 Knew a fellow who became good friend who lived in Yuma several years. Had H A T E tattoed on left knuckles and L O V E on right...
 Oh, he stayed at place called near Yuma, in Florence called'Yuma State Prison Complex', I do not think he'd recommend it... but good luck!

Nothin wrong with Yuma .. small town kinda place .. lotsa Army doods around.
Hot in the summer, nice in the winter, close to the border if you want to go shopping

Some of the ACE (Arizona Corvette Enthusiasts) members live there and nearby.
Been literally years since I have been down there, from Phoenix Metro area, where I hang out at present.

Mark Twain wrote about Yuma:

Fort Yuma is probably the hottest place on earth. The thermometer stays at one hundred and twenty in the shade there all the time—except when it varies and goes higher. It is a U.S. military post, and its occupants get so used to the terrific heat that they suffer without it. There is a tradition... that a very, very wicked soldier died there, once, and of course, went straight to the hottest corner of perdition,—and the next day he telegraphed back for his blankets. ~George Derby, quoted in Mark Twain, Roughing It, 1872

Yuma isn't the end of the world, but you can see it from there.

This guy was headed to Yuma, but instead ended up looking for a "big W".

No, no, that guy was headed to Fresno.

We go to Yuma 2-3 times a year.. Some of the best Jet skiing to be had on the lower Colorado River prolly about 20 min North. You can go camp there or stay in town at night.

Lots to do at the River.

Speaking of wich, if you're one of the many young and single types stationed there or nearby, try to sneak out for a trip to Havasu during spring break.

Something you may want to do, around March when you'll be there, and can probabley get away to do easier - NAS El Centro is a short drive along the border into CA, the off-season/winter training base for the Navy's Blue Angles team, and every March they kick off their season with a top-notch air show.  If you've seen the Blue Angles before like I have, this is my favorite show to see them, even repeatedly.  You can tell it's more and longer than any other show/demo they do all year, I suspect because it's dedicated to their devoted and suportive family and friends in attendance.

Thankfuly for the OP, he'll be there during the prime for the region's spring weather - it may get cold at night, but he'll be spared from the blistering heat.
