20MXG is based out of Shaw. So your orders are saying you'll be a part of the Det 2 of the 20MXG. Your unit is based out of Shaw, but where you're working is actually at the ANG base.
So technically, you'll be a part of Shaw AFB, but you'll be assigned over at McCentire.

Depends. Take a look at AFI 36-2110. For a first termer, I think it's 2yrs TOS, but I may be wrong.
Acutally, I'd kill to work at an ANG base. Just be optimistic and give it a shot. You may end up liking it. Myrtle Beach isn't too far from where you'll be stationed.

Also, dude why are you pissed that you are going to SHAW??? you are 20miles closer to Columbia than I am and it isn't like you can't go anywhere. Hell Jacksonville, FL is 3 hours away. No offense, but you could have gotten stationed at Minot or Tinker out in BFE. I swear 90% of USAF ppl want to live by family or some ideal area or its a "shitty assignment." I'm not even from the south and I love that area! Plus if you are at McEntire, you are cushy as all hell. Nothing goes on there, meaning you can pursue other things...like your bachelors, work 8 hour shifts, etc. Plus the mentality is a WHOLE new ballgame.

Yea.. i can understand a lot of people prob bitch about there assignments.... i guess im more disappointed cause it was not expected....i was told likely Luke... Eglin.... Nellis.... soo to get the total opposite is just kinda of shock.. cause i know nothing about that area... except the bits of info from previous instructors who have come from shaw.. which never was that great
Just venting.. not trying to start a which base is better war....
