i am stationed at minot and love it. if somebody says "it sucks" they probably have never been here. most people i know who have been here have had a great time. now for a single guy, you have to work a little harder...but there are plenty of locals and basers to go around. no matter where you go though, it is what you make of it. if you have a bad attitude, then your time here will suck. plus the mighty BUFF is here!
