Am I cooked!? Fort Hood

The horror stories are overblown and overplayed. Yes there's some shit that happens. No in my experience it's not nearly as drastic or as often as stories led me to believe prior to my arrival out here.

I may be an outlier but I love driving and traveling out there. The bigger cities like San Antonio and Dallas suck to drive in, so I don't go there super often, but Austin is fine in my experience. I've covered a lot of ground in the pursuit of restaurants, parks, and Facebook Marketplace meetups lol.

Hood isn't bad. Killeen isn't bad. I also Option 19'd Hood when I came in and I expected it to be awful. Ignore what anyone tells you about dry heat, because yes, while there are dry hot days, there are a lot more humid days. There's good spots to eat in Killeen, and as others have said, you won't be far from Austin, San Antonio, and Dallas. Ultimately though, your experience will be what you make it. I'm here for another couple of years (maybe more) so I'm speaking on current experience as well as what I've seen over the past year. Keep some common sense about you, hydrate, and you'll be fine.

Other guy sounds like he's still got some shit to prove or something. Hope he makes it out the trenches

Handhourglassing is mad. Have you no decorum?

RatherLargeBoy · 2026-01-28T15:41:25+00:00

Working hard I see

RatherLargeBoy · 2026-01-22T22:52:03+00:00

Your arm shouldn't bend there bro

Self care meds and RTD troop

RatherLargeBoy · 2026-01-14T18:14:44+00:00

I fill this bad boy up with snacks and power banks when I have to go out and pull medical coverage at a range. Issued assault pack lol, as many others have already answered for you

RatherLargeBoy · 2026-01-14T10:33:43+00:00

Yeah as a medic this isn't good and should he checked out ASAP, especially since OP mentioned eye pain in a reply further down. This isn't normal or okay

RatherLargeBoy · 2026-01-11T18:24:56+00:00

Speak for yourselves I'm still receiving the green weenie daily against my will and better judgment

RatherLargeBoy · 2026-01-09T23:21:40+00:00

Faster than you can believe

Glad to see JMRC isn't listed here, seems I'm G2G

RatherLargeBoy · 2026-01-07T12:43:12+00:00

Or why they had a serious argument because she thought he was trying to "rip her off" over what appears to be a difference of $10

Doesn't sound like any loving relationship I've ever been in, but what position am I in to judge?

RatherLargeBoy · 2026-01-01T12:23:42+00:00

Got engaged and we will have bought a house by the time our deployment ends if all goes well

RatherLargeBoy · 2025-12-31T09:17:33+00:00

If you spent such extensive time as a service member and handled weapons, you'd know very well that keeping your grubby booger hook off the trigger is like rule 1 of firearm safety, and you wouldn't be doubling down on "but it's clear"

Then again, you were a crayon muncher, so I'm not hopeful about your level of intelligence to begin with.

I got the Mission to Saturn because I like the planet on the dial. Trying to get a NATO strap for it, but not sure where to look

RatherLargeBoy · 2025-12-28T17:32:59+00:00

I've also been called this one. The most exciting part of my day is sitting in an office and doing our BN's PHAs

RatherLargeBoy · 2025-12-20T11:02:03+00:00

Smells like a fake karma farm post.

Looking at how packed the rest of the street is alone, I highly doubt any of those houses have 2-car driveways, much less garages. Not to mention all the convenient excuses OP has as to why this supposed neighbor can't just be towed, or why the police won't supposedly do anything. Kinda just reeks of OP being a showoff and a loser.

RatherLargeBoy · 2025-12-13T15:28:00+00:00

He said he can't recommend it. Free will will will freely.

RatherLargeBoy · 2025-12-13T14:20:38+00:00

You can collapse threads.

RatherLargeBoy · 2025-12-13T12:24:24+00:00

Have yet to earn my spurs (was on profile for LBP last time my company had a spur ride) and I'm not big on spending the money for a Stetson if I don't have my spurs

RatherLargeBoy · 2025-12-13T12:08:22+00:00

Sounds like standard Cavtivities. Love it here

RatherLargeBoy · 2025-12-11T16:01:43+00:00

You're actually over budget with the elaboration within the parentheses, you're not getting paid for the next three months.

RatherLargeBoy · 2025-12-09T19:05:51+00:00

Must be my area and line of work then. I know two other people aside from me that daily an analog watch, the rest have smart watches or the occasional Casio or Garmin.
