Sorry man, just kidding. At least you can get good chili and... and ... , I can't think of anything else.
I'm projected to get stationed at Cannon AFB. Time to cross my fingers and try to call in some favors.

The only thing worse than having to come live in NM is having to live i SE NM. Jesus Christ that part of the world is a hole.
I guess at least it's not Nebraska.
What really sucks is, my wife and I were obviously pretty bummed, but we are optimistic people so we try to go online to find things to do. And we read stuff like this:
http://www.topix.com/forum/city/cann...PDT21H513N/p18
Especially coming from Honolulu. And what sucks worse, is that if you've seen me post pics of my kid on here, you'd see he needs plastic surgery for his eyes. The closest place that performs the surgery he would need? Albuquerque, about four hours away. ity .My husband and I PCSed here from New Jersey over a year go. This is our first base. When he told me how bad he was told this base was, I told him no it has to be nice. I was dead wrong. I remember actually crying an hour after we got off the puddle jumper plane. A month after being here, found out I was pregnant. Never listen to anyone who says this is a nice place to raise a family, because it's not. The number of registered sex offenders makes me want to throw up. Usually I'm okay with people admiring my baby in public, but not out here. Makes me skin crawl to think it could be a pedophile. I understand they are everywhere but damn the amount that are in this small of a town is ridiculous. I'd rather walk alone at night in Atlantic City, NJ than go to Walmart by myself, that is VERY sad if you have ever heard of A.C in NJ. The crime rate is beyond ridiculous. It seems that every other teenage girl you walk by is pregnant because they don't teach sex education out here. You'd think as religious as they are out here, they'd teach they're kids to not have premarital sex, or at least use birth control. If you are a spouse looking for work, expect to only find minimum wage jobs out here, because face it, there isn't a damn thing out here for you to do. For the single airman, if you are 21 and older, ALCOHOL. I find it funny too they tell you 'there's things to do, just drive 2 hours away!' or how about NOT. Sorry but I shouldn't have to drive that far away for a damn Victoria's Secret, Target, or Olive Garden. Too bad the shifty fifty never thought that maybe putting a Target up would increase job opportunities and get less people off having to depend on welfare out here. My husband and I were both excited to find out he got orders to deploy so we both could get out of this hole for a few months and regain some of our sanity. But I should say the honest and nice locals, I have no problem with. It's the drugged out white trash people who make this place a crap hole. If you get orders here, pray they won't be for long.
Well, we'll see if leadership can do anything... here's where I get to see if making NCO of the year for the squadron is worth a damn.
What's wrong with it, son? I don't know AFBs too well
I am guessing you are either AFSOC or supporting AFSOC which means you will be deploying a lot more =P. If you want to know more about the area let me know, it was my first duty station starting 2004 and yes I am out of that hole now.
Ha! No, I'm ing comm. Former 3C2, now 3D1X2. And they don't even have me projected for the Comm Squad (which would be a heck of a demotion considering I'm the main infrastructure guy for the base here at Hickam)... they project me for the Maintenance Group. No idea why. Of course, since the only thing that base does is Spec Ops, yes I assume I'll be deploying more often.
If I can't find my way out of it, you can rest assured that I'll be vol'ing for every special duty that pops up on AMS as soon as I hit the 1 1/2 year mark.
Edit: At least San Antonio is only 9 hours away, so the wife can take the kids to see her parents for a week or so when she loses all hope, instead of just divorcing me outright.
Sounds like a primo place to start a crystal meth addiction.
Who did you piss off?
Wow. That thread you linked is comedy gold
Before relocating to Clovis NM you should check out -::- Welcome to CriminalCheck.com -::-. The zip code for Clovis is 88101.
I have lived in Clovis for over a year now and I can honestly say that the horror stories are true. The only people that will say different are the local realtors and that’s because they are trying to push their extremely overpriced homes.
Using the population number provided by clairz of 32,000 and divided by the number of registered sex offenders in Clovis you get 1 in 450.
1 out of 450 is a registered sex offender.I'm possible one of the unfortunate individuals that will be forced to move from Hurlburt to Clovis. I know a base is what you make of it but I also know when you have as many complaints as I have read and heard from people who have been stationed there it has to be some truth. They all are saying the same thing matter-of-fact had a good friend just got back from out there and he confirmed it is all true and the place is a hole. I believe someone got paid off to keep the place open. If 3/4 of the housing is not up to military standards what the do they think the newly assigned GI's are going to do for housing. I will not give up my money to live in a crack house and as for the housing market it seems all they did was look at the housing prices in florida and applied it to the housing market there. News flash!!! those prices are for FLORIDA!!!! a place with a more to offer!!!! like a beach you stupid s who do you think is going to pay that type of money to live in a hole!!!!! Shifty 50 has been breathing in to much horse,pig,cow, !!!!!!Anyone that post about this town being a quiet, rural, down home, ever growing town is full of it. An organization runs this entire town (the shifty 50), they regualte whether or not a chilis can come into town for 5 years. Talk about growth huh? Local business owners monopolize everything and cut off corporate growth at the knees. The town itself stinks, run down housing, horrid living conditions, and god awful prices for rent (because if your mil, they know what your making). Everything is a monopoly...even the local radio station. Where 2 fools play the same late 80's early 90's music on repeat 24/7. They also own the other 2 radio stations in town and do commercials for everyone. Education system (in the low 5% of the united states)...graduation rate (45%), teen pregnancy rate (65%). Drug running from texas to nevada and california...perfect place for gangs because small town cops dont have the resources and dont want to deal with it. And the mall is called "the hall" because once you walk in from anyside and you can see every store in plain sight. If Cannon closed down...this town would go under...the base has a higher enrollment rate in all the local schools and all the stores get the base pops income. And after hours probably 1/3 employees in a local store are from base or spouses.This place sucks unless you are an hick-ass fundamentalist Christian. There are signs on the way to base reminding us to be in church when Jesus comes (golly, I certainly hope he doesn't come on a Tuesday).
That's bad when the best thing one can say about a town is that San Antonio is only 9 hours away.Ha! No, I'm ing comm. Former 3C2, now 3D1X2. And they don't even have me projected for the Comm Squad (which would be a heck of a demotion considering I'm the main infrastructure guy for the base here at Hickam)... they project me for the Maintenance Group.

