The worst is really a personal preference based on family, climate and all sorts of other items. For me being from Phoenix i'm a desert rat and prefer something a little warmer, so my ranking of bases to live in, Chicago is definitely at the bottom of my list. If I ended up in Chicago i'd still be more than happy because its better than flight instructing, so right now i'm planning to live at the bases that I rank lower on my personal preference list and hope I get something higher on my list.
