It's also one of those places where turtles and birds have more rights than humans. We took routine motorcycle trips on the road and late night romps in the sports car but just be careful. Lots of blown sand across the road and the speed limits are low. Even lower during bird nesting season.

You must sit in a different queue than I do. Main gate from 1530-1730 is gridlocked. I don't even try to leave during this time window as it takes me 45-60 minutes, without fail, and I'm east of the bridge. I will say that the morning traffic is almost non-existent now (precluding accidents) most days regardless of time. The evening traffic is atrocious. To put it into perspective, it takes me 15 minutes door-to-door during the wee hours in the morning or if I flew the midnight land time sortie. Here's to hoping that the OR survey will yield improved traffic flow.

I can't speak to the family piece as I have no kids, but FWB and Mary Esther tend to have older homes. That being said, I would much rather live in the FWB/ME area over Navarre right now given the commute time and proximity to the Destin Pass. I fish offshore so anytime I could shave off my commute while still being faster offshore is a win/win. If I could do it all over I would have purchased a smaller/older home in Destin. We were actually looking to purchase a home in Destin with water access but that has since dried up given that we'll be heading to our white jet tour.

Overpass hasn't done shit. I am moving away from Navarre this summer. Shoot me a PM if you want info on our house.

Guam is a poor man's Hawaii. If you think you could live in Kaneohe for 2 years you can do Guam. People that hate Guam tend to fall into two categories: those who hate the ocean and those who would hate anywhere they are stationed just because they are miserable.

Thanks for the insight! The wife talked about getting a tiny home when Clovis was on the table but we have too much shit and our "storage" unit would end up being the size of an average condo so we'll probably bypass base housing. Not to mention I don't want to play their stupid games. Are there any areas of the city/town that we should definitely avoid? Is there any kind of bar scene or do most people throw house parties?

Just got word (no RIP or orders yet) from the Sq/CC that we'll be heading to Laughlin to instruct T-38's. Anybody there now that could help me out with the local area brief? Specifically wondering where I should start looking regarding a place to live. I do boat and fish offshore so I'll be taking our center console to fish out of Port Aransas so I'm thinking a lakefront place might be nice. Cheers

Anybody have contacts in the skydiving industry? Specifically looking for somebody that owns a DZ or provides the lift service.

In case you haven't purchased or already made up your mind...

Those frames weren't bent jumping.

US won't allow it. You have a better chance of getting an MRAP on the streets.

I would stay well clear of the Power Wagon.

As a Raptor owner, I have no remorse in saying that if you don't need to tow often or tow heavy...get a Tacoma. If it needs to be a full-size, F-150 is the only way to go.

Audio clip of Navy Master Chief grilling people on ship. Quite entertaining to listen to but I wouldn't want to be a part of a crew doing that shit. https://clyp.it/l0pro1r2

https://www.casio-usa.com/products/Watches/PRO_TREK/PAW2000T-7/ It's a stainless case but the band is titanium. Got one four years ago and it only comes off my wrist when I need to go GQ. The automatic timehack is money bags for CONUS flying but you won't get a signal in AFG or other similar AORs. It's a great watch though, super durable and I get asked about it all the time.

Are you mil-mil? If not, then why not GTFO of the thread and move into the squadron bar NSFW topic. I am no pro when it comes to join spouse shit but if you are considering pilot to pilot and have questions drop me a PM for real world examples.

Sig'd.

There are Omega watches that cost 20k+...15 grand on a group order is chump change.

“Mullen’s got guys over there who are fixing meals for him, and I’m shoving something into the microwave. And I’m his boss.” Boo-######ing hoo.

Normal -- don't let your steed sit for so long next time, it's bad for you and the bike!

Raw deal -- happy to see you made it out alive though.
