Oh yes, if it wasnt for places off base, I would have died. We traveled all over when I lived there. Texas, Lake Charles, New Orleans, Lafayette, Baton Rouge, Alexandria, Biloxi (MS, my hubby's home)

We lived there for a little while. It was pretty bad. Yes, there is stuff to do if you travel to the Lake Charles area, but it's too far to live there. The one thing we did love was Vernon Lake. It stayed so hot down there that we went swimming in October.
It was also nice to be so isolated. It forced us to be friends with the other people in the unit because there was no one else to hang out with. We had fun, but that was probably because we drank a lot, lol.

I am going to Ft Polk in 2 months. Yes it is an awful base, but guess what? You don't have to stay on post. There is a world outside the perimeter. Yes, Leesville sucks, but if you go south, there are things. I was raised in Lacassine, LA(it's by Lake Charles). There is Lake Charles, and Lafayette for the clubs and city life, and it's about 40 minutes away. I go on the Calcasieu river to go wakeboarding. There are things to do, I guess you just have to find them.

Do you perform anywhere. You first need to develop a following. Once that is strong, get in the studio and make a disc for you fans. Try to get into battle of the band type of stuff. Even do stuff for charties. It is a mean market out there for musicians so you need to make youselves stand out from the rest with uniqueness. Sometimes if you are the star of the show, you must leave the others behind or else they will hold you back. Good luck.

The armpit of the Army.
Went there for tank/infantry training and was very happy to leave.
