    I've been coming to the former Fr, Bragg for years! I have come here for training in the past and…read morenow occasionally I come for work. It's a very large installation and the home of Airborne.

    How does one rate a military base? I mean, they're not meant for tourism or public visits but if…read moreyou are family/friends coming to see your soldiers and/or attend a graduation of some sort, or maybe you're a solider transferring to Bragg and want to see what it's like maybe this will help. It's Huge! Fort Bragg is one of the five largest military bases in the US. It's basically it's own town and if you are a soldier coming here for a long term station you may want to think about shipping your vehicle over or you're going to have to make friends real quick to ride to formations and such with as they are often a good long walk away from barracks. For family/friends visiting, I'd suggest staying at a hotel on base such the IHG hotels as they are just as nice as most the ones in the town of Fayetteville, in a lot safer location, and close as you can get to your soldier. The barracks here are standard military barracks, cement floors, fans that look like they'll fly off the ceiling but definitely work to cool you down, simple kitchens, pretty gross bathrooms, a window view of the building next to you, etc. There are definitely different levels of quality depending on rank and if you get lucky enough to move up to newer rooms. Being next to a PX, gym, or dining facility is a perk as well and pretty common for many. There's really not much to do on base for visitors. You will have to either Uber/Lyft (Lyft is cheaper generally) onto base or if you are driving yourself, go to the visitors center to get a pass of some sort which is at the front gate. You can bowl on base with your soldier, shop at the px or the mall behind the IHG moon hotel, and get some work done at Starbucks (one of the few places you don't need a military ID to spend money at). Other than that, I'd recommend going to "downtown Fayetteville" and having lunch at The Fried Turkey Sandwich Shop, getting a cupcake at The Sweet Palette, seeing a movie at AMC 14, and visiting the Airborne and Special Operations Museum - all off base. Make sure to check the hours of the museum as they are a little funky. Overall it's a pretty standard military base. I've met some incredible soldiers that work/train there and heard some pretty terrible things about the civilians that run the cafeterias, which disappoints me. The hours for these military cafeterias are ridiculous as well, closing multiple weekends at a time and choosing random hours to shut down during the week. Personally, if I could change anything about this base, it'd be the cafeteria staff's attitude/respect for the soldiers and their open hours, as the soldiers are required to pay hundreds for a monthly meal card and can't even fulfill that with the amount of times they close up. That's just not cool, looking forward to change.

    My daughter and I opted to do the drive to Fayetteville instead of going to a closer DMV because…read moreFayetteville had faster times. We got there at about 1230 and checked in, our estimated wait time was 33 minutes. At about half an hour, we started checking the times and it kept going up. At about 330. We finally got the text that it was our turn and to come in. We went inside to be told people were being called to be told to go home. When we asked why we were told they were too many people in the waiting room and no way could they get through all of us before closing. We asked why didn't anyone let people know this before hand so we could've gone to another DMV that at that point though a further drive only had an estimated 15 minute wait time. By this point it was too late for any of us to go to the other DMV office. I understand they were shortstaffed, I understand there's a lot of work that needs to be done. I only saw two employees in that office along with the security personnel. What upset us was the total lack of communication the updated wait times to let us know that they were cutting off seeing people. Instead, wouldn't there be a way to send out a text to all of us that we're waiting in our vehicles stating that due to times no more people who had been checked in would be able to get their licenses. When we did the math, they were doing approximately nine people an hour. Though this is a fantasy, I hope the DMV thinks about how they communicate to the people who have checked in and are waiting for appointments to let us know if they are going to be able to complete seeing people or not. At 3:30 there were only about 15 people ahead of us.

    I overheard one staff member saying to the other staff member that she was surprised to see that he…read moredidn't have much overtime on his last paycheck. He said it was because he had to take a day off so it affected his OT. The staff member said, yeah because you always have OT..... They make everyone come back in the afternoon, even though nobody is being seen in the morning, so they can go past 5pm!! It's a SCAM and somebody should be investigated this!!

    DMV - They are friendly and helpful but the wait is forever. I would suggest getting here when the door opens.
