ok, let me tell you a little more. the hotel itself is ok. free breakfast, nice rooms, most rooms have big fridges, stoves, and plates. that all comes in handy during training. take your perdiem check, fill the fridge up and you can eat for the entire time you are their, without spending a lot of your check on eating out. so the hotel itself isn't that bad. the staff could use some help, but they probably live in the same neighborhood and that is why the area is so bad. anything around the airport in mem is trash. within a 5 mile radius of the airport there is a murder, shooting, etc, etc, every night. the area is horrible. so unless you are into gold teeth, shooting the homeys, and picking up the hookers on brooks, then you wont like the neighborhood and i would recomend not venturing out around the area. when i was in training we would drive to germantown to do our shopping. i liked the area so much we bought a house out here, and have been very happy with that decision.
