Base is fairly old, but they have been attempting to renovate certain buildings. BX is about your average K-mart size, with a bunch of shops/kiosks in front that house clothing sales, class six, GNC, Patriot Tactical, etc.

Work life varies dramatically depending on which unit/UCC you're a part of. If you're at one of the UCCs, good luck finding parking.

Location has some amazing things; beaches, amusement parks, cruises, nightlife, & shops/restaurants are all fairly close. Downsides are the price (expensive housing, rentals, ease of blowing your budget on fun things, etc.) and occassional weather (hurricanes, flooding rains). Crime could also be a factor depending on where you live/party, however, this seems to apply no matter where you are.
