From one of the ex IG guys I work w/, he said Cheyenne Mt is a very nice station. You could always come back to Minot w/ me ha ha! I also know someone that was at Great Falls and said it was horrible...

Go to Cheyenne Mt man. The wife and I just tried like hell to get out there because they were asking for missile silo baby sitter or something and I tried getting in on it but it filled up too fast. I just like that area out there a lot.. very nice housing out there too.

Yea, I dont know if you have family, but the housing here at Minot is top notch since you left. Its going slow though... They told us to tell our inbounds, 12-24 months... But when you do get a house, they are the best I've seen in the AF... I think they're trying to do that for all the houses at the bases in remote spots...

Actually I beleive its Air Force wide. Moody isn't nothing special and we're getting all new housing. Like houses that look to be in the $130,000 to $200,000 range depending on your dependent status anyway.

If I was to go get a BOP I'd go or stay in the Southeast.

Really? One guy I knew that was stationed there said its pretty terrible too. Windy and still a ton of snow. He said it wasn't much different there, but actually said there was more to do here, believe it or not...

there are a few others, but it's like Cape, you have to know someone who know's someone who know's someone to get a job and most are positions are for Tech and up... those are pretty much the only 3 bases to choose from for us 2mox2's
