Fort Drum was the most deployed division in the Army, so what would happen is most new Soldiers would cycle in to a brigade as they were gearing up for their next deployment to the desert.

I know on here I have seen a few posts where people have mentioned they don't rent to them because of the Soldier Sailor Act.

I doubt it will be drastic but you never know, a huge cut in Soldiers will have a dramatic affect on real estate in the area just as it did when the base expanded 10 years ago. 

I honor the service of my fellow soldiers and sailors who have served and are currently in harms way.

Don't forget what happened at Walter Reed and these were soldiers under our goverment's care!

I am wondering what a mess and how many dead soldiers I have behind my walls!!!

I think we will just raise the rents to 850 as the newest tenant is already paying that and has been for a year so the others on month to month probably already expect it.Then 25 bucks next year.The fires have been crazy the last two years I am sure we will feel it in insurance soon.As for fort carson, I work there, they will lose a brigade but actually gain 1800 Soldiers NET so that will help.It is a small world.

This articles shows that Fort Carson is actually the only installation that will gain (1800 Soldiers) despite the 10 BCTs being cut.)Also construction jobs for teh new aviation brigade should help the local market over the next few years. http://www.armytimes.com/article/20130702/NEWS/307020002/The-huge-BCT-overhaul

As an Army Veteran, naturally I started there and quickly discovered some of the perks.1) Guaranteed rent through BAH - (Basic Allowance for Housing)2) Ability to hold tenants accountable for damages - I'd request information regarding their assigned unit and contact chain of command if issues arise. 90% of the time CoC were willing to get involved.3) Additionally, Soldiers have mandatory housing inspections to ensure cleanliness and quality.

On this Memorial Day weekend-- and every day....Thank you to all of our active duty soldiers for your service!
