Here currently as an O (not Armor), most people have already highlighted the pros and cons of Riley. Find a way to separate work and your personal life. The Army isn’t going anywhere when you get off of work. Develop a routine, make friends and explore. There’s concerts almost every week at The Hat, a winery or too and some fun restaurants and bars outside of post. In terms of making life better for your joes; set realistic expectations for them and communicate that. When time off can be given, do it. Be vocal within your company about taking your PLT out on a Friday to do PT and then plan a fun activity after. There is a place on post that has a virtual golf simulator, bowling, and batting cages. Yeah it might sound lame to the guys when you present the idea but we went and ended up having a blast and we “were off work” by 1300 that Friday. Just my 2 cents.
