Alright, areas to stay away from around Ft Gordon? Anyone hear anything terrible about Meadowbrook Drive directly east of Gate 5? It's not Grovetown where everyone and their mother is telling me to live but for what I want to pay, it's actually a standalone house with a garage and it's not a quadplex. Also, the rest of the houses in the area don't look terrible/ghetto at all.

I know someone here recommended me a property manager in private message but their reviews were a nightmare and I just left a nightmare landlord. Anyone dealt with Auben?

I couldn't tell you anything about the neighborhood, but from what I remember the area around Tobacco Road is quieter than the rest of Augusta. Just stay away from the area around the mall and Washington Road. It's infested with AIT kids on the weekends and turns into a loving zoo when the Masters comes around. Downtown Augusta is pretty lovely east of the train tracks but the west side has a few decent restaurants/bars and stays pretty quiet.

I was the one who sent you a pm with my last land lady's info. I had seen those negative reviews before and no idea wtf they are about. She was really good to us.

If you'd rather not live in grovetown, I'd head out gate 1 to Martinez or Evans. I lived in Evans for about a year and it was pretty good except the drive could take an hour some days if you left at the same time as the rest of the post. I'd avoid living outside of gate 5 if you can help it. Every time there was a budget shortage they would severely cut hours on that gate and force everyone who lived out that way to come in gate 1 in the morning, which created massive congestive. Also a lot of places out there are pretty sketchy.

Btw, whatever you do don't rent any places from some dude named Pomerance. Talk about lovely landlords.

Car wash hill is only like a 4 mile round trip, dude. So unless they're running it every day, I wouldn't exactly call it body breaking.

Yeah I'm seeing that gate 5 area has heavy gang activity. In fact, when you google gang activity in Augusta, the first hit is a shooting like 3 houses down from the place I was looking at. I guess I will stick to Grovetown but drat, applying and rushing to cut a check is loving stressful when you're competing with 10 other military for the same place.

The funny thing is that although those types of runs hurt like hell if you're not prepared for them they're less bad for your body (specifically your feet and legs) than those retarded slow formation shuffles that Army units just love to do because they look motto and pretty and poo poo.

Demolition Road at FLW is pretty brutal. 5.5 miles round trip, but the back leg is up like 45 degree incline. And in the summer time there's tons of green bottle flies biting you the entire time. Don't miss doing that poo poo at all.

I didnt mind hills too much (except doing sprints up and down that one hill that looks like a ramp in Bragg's housing area. Ste. Mere Eglise I think? I remember it being something retarded like somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2 a mile with a flat section for train tracks. gently caress that hill and my old squad leader for making that happen my first run day in the 82d after a month of loving leave.) But gently caress those shuffle runs. Anything larger than company and you get that stupid slinky thing going because some turd nugget cant keep a 10 min/mile pace.

Goat trail rules. Going up the switchbacks is a slow burn, goat trail is just the whole hill in one shot. I miss off post PT in Vicenza, running down Dixie Rd on Benning just isn't the same, somehow...

Yeah, PT in the 82nd isn't much better, however, I definitely don't miss the smell of running around Vicenza.

So we had an E-5 get caught forging his soldier's signature on counseling statements. This was a week ago and I don't think he will be punished. The other NCOs in my platoon are just as toxic. I ETS in a few months and don't care at all about the Army.

What can I do to gently caress over this platoon before I leave?

What is anonymous IG complaint for $200, Alex. If you're worried about getting your ETS hosed with you could, I don't know, get the retard whose signature was being forged to do it instead?

don't rock the boat too much because if there's one class of people toxic leaders like loving with the most, it's people who are about to ETS

gently caress them got yours ETS quietly and let the other poor schmup joes deal with it
