You are Prior service, you will not be housed with NPS airmen. You will get an nice little room at billeting.

i thought it was extremely hard to get into the air force if you're prior service?

It really depends, I have 2 former Army working with me right now. 1 was a stinger missile crew member, the other was transportation. Come to think of it, my current commander is former Army as well. The AF loves to take prior army and make them Security Forces.

I was born at Sheppard and went back for a day trip back a month or so before 9/11.

I hear there is a descent car scene in the area. Remember is the AF flight school so be preparied to start loving jet noise.

Keep your place clean!
my parents lived just off base when I was born there (father was an instructor) and if you did not keep the place really clean you would find cocroaches all over.


I was sad to see most of the hospital there is shut down. Back in the 80's I was the second larged baby born on record for that hospital.

The BX is pretty big and was rather nice.

I hear they hang out at the Sonic near by, quite a few Sheppard guys here.

Do a search under Sheppard AFB.

^ This is correct. There is a Sonic just outside the gate, check it out on a Sat.

Sheppard is ok for tech, you will have a good time. I was there for crew chief school back in 99 for B1's...wow, I getting old! I had a lot of fun though. ***** changed since I was there though. PDA park was the place to be back then, all that ***** gone now and the amn live in mansion dorms that look like the Holiday inn. I was there with a buddie in 05 I belive for 7 level and still had fun.

KC-10's seem like a cool plane. I just did a fam class on them the other day here in Al Dhafra to know the quick egress and shut down stuff. Plane overall seems pretty simple.

Have fun at tech!! Watch out for the med hoes...LOL!!!

Sonic on Kemp, not the one by the base. Go to the one by the base and all you will see is kids.

I was at Sheppard for tech school in 05. Im a F-15 engine troop. The sonic on kemp is the one you want to go to like babydeuce said. But honestly, sheppard sucks a fat one dude. Nothing really to do but go to bww's and drink. Theres like 3 bars to pick from. All the girls are ugly as hell too. But there are some f-body's there. Nitrous Xpress' factory is in Witchita falls. LoL. Good luck bro.

Another hell yea for the med hoes!

I was at Sheppard for tech school back in 92. I was 19 at the time and the first titty bar I've EVER been to was at Maximus...yea I know lucky me. The girls there were

Went back there for 7 level school in '01....the chicks at Maximus were much better looking the 2nd time around and I didn't have to walk around with a big *** X on my hand.

Actually Sheppard wasn't that bad and I had some fun. I know it's corny to say but it really is what you make of it.
