Info on flight boots
I've been wearing mine at Minot since I got here and some bros have them as well. I know some paperwork was moving up to get them AFGSC approved (no idea what the progress is), but I've never been told I can't wear them.

Possible evacuations in Minot
New projections are saying 1566' and enlarging the evacuation zones. Also rumor has it the dam in Canada broke.

Possible evacuations in Minot
It's not affecting the base directly (besides there being a small lake off the approach end of 29) but in town is pretty bad. Flood Mapping 1562' That shows where the water is expected at 1562' but the city is expecting between 1563-1565' from what I've heard.

Huey down at Kirtland
I know two on the crew. Glad everyone walked away.

USAA
I'm putting in an offer on a house tomorrow morning and from everything I've heard here and locally from my realtor and squadron bros who used USAA, I'm getting financing elsewhere.

Gun Talk
I agree. I didn't like the feel of the glocks and ended up getting an XD9 subcompact and an XD45 service. Both are great guns, but I'd get whatever feels good in your hands (STS).

Kirtland AFB info
Yea it's not that great of an area, but it's a quick drive to base. You'll probably have deal with renting furniture. I stayed at Broadstone High Desert and I think I had a 42" tv.

Kirtland AFB info
Yes, they are fully furnished and include utilities. I didn't have a non-A during my TDY, so I split an apartment at Broadstone High Desert with a buddy. It was $80/day, so we paid $1/day out of pocket, which was well worth it. If you get a non-A, your per diem ($81/day) should cover it. If the price is a bit higher, you might be able to negotiate with Luella to get it down to whatever per diem will cover.

Ft Rucker info
I lived in Enterprise which was a 20 minute drive. I'd say a good majority of people live on Rucker (if you can get your own place). There's nice townhomes at the 84/85 intersection right outside Cairns and also Asbury Oaks (not the nicest, but cheap) which are quick 5 minute drives.
