    Like I said in my tip, don't come in with any expectations…read more I'm one of those people who truly believe that your mindset will determine your experience. Yes, the base is extremely isolated, if you don't already know that then now you know. You either deal with what you have on post or you drive down the Fort Irwin Road speedway to get to where you need to go. We always opt for the latter. The schools on base are great! I can tell how much my children's teachers love teaching, especially if they're willing to make the drive out here. I've felt welcomed in their classrooms and on their campuses. The middle school sports program at Fort Irwin Middle school has been surprisingly competitive. My 6th grade daughter has played for both their volleyball and basketball team and we've loved making the drive out to watch them play at away games. The housing isn't the best we've lived in, but we've lucked out again with being placed in newer housing with less issues. I recommend for anyone PCSing over to make sure you video tape and photograph any discrepancies with your home and submit that with your list to housing. Also, invest in a ring doorbell. I haven't really had any issues with our food establishments, but then again we do more cooking at home and my kids are easy to please with the selection here. If I had to choose to eat out I'd go to Smoothie n Things and the bowling alley before anywhere else. Getting visitors on base is easy if you follow procedures. You can send in the visitor pass request early and your guests can do all the waiting at the gate without needing you to drive up to accompany them on. From what I understand they cannot clear backgrounds until they arrive, so they should expect a wait for their clearance. Want to not be a "lack for better and appropriate word" at the gate? Then dim your lights, roll down all driver's side windows, have your identification ready and be prepared to open your trunk if requested when entering the gate. Don't fight security procedures. Don't play Pokémon go? Well now's the time to start. You're either a gym rat or a Pokémon go geek. Join the darkside!

    My first time here this past weekend!…read more Without traffic the drive was about 2 hours. 1 hour to get to 330 and 1 hour up the mountain. Cute little mountain town! They have everything you need there. Supermarkets close by, a CVS. Went for my friends' bachelor/bachelorette party combined. We got a nice cabin close to town and rented a boat on Saturday. The weather was great and there were a lot of trees! I haven't been here in the snow but I can imagine it's beauty. Reminds me of Disneyland's Matterhorn mixed with California Adventure's Grizzly Peak. The drive up the mountain was beautiful. It is windy though so be cautious if you get carsick. Arrowbear had awesome rocks to look at. At night you can see the beautiful stars amongst the family of tall trees. One road into town and one road out. When I left to come home it was the butt crack of dawn but I drove through the cute little village just to see the storefronts. It reminded me of being transported into a little village in time. Like Fantasyland in Disneyland. Why does everything remind me of Disneyland? Would have been nice if I could have seen a real live bear! But no such furry beast was roaming around town. I stopped and took pictures wherever I could on my drive back home but of course, no pictures do the real thing justice.

    Too many people. There is always some event happening...every weekend. No peace and quiet. Horrible…read moredriving conditions especially when there is a bicycle event. It is NOT safe for anyone driving or biking. Greed over safety. All the inconvenience of a major city plus all the inconvenience of a small town.

    Government workers are literally incompetent. As well as the security guards when they want to…read moreanswer the question you have for social security workers! I had went a month in advance to go ask some questions. Security didn't let me in just to ask a simple question. Said you need appointment and gave me a paper to call. Also, a form to request a copy of a ss card for a minor. I called to get appointment for a copy of a minor ss card. I ask what do I need to request them. The person tells me the usual identification for a minor(passport, school ID, vaccines and birth certificate together). Not once said that there is a criteria for the ages. 0-4 you can use this and 4 and up you can only use this. Also, all documents that is medical has to be notarized and signed by a doctor. Today is my appointment. What a slap in the face I get when I show up with the documentation that the person on the phone TOLD ME!!!! Person at the window like huh. Yeah, none of this is correct and gives me a paper and tells me this and that. He asks for a iehp card. Only card from iehp is insurance card. On the paper it says they can take that so why did he ask for it, huh? Something else about it can't be issued more than four years!!!!!!! Side note. When the conversation is all done. He said he can help me all the way until 4pm. I told him I'll be back in 20mins. I don't live far. I get back he isn't at his desk but a lady. I let the lady know if she can notify the person that sitting there that I'm back. Nothing. Waited 40min seen people go to his window to be helped.
