I spent three years at Bliss and loved it 'cause I'm a desert rat. If you like high temperatures and low humidity in the summer, Bliss has that. The hottest it ever got while I was there was 109, humidity about 15%. Also Juarez, Mexico is right next door and can be a blast to visit. But as far as being everyone's idea of a good place to be assigned I guess Irwin would come out on top.

Spent a couple of years at Ft. Irwin. It's a hot desert in the summer and freezing in the winter. It was fun out there. But I also lived in LA, so it was only a few hours away. Since I was Op-4, we had a 4 day weekend once a month. That was our only time off.
Barstow is around 52 mles away and there is nothing there either. Las Vegas is about 80 miles.
A Base, Fort, Camp, Post, etc... is what you make of it. They all have the same things.
Ft Irwin was building new Barracks and Housing hen I left in '96

SSG US Army 73-82
I was never stationed there....but....in the late 80's I started going there every 3 to 6 weeks for several years as a civilian. I still keep in touch with a 4'10.5 " brunette. Yee Hah.

Bliss is much better than Irwin, Irwin has nothing very close, and the main post is tiny, the housing sucks and it is very depressing . Unless you like that kind of stuff...

Naming a place "Bliss" sounds like a trap for the naive.

It doesn't make any difference what base you go to, each one offers diffrent things, and more that are the same.
