You don't remember all the dives outside the back gate?My first apartment was right there on the beach actually.

I always went in and out the gate on the west side, but I honestly don't remember much about what was right there. It was over 20 years ago.You don't remember all the dives outside the back gate?
....29 Palms. Ugh, what a shithole.Or Norfolk.
Is there anything out there besides the base? I remember visiting my daughter and her family when she was married to a marine stationed there in the late 90's. I don't remember much else besides the base.....29 Palms. Ugh, what a shithole.
lolI told my naive Filipino spouse to Go Go damn it.
Little stores and little cafe's all full of millions of those tiny alcohol bottles. Never seen so many choices. Along with paraphernalia....and meth heads.Is there anything out there besides the base?

You call it an "EDC", yet you do not carry it every day. Misnomer?I Should had Carried my EDC Pistol in Killeen
Yeah, I don't remember much about the place other than the housing on the base, just that it was out in the middle of nowhere. I was TDY to San Diego at the time.Little stores and little cafe's all full of millions of those tiny alcohol bottles. Never seen so many choices. Along with paraphernalia....and meth heads.
And bad roads, unreal. We rented a brand spankin new Kia Sorento and when I turned it in a week later it was completely worn out. I wouldnt have given a thousand dollars for it.
Welcome to the Forum!I currently live about 20 minutes west of Hood and work on post every day. I drive down rancier quite often but never after dark.
In fact, I don't go north of 190 after dark. Nothing good is gonna happen down there.
Thanks. No idea why it took me so long to get here.Welcome to the Forum!
My wife doesn’t understand why I carry everywhere. Unfortunately the world we live in now necessitates it.I went to an event with my spouse in the 700 Block area of Rancier in Killeen. That is a crazy dangerous area of Killeen. We got out at about 9:00-9:30 PM.
Lots of strange folks around there at night.
One guy with a backpack with machete strapped to it wanted to “ make contact “ so to speak.
I told my naive Filipino spouse to Go Go damn it. She as usual was slow and obstinate.
She is from a rough neighborhood in Mindanao and despite my explanation felt that she could manage things.
Next time one of my EDC pieces will be with me. Killeen is a rough town but even more so around Rancier.
LESSON LEARNED!
