Situated outside of Eastover, SC, the base is a small RTI centered activity. In the RTI building…read morethere is a mix of small barracks rooms and two gender neutral Soldier rooms. (Two Soldier per room, not two of them) The barracks are 8 to a side in bunks, two bays sharing a bathroom, wall locker per and a desk per inmate.
The two human rooms have microwave and tv and WiFi. They are said to be nice, and at least for some people come with maid service.
The barracks are better than some I have been in, but the mattress remind me unfavorably of the field sleeping pad. And they are new. The pillow is not as nice as the mattress, so bring your own. Same with the sheets. That having been said, they have washers and dryers in every bay, which is civilized. They do have WiFi which is reasonably fast and does not bog down, so someone in the S6 know what they are doing. Complements to you sir or mam. The Two Soldier Rooms have shared laundry facilities down the hall.
The DFAC (cleverly named the Crescent Moon Cafe), though sanitary, did not meet my gastronomic standards. The menu was a bit repetitive and tacos were on Wednesday rather than Tuesday. As DFACs go, it wasn't bad, but it did rather play to the reputation that Army food has spent generations earning. They do have Ice cream.
The PX is tiny. Like really tiny. They have zero uniform items, so don't plan on getting any. It is also closed Monday and Tuesday, which is barbaric.
Post chapel, tiny gym, and a small USO roundups the scenic attractions.
If you are here for BLC, know that this is one of the nicest setups going. It is not, however, Club Med.
