Bad to Worse?

you wouldn't recognize it..... I have been stationed here 3 times and it has changed and grown so much , I barely recognize it.
Basic training was closed here in 1996.

The cavalry left to Ft. Carson, then just came back in 2005. Of course Air Defense is still here, but it's getting scattered. I'm being transferred to Ft. Hood at the end of the month and then to Iraq in Jan '07


Heard some bad things about Ft Hood back in my day, but that's a bygone era, and I'm sure sunny Iraq has got to be the worst! Hey, man, stay alert, and find some BFRs and BFTs!!!! Keep us posted, and ALL THE BEST! :grinthumb

Hello everyone

I live in Vermont, US, about 9 miles northwest of Middlebury. That is in central VT near Lake Champlain. Anyone in the neighborhood?

I met a girl whilst at Cornell in 1970 - we drove up to Stowe to spend the weekend. What a time!! You are in beautiful Vermont. Good luck :)
 
My residence is a gaussian wave function spread over a 50-mile-wide region centered on mid-western Ohio, USA. Quantum mechanics, baby!

As for who I live near...I live near all the people who live near me, but not so near to the people who live far away from me.

Thats the best quote I have ever heard so far!! Cheers :bounce:
 
Hmm well I'm a little late to the thread. But oh well. I live in my little house, smack dab in the middle of a little town in the middle (upper middle) of Arizona, USA.

My nearest recognizable landmark would probably be Embry Riddle University. I'm near Gunsite also, a couple hours south of the Grand Canyon if you drive fast. And I'm 2 minutes from a Whopper with cheese :)

In 1994, nearby Prescott was voted the #1 retirement community.

So there, learn how to fly, learn to shoot, eat a few whoppers, then retire. What more do you need?

I live in Wisconsin in the US just a short drive south of the Dells. :angel:

Are there dunes near there (the Dells)? Seems like a friend of mine who used to live up there said something about dune-buggying at the Dells. ??? :wave:
 
Vigilante: I lived in Prescott for a year about 10 years ago.

I am embarrassed to say it, but I loved it there! ;)
 
Why?

Why embarrassed? I was born and raised in New Mexico, and spent many years working (paving) in NM and AZ. All parts of both have a unique beauty, both in nature and in philosophy. In fact, IMHO, NM and AZ ARE the Southwest- all others are pretenders to that title. Unique, and enchanting!

BTW, how'd ya end up up over there? None of my business, of course, just curious. :D
 
The weather around Prescott is the best around. Very mild summers AND winters. Occasionally snow but it never stays on the ground long enough to do anything. Freezes a lot at night. But most people come up here from California or Phoenix to get this fresh country air. And the nice weather.
Unfortunately, being the desert and all, there is not to much water.

Personally I think it's getting pretty crowded up here.
 
No sand dunes if that is what you are saying but they do have some great places to rent dune-buggies, ATV and racing go-karts. :grinthumb

I was on a work visa with a managament consulting company. Prescott is quite a magical place. I loved the weather there. Hot, yes, but nice and dry. The winters were actually a little too cold, but then again, I am from northern B.C., Canada so it wasn't THAT cold. :cool:
 
ummmm......
