not for me

I grew up in killeen(unfortunately)due to being a military brat. I joined the military, did 3 years and returned. Thankfully I now have a job where I leave killeen almost on a weekly basis, but I do plan on leaving the town all together in a couple of years.
The only good things I can mention about Killeen is the low cost of living, and the wonderful worship services offered to the community. Other than that I ask where is the corporate businesses? where is the great recreation for children and adults? where is the culture? where is the big career opportunities? and where is the ambition and drive in the people of killeen. I have a great paying job that sends me to all kinds of locations. Upon visiting GREAT places such as NYC, I realized almost everyone here just "settles". Seems almost every womans goal in life here is just to marry a soldier, and many people here simply do not strive for greater success.
I refuse to live here any longer and have my four year old son grow up thinking that the Army is the only opportunity for him. Unfortunately that seems to be the thought process for many people here when there is much more this country has to offer.
Like I said, I have been in and out of this town for years but now is the time for me to move on to a place of greater opportunities, adventure, and people who are driven in life! Peace out K-town
