What was your favorite military assignment/duty station and why? My deployment to Kuwait. There, I not only got to serve my country, but I was also able to learn about Kuwait’s culture. I was awed by the design of their bridges, the beautiful architectural design of their buildings, and taken back by the amount of support and respect local nationals have for the US Military.
