Overview Physician (Obstetrics/Gynecology), Fort Campbell, KY Occupying a generous portion of the border between Kentucky and Tennessee, Fort Campbell supports the fourth largest military population in the Army (and the 7th largest in the Department of Defense). The Screaming Eagles of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), 5th Special Forces Group, and the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment all call this base home. The Sabalauski Air Assault School (famed for being the 10 toughest days in the Army), the Pathfinder Course, Rappel Master, and FRIES/SPIES Master are just a few of the other schools and qualification courses available at Fort Campbell. A majority of Fort Campbell is located in Tennessee, but the post office that serves the base is just across the Kentucky border, giving on post residents and the installation itself the designation of being located in Kentucky. Clarksville, TN and Hopkinsville, KY are the two larger towns that serve the base. The base boasts modern facilities including a huge new commissary, parks, splash pads, a Starbucks, and updated housing. Clarksville is growing, but keeps a mindful eye on preserving its history and small town feel. Its only about 40 minutes north of Nashville, and some areas between the two cities are gaining popularity for being bedroom communities for Nashville. The low cost of living, home prices, and absence of state income tax are all perks to living in Tennessee. You get the rural, country lifestyle, but with the option of a thriving metro area just a short drive down I-24. Kentucky towns offer the same beautiful rolling hills, sprawling farms, and gracious Southern hospitality as Tennessee, but with a bit more land and a greater horse to person ratio. Into organic produce, pastured beef and forested pork? (Its a thing we checked!) You can actually get to know your farmer or rancher, if youre so inclined! The Nashville music scene influences local festivals, community concerts, karaoke bars, and church ensembles. Austin Peay University provides cultural, sporting, and community events. Parks, shopping, dining, wineries, breweries, and entertainment options round out the amenities available here. (Downtown Nashville) The local communities are friendly, laid back, markedly blue collar, and love their military! The customs and values reflect the Bible Belt region, so plan accordingly for Sundays. Being central to most of the United States makes travel convenient. Working for the Department of Defense offers benefits including competitive compensation, paid time off, medical benefits, student loan repayment options, and a retirement plan with the Thrift Savings Plan, including matching employer contributions.
