Ft Campbell vs Carlisle Barracks

John and I got our Army times yesterday and inside we found brand new 2009 Installation Guide. We decided to compare our current home to our soon to be home (we assume). John knew there really wasn't much of a comparison but I had no clue. Here are a few stats

We'll start with Ft Campbell... just the highlights
Installation population:
Active duty 30,865 Family: 62,723 Civilians: 4,317
Housing:
4,147 family units
Schools:
5 Elementary schools, 2 middle schools and one high school.
PX:
Home to the largest PX in the world
Climate
None listed because it isn't a big deal here

And now for Carlsile Barracks
Installation population:
Active duty 500, Family 738, civilians 1,140
Housing:
267 family units, 48 barrack spaces for enlisted soldiers
Schools:
None
PX:
Medium size PX and Commissary
Climate
Average high, 62
Average low, 44
Days above 90, 23 (note, they don't go above 100)
Days below 32, 106 (Crap) 106 days below freezing.. I need to say goodbye to the south... :(

So, that is that... how much my life is going to change next year.

For those of you that are interested, Sharelle started a blog for Craven (Annabelle called him Haven) her blog is linked to this one on the right hand side and it is called "the adventures of Craven" check it out..

Much love and prayers to you all
