Parents just got orders..............the outlook isn't good.......

[Brutuskend]

I was stationed in N.C. back in the 70's.

It does indeed SUCK!

 

[phantom309]

I'd take Fayette-Nam over the Dakotas any day. It is kind of a trashy city, but that part of NC is beautiful, and you can go outside more than 3 months out of the year.

Wow I did that back in 1990....gosh I feel old now.

Must say that the AF was the most exciting time of my pre-25 year old....

Going to Lackland AFB? I was there for 28 fun days with AFROTC. It's a breeze, trust me. The fun part is to play the BS game...like where's Waldo. The only problem is that you find the BS pretty much everywhere! PM me if you want info about basic, ect.

 

[BillyBatson]

where is your stepdad stationed, Tyndall? I hate panama city though it is so dirty and boring. I'm statioend at Hurlburt In fort Walton.

all I can say is good luck to you =\, i miss my home (socal) and will do anything to go back!

There's the Air Force in a nutshell

Where I live

 

[mAdD INDIAN]

There's crime on an military base? How does that work? I assume those places are very secure and obviosly your collueages dont steal.

[chrisms]

I live in Tacoma and your dad missed out.

 

[knoxweather]

yeah I heard that base sucked I haven't been there though. Hope your Dad tries to make the best out of it. That's the way the Air Force works.

 

[gtsukada]

please explain why the NC base sucks, i'm curious? is the surrounding area full of hookers and pimps or something?

 

[lMlHuxley]

Hell, they should feel lucky they were stationed in friggin florida for so long. Air Force is a risk and you take those risks and I don't want to hear the whining when things don't go that way. I have had some of my friends sign up for the national guard to get free school...then 9/11 happens and guess what? Some of them have to go to war and they are crying to me about it. I pay for your friggin school and you took the chance and that is all there is to it.

It does.

wow.

So.... why did they put fayeteville on their list at all??
there must have been more than ten options.

There were 10 job openings at different bases for the 10 SrMSGTs that made rank in my father specific field, they gave each person the list of those to bases and had each person rank them by which base they'd like to go to. Usually most people will go to one of the bases that they ranked the highest, but not always

South dakota was nice - we lived there for 4 years, my parents loved it What does fayette-man have that the Dakotas don't?

Yea - We live near Lynn Haven, though, which is the best part of this area.

 

[isekii]

my town aint so shabby
we have like 5 different cops here.

[aircooled]

Fayetteville is getting better. I like NC better than Tacoma. The crime rate in Tacoma isn't better. Since you are in Florida now, the weather in NC will be more suitable too.

 

[poopaskoopa]

Fayetteville is a great place if you enjoy skanky strip clubs.

Closest listed town to where I grew up.

[vi edit]

Rapid City is a cool place, it's just a long ways from anything else. My wife is from near there and her mother is stationed at Camp Rapid. There's tons of things to do if you are into outdoorsy stuff - hiking, skiing, snowmobiling, mountain biking, ect. The winters in Rapid can get pretty chilly, but the rest of the year is very pleasant.

With the exception of some crime in a few parts of town, it's a pretty safe area, and it's reasonably inexpensive to live there.

 

[bradruth]

Well it's nice to see that *somebody* wants to come to ND.

If they would have been assigned to ND, they most likely would have ended up in GF (although Minot is a possibility), which is where I live 9 months out of the year (and now where I keep the crime level down ).

 

[Shugotenshi]

heh heh, Minot is generally the joke of the AF. It has a bad rep anyway.
