Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The Worst Place You Ever Lived?

Norfolk, Virginia. Spent a lot of my navy career there. Sucked. Hated that state. When I retired from active duty I left that very afternoon and don't intend to ever set foot there again.

Spent a year on Diego Garcia too. That runs a close 2nd.

FOB Gardez, Afghanistan trust me it was no FOB. I remember when we got Bagram airbase. We had too do mandatory briefs. One was finance and to get the eagle card because where we were going we would have eagle card machine and load money on it so we could use it said card at the PX. Our squadron hq was headed to paktia province to FOB Gardez. The finance goons at bagram said yep px there.. Well we finally get to Shangra la and their isn’t chit their. The cav sqdn we replaced out of Campbell blew that joint.. all the amenities they talked about in bagram were non existent lol. You want to talk about even chittier places COP Wilderness, COP Herrera, COP Zormat, COP Dysey.. lord I’m having flashbacks lol..

We were finding hand-grenades in our wall lockers, ammo cans full of 5.56 rds. Where we were at in Afghanistan was truly the wild ph ucking west.

Mexico

Ft. Benning in the summer

Bahrain. 7+ months TAD although technically TAD could only be for 6 months according to the travel manual. Admiral’s staff during Desert Storm.
It’s a dry heat right. No, it’s a damn island surrounded by water. In late summer, temps of ~125 and heat index over 150. If you were in the area you understand.

I’ve lived in a lot of places, geographically. Most of them I enjoyed for one thing or another. Worst places have been more about the immediate living conditions-

Middle Georgia with no AC.
Lived in my truck for a while when I moved to the PNW. Topper leaked like a SOB.
Rented a room from a filthy ho with a new born.
Lived in a homeless shelter for a couple weeks.

St. Lucie County jail back before ac and heat.

Lived my whole life within 30 miles., 2 counties, 4 homes.
The trailer park was the worst, but most interesting.


Spent years living in a truck, maybe that was the worst.
Not allowed to idle the truck for ac/heat.
Sleeping during daylight in New Orleans in the summer is a treat.
Nice and cool when you shut 'er down.
In about 10 minutes you can feel the engine heat coming up through the sleeper. (Cabover)
Winter wasn't bad. It's easy to carry the stuff to keep warm.

Colorado Springs. Lived there from April 2013 till Oct 2015. Both the wife and I hated it within a week of living there. When we sold our house and finished the closing I drove to the credit union to deposit the check in my RV then departed the state.

Odessa texas.

Stafford, VA followed by ASP Dulab, Iraq.

Lived????
Or was????

2 different things
"Lived" you had things like infrastructure.
"Was" just your ruck or assualt pack and wherever.

Too many "was" to even write down.

Homie been from panama to norway to korea and the middle east.
And places in between.
Homie spent alot of time sleeping on the ground on the planet in justabout every weather condition imaginable.


Now I got a bed in Clarksvegas Tn.
Homie happy not putting down tracks anymore...
And I aint ever getting on a jet ever again.

My grandfather moved to Flint from KY as a young kid but moved to the thumb and eventually Bay City as a young adult.

Norfolk VA project housing. Slept on a mattress on the floor next to a brick wall, shootings were a weekly if not daily occurrence.

Most interesting thing about Hinesville was all the dudes getting killed by speeding cars as they tried to cross over Oglethorpe Hwy from the Big Apple Strip Club to where they had parked their cars at the Huddle House across the street. For a while there it was like watching bowling for dollars

God rest their souls. Amen.
