Do not speed.  The MPs get bored easily.

I have been on FOBs with more amenities.  None of the stuff there is bad, it is just spartan.

Keep the dependents out of the outlet center, south of Barstow.  $$$

Drink water.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm going to be an O/C so my time off will be limited. From reading the links elsewbere in the forum it looks like I'll be leaving a lot of my toys out of state.

As mentioned, the road from the 15 fwy to Fort Irwin is pretty dangerous, a lot of people have died on that road. I'm sure a lot of those people were drunk and heading back to base but still be careful. There is a lot of BLM land to use for target shooting and also an area off of Hodge rd. between Barstow & Victorville off the 15 fwy. I personally would rather go find my own area to shoot rather than go to Hodge rd. but you have both options.