TyreeJ1,and Reality, you guys are not too bright are you. I bet you are from a low income family and grew up in some ghetto. Did any of you even graduate. Probably not because you joined the military. They will take any half wit ghetto child from the projects. Don't talk about my town. We a re good people here. We have morals and values. And that is something you probably can't even spell. Tyree...what kind of name is that? I can only guess that your skin tone is much darker than mine. If you don't like Clovis, then go back to the hood a sell crack on the street corner like your mother does. We don't want you here. Maybe if you could afford a 3000 sq ft house in Shertz, we could get rid of you you broke son-of-a- . Warming up...i think not....go cool off with a Colt 45 or what ever your kind drinks.
So the AFB is located in Clovis, New Mexico right?
That's some upgrade from Hawaii? My sincere regards man..
BTW when you type Clovis, New Mexico in Google News, all you find is pedophiles, rape, murder and battery.
That was 90210esque.
Sounds like the town in breaking bad where Walt set that bomb off in tucos office.
Sorry dude.
What's the shifty fifty?
Hah, sucks to be you. Best moment of my life was when BRAC brought the ban hammer down on that hole and shipped out the 16s. It's just a shame the base stayed open, keeping that backwater gottown alive.
Oh man, I am sorry. We were stuck at Edwards for a while and that was bad, but it wasn't Cannon bad. Pull every string you can!
ROFLMAO!!! My father was stationed at Cannon AFB and was part of the Comm Squadron there.Ha! No, I'm ing comm. Former 3C2, now 3D1X2. And they don't even have me projected for the Comm Squad (which would be a heck of a demotion considering I'm the main infrastructure guy for the base here at Hickam)... they project me for the Maintenance Group.

For the record, once you get past the smell it can be ok. Then again I was a kid when I was there and everything is sunshine and rainbows when you are a kid. As far as the pregnant girls, it is probably true. Think about it... you are young, hormones are raging and there isn't anything you can do to distract you in a small ass town. Might as well get to in. Will you be staying on base or off base?
I'm sure with some advanced metrics it'll all turn out alright
Service Before Self tbh
Damn that blows. I went to Carlsbad about a month ago and all those towns just suck. Plain and simple. The hiking was fun but Christ there's no way I could live there
Edwards doesn't seem like it would be that bad to me. I know it's desolate as there but at least you're close enough to make some awesome day trips to places like Lone Pine and the Eastern Sierra, Death Valley, Big Bear, Joshua Tree, and LA, or even Las Vegas for a couple of days. I mean you could actually have an enjoyable weekend there unless you can't afford a car. Cannon AFB just sounds like though; Lubbock is the best day trip?
