Ft. Carson

[Dlachance]

Got orders today for Ft. Carson. Pretty excited to not be going to Riley like most of the other guys since I`ve live in Kansas and do not want to go back anytime soon.. For the ones who've been stationed there or are currently there, let me know what it's like. Thanks

It's in the shadow of Cheyenne mt. Spent two years there and miss it daily. I was deployed for both winters, but the summers are fantastic. Leaving the back gate you can be on a mountain road in about 5 minutes. Absoluelty beautiful.

Pikes peak is also about a 13 minute drive. The hillclimb is coming up!

Just got back from Colorado Springs. That is my home town.

It is a great area, weather is pretty decent and there is a ton of stuff to do. The life is much more focused on being outdoors than TX is, so seasons don't really slow people down up there.

It is a great area

Yeah, except for that whole banning guns and high capacity mags thing.

That always cracks me up. Sean being a hardcore right winger, and talking about how Colorado is so awesome. lmao.


Colorado IS awesome. But fuck a bunch of living there.

You have to understand growing up there it was always a very conservative state, a lot of the fucking goofiness is new(er). And there are still things that are far more conservative up there than in TX.

I really dig CA as well, despite their policies.

I can't speak of current laws, but in 2010 Colorado Springs was open carry. I also didn't have to go through shit to get my CHL. Just needed a valid Military ID and some cash.

I THINK a license was required to conceal, and maybe NOTHING was required to open carry, but that was 2010.

Also, like Sean said, it's so outdoor friendly. People encourage outdoor activities. In Texas it's hard to find a place to 4-wheel, but in Colorado there are so many off road trails/hiking trails/you name it.

Although I was disheartened that they shut down Rampart Range Road, from the Garden of the gods to Crystola

In the mood to name drop in a completely invalid way?
