any experience with Ft. Meade?

Txs
My son is going to be stationed there soon and I was wondering if anyone had any handy info to offer.

I got around within it's area several years ago, but beyond being familiar with some of it's organizations and their functions I really don't know much about it.

Any info on how life in general there goes for a monetarily challenged young enlisted man? Any input on it's reputation as a good/bad CONUS assignment?

    If the phrases:
    "in the rear with the gear"
    "turtle"
    "Pogey Bait"

    can be applied to military bases then Ft. Meade is the epitome of them all.

    It is a nice post, lots to do around the area. If he is single, tell him to head to Columbia, MD. Lots of good looking single girls there:)
    Baltimore is just up RT 295, the Inner Harbor has lots to do also.
