Yeah, lots of classy locals... My tire got slashed (have a USAF plate), bro's have recently been jumped leaving local establishments late at night, and other less big-ticket issues have occurred. In all honesty, a lot of locals are fairly obvious in their contempt towards the Air Force.
That said, there are some decent people around, but it seems like that number is shrinking. Can't wait to GTFO of here (hopefuly).
As to making the best of the location, shack. There's stuff to do around here, you just have to look for it.
Finally, WRT living on base, can an old-cranium help me out with this one. I'm due to finish UPT in a month (assuming I don't fuck up between now and then). I hate this dorm. What regs should I reference to get out of here for the time between grad and whatever my follow on is? (drop in 3 weeks, I'll have a better idea of whether or not it's worth moving out then)
