Base vs OFF Base Living ?

Al

So , my husband has enlisted in the Army & im curious as to the base living vs off base living . I want to live on base cause i feel like i'd feel better on base since it'd be only my husband , our 2 kids & myself since we have no family going with us or anything . If you can let me know pros & cons i'd appreciate it ... yes i know it depends on which base you go to & ect . as soon as i find out i'll let you all know , but i'd like some information from where you're at & ect just to help me get a sense of it .
