5. How is housing? On-post? Off-post?:We live in an apt off post. There are many great apt communities in the area but had we known the housing market we would’ve definitely rented or purchased a home. Building a house in Clarksville, TN is extremely cheap for pretty decent quality.
6. Rate the PX and Commissary. Good, but lack of product.

12. Favorite aspect of the post and surrounding area? Clarksville is very diverse and not predominately military feels more like a small town than a military town.

14. List any local websites. N/A
15. Any other tips or information? Don’t assume being military makes you obsolete in this town, it gives you an interesting perspective and there are so many opportunities here that you should def. take advantage of this.
Hello! A few years back I posted from a survey on your site about living on/near post @FortCampbell and as I’m in the process of being hired for a gov’t posit, which requires my name to be stricken from searches linked to the Army, Im writing to request that my original post be removed. I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can put forward in helping this happen. Here is the URL link to the original post needing to be removed (or if my full name can be removed, that’s fine also): https://marriedtothearmy.com/tag/ft-campbell/
Thank you. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to expedite the removal of my name from the site. Have a wonderful day and keep up the great blogging!
I removed your last name – also removed it from this comment too. Thanks!
