El Paso native here, loved the video! For viewers, if you’re looking for night life head to Cincinnati St 🍻

Thanks! and i love your positive perspective and family values!

Great video. I retired here in El paso 2023, which is very affordable . Great folks, I don't regret this awesome opportunity... Thanks for the Video..

Thank you!! This vid is so helpful for active duty families.

I really love your video. I’m happy you touched on different topics even if it wasn’t a con for you. Thank you for your unbiased opinions. You hear so many cons amongst military spouses and then when you get there it’s not your experience. We are stationed in Hawaii and they said the school system was horrible but my girls flourished academically. It’s really what you make it and I grew up in Richmond, VA small world. Great video love 🖤

You seem SUPER positive and I LOVE that. I try to always look at the bright side too. We are coming there in a few months and im looking forward to it. THanks for the video.

I’m sooo glad this video popped up in my suggestions you just about covered everything my family and I will be relocating to El Paso in the summer and I was wondering how the whole vibe is in the desert thanks so much peace and many blessings! ✌🏾

Omg!! Thank you for making this video. We will be on our way to ft bliss in August and I have been trying to find so many videos on what El Paso is like! Will definitely be watching more videos.

Great advice! I love your openness to new areas. So many negative Nancys in the military community.

“That really made the list”lol I feel you on that. I’m also over the night life scene now, but it’s great that you spoke on it for those who are. New friend here sis. Love your positive outlook. I also try to be as optimistic as possible.

I havent ever been to El paso thanks for sharing your experiences

Awesome video. Thanks.

Heading there this month. I love hot weather. Pumped.

Awesome video!

I love how informative this video is, my husband is stationed there, and we’re trying to find housing off post, but I’m use to living in Texas so when I was visiting I thought they drove too slow, just my personal opinion lol. Love this video overall ❤️❤️

Hi Troy!!..I’m very happy that El Paso has treated you so well☺️.I’m with you on the night life it’s not a big issue for me anymore haha.. my favorite part of El Paso definitely has to be the food😋..I’ve lived here my whole life and I still love it here!..Have a great weekend😊💜

I know this video is a few years older but you are so right about the traffic. Now with the expansion on I-10 and the 375 are probably the worst right now.

Good video! Adorable family 🤩

I’m glad you made this video. Native southern Texan, and I’ve been to El Paso. We are considering duty stations right now, and thinking of putting Bliss on the list, praying about it. The complaining about the heat 🤣. I don’t even think El Paso is as hot as the rest of Texas. Also, when I first clicked on your video I immediately wondered if you are a sister in Christ. You’ve got the Christ glow. Saw your testimony video. 💗

I was on orders for two years 2016-2017 at fort Bliss with the army reserves. And I'll just say... Even though I'm from LA I still come back to El Paso at least twice a year. The weather is hot from May to August. September and October are hot, but they're like 80-90 degree days. But it was hotter in Kuwait. If El Paso had well paying jobs outside of the Army I would've probably stayed.

El Paso is my hometown and miss it so much! I miss the warm friendly people. I plan to retire their or move before retiring.

I like and enjoy weather . Your kids are so cute and nice sharing

We were stationed there 2002 - 2004 and we loved it. The Franklin mountains are great for hiking. The west side did have a different vibe than the east. I was surprised at how many Walmarts there were with mostly all the check out lanes open. Con - Dust Storms!

Hey Troy! Texas is a beautiful place! I would love to visit Texas one day. I can only imagine how hot your summers are in El Paso. TFS❤

Hi Troy! I think we have similar climates. I love warmer weather although summers get very hot here, better than snow in my opinion:)

Thanks for sharing

Hi I am new supporter, I support your video.

i wish i could get that hot summer like right now. Hoping you feel at home there anyway. Weather changes alot in Switzerland, which can be a bit depressing at times, so i would understand those who say its too hot for them.

Another El Paso Native here also, great video glad to see some people thinking positive about our city. If anyone has more questions feel free to reach out.

I really struggle with the driving here. It is crazy. Lol. The only other thing I could complain is the lack of greenery. There is some but like I miss the woods and thats just because of where I am from. It is a decent place though for sure. I also like that it doesn’t rain that often. The sky is always blue. I absolutely love that.

Great representation of El Paso Troy!! 👍👍 And this is coming from a native El Pasoan who has also lived in 4 other states, ie: California, Nevada, New York & Kentucky. I am also a Texas and New Mexico Realtor and would love to share your video on my business Facebook page with your permission? I love what you have to say about our awesome city and our neighboring New Mexico attractions! 🤩🥰 Thank you! So glad you & your family has made your home here! 😍💐

I try to be positive as well....Personally I love the warm weather

Hey Troy I'm here watching

I great video!! I live in El Paso too and very accurate 👍😁

I have lived here for 5 years then moved to Kansas and now I’m back cause my dad in the army

My husband has orders to Ft.Bliss. I just hope we enjoy it there! We've been to Drum, Stewart, Campbell & Carson. I'm only worried about on post housing, and hope we are able to get something spacious enough for our family of 6!

