DEC2020 Fort Bliss Texas is an Army Military Post currently and mainly directed by FORSCOM 1AD. Plenty got lots of trash to talk about Fort Bliss and El Paso but it is not that bad at all. Actually it is interesting to find how many soldiers have made El Paso their home after ETSing or retirement. Fort Bliss is quite large Covering mid El Paso and a big part of White Sands New Mexico. Fort Bliss having an awesome PX. Fort Bliss composed of Main Post, Biggs Army Airfield, East Bliss and What some call East East Bliss. So, if you are PCSing here ensure you actually find out where your unit is because I have met so many people who buy a home and end up driving 40 minutes to an hour difference farther than they "thought" they would be at. Main post hosts the PX, Commissary, Legal, CYS, CID, MWR, ACS, Fort Bliss Museum, Some Housing, parade field, gas stations, education center, USO, soldier center (former welcome center) among many other offices to inprocess and out process. The thing with main post is that the traffic lights take forever so always add an additional 20 minutes to get whatever you are planning to do on main post due to how long it takes to get around. Of course just like any other post .. DO NOT SPEED! that's dumb. Plus do stop for at least 5 official seconds for a stop sign otherwise you will be ticketed $70 just like I once was. Yup, I stopped at a stop sign but not for 5 seconds so MPs were happy to stop me and give me a ticket. If you get a Barracks room in main post currently it will likely be small and quite outdated (it will suck) but barracks in Biggs Army Airfield, East Bliss or East East Bliss your barracks will be very nice. (Barracks wise) All CYS facilities rock. El Paso is not a big city but it has anything you may need. Lots of hiking trails and mountain bike trails. Follow me and I can guide you on those. Its Sunny, dry, hot and Windy. Yes this is the desert so be ready.. a positive to that is .. Winters are cute and short. It will be 58 degrees in December and people will be wearing Hat and gloves lol. Yup that's not cold. On the Contrary Summers are HOT!!!!!!!! Stay hydrated with water, mineral water and electrolytes. Is hard to grow a garden here don't count with it yet not fully impossible. Lots of Mexican Food in the area, and yes you will hear lots of Spanish. If you are open minded you may even learn some. Juarez Mexico is literally around the corner so your television will pick up their channels. East Bliss has some pretty cool facilities for Soldiers and a second USO. Biggs Army Airfield hosts the Sergeant Major Academy, Hugo Mendoza clinic, A second and big Modern Dental Facility, 1AD HQs, Biggs Park and of course an Airfield. East East Bliss has the best barracks. Wherever the Army sends you it is all within you to make the best of it so Yup! read more
