As another female, I think you need to get over yourself.

Pilot lifestyle - What to expect
Ok, I'm trying to play nice (which is damn hard to do), so here goes: What works for one person, may or may not work for another person.

Conduct in uniform (PDA)
Was your husband in Blues? Reason why I ask is this: You said that while you were stationed at the UPT base, everyone was cool. Chances are that most of the time you are hanging out with these people, they were in Flight suites. While there are rules and regs about PDA in flight suites, when you are a flight suite, it's pretty lax. Plus, chances are you might have been at the club or squadron bar or something along those lines where it wasn't "formal-ish" Now, if he was in blues, chances are he was in a more "formal-ish" setting, and that's why you get "yelled" at. I don't think the major had any right to yell at YOU, he/she should have taken your husband aside and said something, IMO. My husband has been in for 11yrs, he has "different" personallities in each uniform. If he's in blues, he's very rigid, by the book, and no touching at all. If he's in his BDU's, he's the same, only he'll give me a hug if we are parting ways or something, but he will not hold my hand or anything. Now, if he is in his Flight suite... He'll put his arm around me or hold my hand. I hope that answers some of your questions. Keep in mind, some people are more lax on issues then others.

Civilian Gate Guards
I've lived on Base for the past two years, and I have to say that most (not all) of teh gate guards here at Vance are either: A) Retired Military B) "Active" Army/Air National Guard, and this is their job when they aren't deployed or doing drill. C) Are Police Officers or Sherrifs, and this is their second job. Most of the guys/gals here are very curtious and friendly. They do their job well, and if you get a "pissy" gate guard, well it's propbably the fault of one of your pompous co-workers.

Remote to Korea
Ello! - Who is able to get stationed at Korea? Can it be anyone (heavy/fighter) or just fighter? - If you are able to make it a 3yr tour, can one bring his/her dogs (along with the spouse, of course!)? Thanks!

Working spouses/jobs
Ditto what KM said, also, if she isn't opposed to a commute, she could always commute to a job, Like if you were stationed at Vance, she could commute to OKC, Tulsa, or Witchita.

Smart phone
THanks Mike and C-17 Flyer. I'm going to call Sprint today, and see what they say. I tried looking up contracts online, but I couldn't find a damn thing!

Smart phone
I'm totally thread-jacking here... Has anyone used PCS orders to get out of their cell phone contract? (There was a thread about this... somewhere... I can't find it!) We're moving, and we have Sprint. According to Sprints homepage, the coverage in the area we will be at is either no coverage or "fair." I called Sprint and asked the CSR, but she seemed clueless as to the questions I was asking. I'm sorry for posting this question here, I can't find that thread anywhere! (and it's 4:45am, and I haven't gone to bed yet! :>) Thanks!

Marriage/wedding - Best time to Marry?
Now, I didn't get married in a catholic church.. But, You might still have to go through "counseling" and/or take a "are you compatable together'' test and what have you before they will "marry" you again. Your best bet would be to ask the priest who is going to marry you what HIS requierments are, and go from there.

Hale Koa Hotel & the USS Arizona Memorial
I LOVED the Dole Plantation! It should be open too!!! I stayed at the Hale Koa for my honeymoon, and it was BEAUTIFUL! We had one wall that was a huge glass wall, and it was alll water views!!!!! AMAZING!!!! We also did the Pearl Harbor tour... very very touching... amazing.. I suggest that every American do that tour at least once in their life.... We didn't do any "special" for military only tour.. we did the typical tourist tour.

Active Duty at a Guard Base?
I guess they aren't taking any more UPT grads till the squadron is in works. The only reason why I asked, is because I would like to get contact info on the spouses.. see who gets where first (I know out of the UPT guys, we're the first ones to PSC there....)-- maybe they can get info for new AD families coming to pease and have you.. My intentions are good, I swear.

Active Duty at a Guard Base?
Does anyone know what the deal is with the AD going to Guard bases? I was told that the "program" was on hold for a year... Anyone have any information on this new deal? Thanks in advance

Vance AFB information
The Pediatrician on base is really good, from what I hear. Are you high risk? If so, Dr. McFadden is a great DR. Dr.Parker--580-242-3870 (he just delivered my neighbor's baby) and Dr. Weaver ( he is my GYNO.. I adore him.. if I was to get PG, I would fly back just to see him..)--580-233-1100 are all really good DR's. Keuchel David M DO--(580) 237-7280
