A great base in a great location to be stationed to!!! Nestled right below the Tampa Bay metropolitan area, this wonderful area is very supportive with its troops and offer great housing assistance/discounts pertaining to rental agreements. Being host to professional multi-sports teams & only 79 miles away from Orlando, there are 3 VA Centers, 2 MEPS, numerous upscale malls, a new base hospital medical center built in 2009 & even an off-site base medical clinic 20 miles away from the base. Weather of course is awesome year round, with the occasional daily (10-15 minute) thunderstorms during the summer months. Tampa is truly a fitness city: You get to run, bike or rollerblade and even take romantic walks next to the bay on the longest continuous sidewalk in the US. Great assignment, great beaches, great city!!!
