Hi,
We are heading to Ft. Hood in a few months and I'm just wondering if anyone else is heading that way soon and if so when?
I'm hoping to stay in touch with people that are going there soon so I can get advice/info.
Thanks 

We are heading to fort hood in about 2.5 weeks! Nervous but excited to get out of kansas 

Right there with you. I was actually really excited at first but now I'm really dreading it cause it seems like bugs/exotic animals are around very often and I'm really scared of bugs and snakes.

We are heading there in Oct/Nov 

I was told that cockroaches are really bad that is what i am scared of or ending up in the wrong area by accident and then something bad happening
Other than that, I am excited to be around some great shopping, entertainment and water! First time see the ocean/gulf 

I promise its not so bad. Fort Hood felt like home to us and still does. We really miss it. There is a ton to do not far away. The cockroaches are bad but you get use to them. We were stationed in Kansas and I can tell you that Hood was a step up. I honestly miss it there so much. I never saw a snake the whole 5 years we were there either. Even in the bad areas as long as you arnt getting out of your car you will be fine. Just beware of your surroundings like you would be anywhere else :D Welcome to Hood 

Thanks for the info.

Can you tell me where the bad areas are? 

We just found out we are heading there from Lewis in a few months too! 

Good Luck JustcallmeSuz.

We should travel together since we are heading there at the same time lol from the same place. That's funny 

I take it those I you headed to Hood have already made it? How is it? Can you give me a little feedback? I'll be headed there from Riley in Dec

Thx,
Toni 

Blahblahblah We went from Hood to Riley. We loved Hood soooo much better and would go back in a heartbeat. There was a lot more to do. I didnt have to stand over people at Hood for months to get things done. We really loved Hood once we left. At the time we were there we use to say we hated it... then we hit Riley... realized how much better we liked it there...lol.
