Killeen is alright. The population is in the low 100,000's. There's a bunch of restaurants to choose from, a small mall to shop at and a decent sized lake thats about 20 minutes away if you're into the outdoors. The import scene is pretty big down here for such a small city. Once you get down here ask around about Deepstage and KR motorsports. Temple academy raceway is the track everyone goes to and its about a 20-30 minute drive from Killeen. As for Ft. Hood, there's 2 px's and 2 commissaries to shop at. Also, you might want to check out Austin, which is about a 50 minutes away.
