chief's first words to me when I got there was, "Oh, another one?" They didn't even know I was coming. They definitely didn't pay enough for their airmen to live off base, so I had to work a second job. Plus a 2 year wait for base housing if you had 1 child. Almost no camaraderie, maybe one or two good friends.
Even though it was my worst assignment, I liked the Phoenix area and lived here since (except for a short stint in California from 2001-2004).

Dude, I think this is a repost but anyway...
Favorite: Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Kaneohe Bay, HI
Worst: Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Kaneohe Bay, HI :-D
I actually enjoyed the 1 year remote I spent at Osan AB ROK
Worst assignment? Keesler AFB (after the lab flunked their audit and MAJCOM re-inspection) :roll:
Best assignment, Wurtsmith AFB, MI...I enjoy hunting and fishing, so this was a great place to be..
Worst..well, I've actually liked all my assignments, even the remote to Korea. I've been blessed with good bosses and great co-workers over more than 34 years (yeah, I joined the USAF in '73 to avoid the draft :-D ).
So remember, "To err is human, to forgive is not SAC policy"

Cherry Point NC for the best
New River is the worst