Girl if I lived in a colder climate that would definitely affect my quality of life lol. Loving this color on you!!🙂😍

Being a black woman and just been here for a few months. I agree with your pros and cons 💯

I’d love to know where she’s driving at cause I’ve been stationed here almost two yrs and the two main highways I’m mostly on (54, 10) it’s the opposite. Ppl tend to consistently drive 5-10 mph under the speed limit. Which can be a pain when your trying to get to work and everyone wants to drive slow. And refuse to use their turn signals. Have come close to rear ending many a person cause they decide that they wanna pretend play fast and furious by cutting across 3 lanes of traffic and right in front of me without every signaling and again while going under the speed limit while I’m going the set 60.

My cons for El Paso. Was definitely the school system this why I pulled my daughter out and homeschooled. Also them driving here is nuts, I can’t stand when I have to drive on the highway. Pros I love the scenery, the mountains are beautiful definitely to wake up to everyday. Another pro here is the crime rate is so low. Another pro the food is so good taco trucks mom and pop shops etc... Now would I want my husband to retire here No. I need more city things since I am not an outdoor person and I need a beach nearby.

Headed here in July we got orders and our report date is July 15th were looking to stay in the corriegor housing I hope that Ft. Bliss will be a good experience for us

Just visit my son who is in the army we are from Virginia Beach. I really really like Elpaso Texas I hope he gets station There again I will definitely come back. He’s in Korea now I like everything about the city and I can definitely deal with the hot days. Put a pool in the backyard. I will be back one day. Thank you and your husband for serving much respect

I’m from the tidewater area too. I have to choose between bliss and hood and it’s lookin like bliss

I used to live in El Paso

❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

From NY to Texas, here we come. Looking for warm tired of being frozen for 9 months a year.

Troy I agree on the driving. We have school board elections coming up. You ought to check out who is runnibg.

Kick ass👍👍

Amen. People drive entirely way.... to fast in El paso and I 10 is a speed way of recklessness!!😮

I rather deal with dry heat than humidity heat

Have you had many scorpions in your home, or have your kids gotten stung by one outside of the home? I was considering moving to Fort Bliss, but I am a little nervous about scorpions in relation to my family.

Hi, thank you for your video. It was so informative. Do you live on post? My husband, myself and my 3 year old son is getting stationed in fort bliss in October. I am super nervous. Would you recommend living on post or off? And where are some areas to avoid on post? And some good school? Thank you so much in advance

Thank you! Very informative. My husband just was sent there for training for Government Contract in KUWAIT!🙏🥲💙👆

Been here for 4 years and I like El Paso the people , are always nice , food is good , yes is hot but not like Arizona

We spent 10 years at bliss. 93 to 97 the first time. And August 07 through July 2014. And we didn’t like it. Especially the second time. The army kept my husband in the same brigade (4-1 AD) for 7 years.

Check out the 360 degree virtual video tours of Fort Bliss houses on our channel.

Question my husband got soft orders for fort bliss and he graduates in 7 weeks how do I get ahold of the base housing and what do I need for that?

Hello, I was looking at homes for sale in the area and found some within 79938 and 79934 zip codes. Do you know if these are nice areas? Thanks in advance for any info.

Another pro - El Paso has the best Mexican food in the country!

Я не знаю почему это смотрю ночью😃мне это не надо. Но интересно

Just got our orders for Fort Bliss in August! Im curious, did you do on base housing or off? Im seeing bad reviews for the on base housing, so Im wondering if its better to just do off base and rent a home/apartment? Thanks! 😊

Whats the name of that man made lake 2 hours from El Paso ?

But sometimes the curriculum isn’t the issue. Sometimes the issue is behavior. Or bullying. Or a number of other issues.

Omg she talking bout me when she said people drive too fast 💀

As a former life long born and raised El Pasoan, I felt this was a bit bias, but you did explain that was where you were coming from as a person who loves it there. I wish you luck there, and enjoyed your positive vibe... even though I don't think it gives a real world view of El Paso. EDIT: As for night life, El Paso has to be the Stripper Club HQ, as there are so many of them in the city... also there are plenty of dance clubs and bars of all sizes there to mingle if that is your thing. EDIT 2: Driving, yeah its gotten very crazy there in El Paso with so many people moving to the area, but it has nothing on Dallas or San Antonio, and for sure not Houston... When it gets that bad there, time to move. LOL. When I was at BLISS, all the soldiers hated it it seemed, they wanted to go back to Fort Hood, as they said they had stuff to do there, they could be in Dallas in a couple hours and see a Football game, or be in Austin and see a good concert.. Yeah El Paso is LAND LOCKED, and that there is a Major Con for people used to short drives to be in another major city and all its options for fun. Hey if you get a chance go check out CLOUD CROFT NM a short drive away, save it for one of the days its super hot in El Paso and you want to cool off.. ENJOY!

Actually Ozona TX is “Biggest Little Town in the World”

I thought I was the only one that saw the bad driving!!! I will give them a taste of their own medicine. One of the cons, another con is the number of attractions and the dating scene is half good, half bad. As far as other things, it has everything. Has many schools and has bars everywhere. It's so affordable. Good place to retire. No natural disasters.

Are you Jamaican?

It’s hot! So what. It’s hot in other parts of the country. It’s also probably humid in those other parts of the country. So, you have the choice of being dry roasted or well basted. Lack of diversity. You tactfully dodged saying El Paso has lots of Mexicans. I grew up there. I was in the minority there being white. Yet I felt at home there and the people good and accepting. My education there was very good. The education you receive is what you decide to make of it. If your folks don’t appreciate the education system or the value of education, they will most likely not invest the time with the kids to ensure they get a good education.
