What is housing like? On-post? (waiting list,

South Fort isn't as nice as North fort. We
lived on North Fort and loved it.
Rate the PX & Commissary.
They are small but I've seen smaller

Lost of outdoors things. Range, softball,
fishing, hiking (walking), bowling, movies
Active Spouses Club?
dont really know
Things to do in area?
Leesville is not the best. I'm from south of
DeRidder and we never went there. There is a Walmart in DeRidder.
DeRidder is much nicer. I love going to Lake Charles to the board
walk they have a big park and sprinklers that shoot up from the
ground by the water.
School System?
On post there are 2 elem. schools and off post
the closest school is Pickering which is K-12th
Any colleges in area?
In the area there is NSU Ft Polk right
off post. If you dont mind the drive McNeese is in Lake Charles and
its a really good College.
Jobs? (on post and off)
Jobs are always hard to find around posts. If
you dont mind being a waitress or working at walmart.
Favorite aspect of this base/surrounding city?
Least favorite aspect?
There isnt much to do if you dont get out and
find it.
Any other tips?
Ger out of your house and make friends. Drive
around I'm a bigger believer on driving around and exploring. You'll
be amazed on what you find.
