It all depends on what you like and what your job is, im an aircraft mechanic so my past experiences, planes at the bases, and deplyment schedules also factor in to the equation.

If I had a different job, id probably stay here forever because of the area, all the fishing and hunting you could ever ask for.

Depends on what you like to do on your off time.

Wait... ^^^ You're in LRAFB? I agree about this base though, I'm not a hunting or fishing kinda person so its been hell being in "The Rock" for over 6 years.

Not much man wife's BOP just got denied so looks like we will be here a bit longer.. You I never thought I would be here this long, esp. after crosstraining. But I guess I'll have to rid it out till the end of my "sentence" here and hope for someplace better

Stay away from Cannon. I hoard all my money and time into my car cuz theres nothing else to do, so i guess it kinda works out

IMO, as far as what bases to stay away from goes, it all depends on exactly what your looking for as well as your goals i.e. partying and/or education. I'm not going to say which bases to stay away from because you may end up liking them or hating them more than I may have. What I will say is that where ever you get stationed at, take the bad with the good and make the best of things. If you don't like that base, you could always update your dream sheet with which ever Bases are showing that they have a slot open for your AFSC on the AMS (Assignment Management System). Thanks for joining the AF and best of luck with your future...

Oh yeah and one more thing, if you get orders to Beale AFB in California, just know that it is not near any beach. I'm orignally from California and I knew this before coming here but although there isn't much to do here (Big city person wise), I'm enjoying the fact that I can concentrate on my education without any distractions.

If you are single (or I guess even if you are married for some bases), go overseas and avoid stateside. It is the main reason I joined the military... plus OCONUS bases are a completely different atmosphere.

Yeah, I dont like it here but im trying to make the best of it. I get out in april

Cannon was my 1st base and it pretty much sucked. Stay away from that one.

Spangdahlem was my 2nd base and it was BAD ***! I would go back in a second. The base is very fast paced and there is a ton of work but the awesome "European experaince" far outweighs the long hours.

Osan is a blast if you like to party hard

I'm at Davis-Monthan now and I love it here. The weather is great and if you're single it's awesome. The U of A is here in Tucson so the night life is super fun.

My advise is to go over seas for your first assignment. Don't try to go back home to be close to Mommy and Daddy get out and see the world, thats the best part of being int he military.

I'd say pick Luke AFB, it's in Phoenix arizona, or Nellis AFB, it's in Vegas. I'm currently at Holloman AFB, which is in Alamogordo, NM. Small town, an hour north of El Paso, TX. We just had an assignment team come down, and i get 1st pick on where i want to go tomorrow. I chose Nellis out of Beale, Nellis, Creech, DM, Mt Home, Moody, Edwards, and Burlington VT<---Guard base only like 10 Active duty on the whole place, but no BX, comissary, or dorms....nada...it's all off the local economy.

Dyess seems to be the topic of discussion lately... I was deployed with some guys from there and just got back 3 weeks ago. I'll be sure to avoid that base at all costs.

If it works anything like the Navy, just put the exact opposite of where you want to go and you will get hooked up nicely, lol.

It's picked up a little. The town isn't that great but the beach is close and then you got Raleigh and Greenville

Nellis would be my absolute last pick off of that list. Hell, I liked Holloman better than Nellis. Pick DM or Beale and thank me in a few months.

"Deal " with any CONUS base, then as soon as you can:

Get to:

UK (Lakenheath/Mildenhall)
Gemany (Spangdhalm/Ramstein)
Italy (Aviano)
Spain (Moran AB)
Japan (Okinawa)
Korea (Osan/Kusan)

The MONEY (dare I say), is overseas. The CONUS bases are crap for the most part!

Surprised I haven't seen anyone mention Cannon...

Edit: Looked again and saw a couple people mention it. I've heard horror stories about Cannon. And now they want to move some Preds/Reapers out there. Talk about a kick in the nuts for those pilots...first they get stuck in a UAV...then they get stuck in Cannon...
