Amber submitted this review to participate in my flipcam Give Away:
When we move, I will have lived at Fort Knox for six months. This is my first duty station with my husband, and I love it. Fort Knox is beautiful. Plenty of parks and fields and places. There?｢どｨび｢s a pretty decent commissary, if you can?｢どｨび｢t find what you like there, there?｢どｨび｢s a Walmart a quarter mile from Wilson Gate. The PX is pretty decent, too. There?｢どｨび｢s a few shoppettes scattered about, DFAC food is tasty, there?｢どｨび｢s a Golf Course, gas station, class six, post office vet, dentist, etc. etc. It has just about everything you could want. Also, a lot is being updated. Off Post:
Radcliff is the town right outside of Fort Knox. It looks a little old, but that?｢どｨび｢s about it. Elizabethtown is 20-25 minutes away, and has pretty decent shopping. There are hundreds of places to go out and eat. Louisville is 40-45 minutes away, and has more upscale shopping, especially in the St. Matthews area. 4th Street is where all the nightlife is.

If you love to hunt, fish, or go hiking Fort Knox is the place for you! Kentucky is a very beautiful state with all the changing season! The post is going threw a lot of changes right now, a lot of construction, which can be a pain, with building new housing unit for families, road construction, and expanding buildings! Love the commissary and the Px they have a good selection on stuff! Housing can be a pain in the butt to deal with, but for the most part they are ok! In certain housing areas cell phone reception is horrible!!!!! There?｢どｨび｢s nothing you can do about it because of the air field. The towns outside are small but have the necessities for food, a small mall, and walmart! But would recommend going to Louisville for big time shopping or dinner dates with the hubby!

Welcome to Fort Knox, Ky.
Fort Knox KY
Living Off post has its unique moments. Most of the neighborhoods are military occupied. We moved here with 1st Infantry. We are not a part of the Drill Sgt or training portion of the Army. We are regular army. So the post is set up for people who visit or are apart of the Drill Sgt Life/family. The PX and Commisary are OK. But again this post is not equipped to handle large groups of families and their needs.
From what I have seen of Post housing. There is OLD original brick and then there is the very new with garage and backyards. Plenty of schools on post, even a Highschool. The parks are getting better.
Off post. Walmart with in 5 minutes of Post gates. Larger shopping areas, barnes and noble, craft stores, a small and quiet mall are about 15 to 20 minute drive Into Elizabeth Town, depending on time of day and traffic. A lot of Chain Fastfood restaurants, not much for Local restaurants, family owned style businesses or places to eat. Louisville is a 55 minute drive to downtown. Airport is 30 minutes away.
Job wise. Getting a job as a spouse can be difficult. Retail and restaurants are the easiest bet. But Teaching, admin and others seem to retain their people or only hire those that have local references.
Community colleges nearby and Colleges/tech Schools on post open to spouses.
