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

Aww, now...

Lovely place, and with nearby Leesville, what could anyone want better than that....

Not me, but a good bud working for Chevron said Nigeria was his worst. And from what he describes, glad it was him, not me.

Lots of worse ones here, but my two are Korea, and Casa Grande, AZ (arm pit of AZ).

If I'd of had money, could have made Casa Grande work (plenty to do in AZ). But working ASPC Florence for a job, and going through a parental child abduction, custody battle, and scraping every penny possible together for attorney's fees...well, it made for a miserable existence and nothing was left over for anything fun. Chitty duplex in Casa Grande in the summer without AC (conserving cash for lawyer), working at Central Unit in Florence in cell blocks older than my father, in the summer, with swamp coolers and showers running all day long, and eating prison food (also to conserve money) is about as unpleasant as it ever got for me.

At least in Korea I could keep myself somewhat entertained. But Pyongtek in the 80's, in barracks without AC, and on a private's pay wasn't a lot of fun.

On the flip side....best places? Arizona (several places, but Parks and Flagstaff were tops), and Germany. Man...had some fun in Germany, and just an awesome place to live and be able to experience Europe and the history (although hunting and fishing was put on hold those 3 years)!

Wow, really? Huh, I was there for I believe 3 days on R&R from Iraq - and what I saw was really cool.

Cibecue AZ?

Although a hike to the falls is pretty special.

I'll second that comment. Three year stationed at Nellis AFB, Las Vegas Nevada. Getting transferred to Osan Korea was a blessing. Thirteen month of party time.

I spent a year in Korea when I was in the USARMY and couldnt wait to leave it. My next duty station was FT Hood, TX and I quickly realized that it was an organized crime ring. Didnt realize how good Korea actually was, I was stationed in Seoul and not a whole lot of drama to deal with like FT Hood.

Portable elder buildings on platform drilling rigs in the gulf.

Guam in '78 and '79 was no better. Maybe it was just that [bleep] naval command.

Worked for me, but I was in a relationship with one and good friends with the other. Still am on both counts.

Tampa, FL for me. It's a cesspool of vanity and spoiled damnyankee trust fund brats; I escaped immediately after graduating high school. After that is either Tucson or Louisville. The only places I've lived that I genuinely liked are New Mexico and rural Missouri. If circumstances permit, I'd like to move back to Missouri eventually.

If anyone was in prison, there're not saying.

Janesville Wisconsin

Well, I have never lived "overseas" but I would have to say... Tampa Florida.... for that fact anywhere in the state of Florida... between the heat, bugs, Yankees, and Rednecks, I would be perfectly happy never stepping foot in that state again.

been in the county locked up with Aryan Brotherhood for two weeks wasn't that bad, aggravated assault chargers dropped.

I've lived in 14 different cities or town and have good memories in all.

Can't recall how many times I woulda run out of gas and maybe died who knows if it weren't for Sheffield. They could charge like $10/gallon.....

I was in the service for 6 years. Voluntary Imprisonment? Our camps in combat zones felt like prison. Only difference was you didn't want to escape.

Boot Camp was definitely like a 4 month sentence.

Some of my best troops were judicial referrals. Service or Jail. They chose Service.

Sounds like we used to hang in the same hood

port au prince, haiti. anywhere in virginia.

Bethel, Alaska. One weekend....
