So many places to go so little time

I will start it off.

Fort Irwin http://www.irwin.army.mil/channels
I have been stationed there twice last left in 06. The post is small. Not much to do on post itself. Hopefully if you go there you have a good car. If you get stationed there you want to get housing. If you have kids they have a elem. and a middle school on post. High schoolers has to ride the bus/drive to town. Not that the housing was great but they were building alot when I left plus they had alot of new houses up already. The post is like 40 miles to town. Barstow isn't much either. Barstow has a Walmart and a couple of bars and a couple of resturants and a drive in movie. The one good thing about the post if you like riding dirt bikes or dune buggies you are surrounded by lots of desert to get out and have fun. You are almost in the middle of San Diego and Las Vegas, about 3 hours from either. Tons of stuff within an hour to hour and a half drive. Victorville/Hesperia has a mall and shopping.
