times to so many different states and countries it really took some doing to get an in depth look before we were gone again, but we did get to know many different cultures and counted that as part of our pay. It made us feel a lot richer than so many we know, not in the military, who have never had a real adventure their entire lives. And my kids know what a third world country looks and smells like so they have a greater perspective on this great country they should safeguard so carefully.
