Best eats in town are places like Alamo Cafe, Tomatillo's, Mama Margie's, and La Pasadita.
Chaco's is where it's at.
And y'all havent even mentioned some of the cool things to do like going to Fiesta/NIOSA.

God I love Chacho's. Haven't been there in a minute and my waistline thanks me for it
Also love Las Palapas. Work right next door to one.

Good point. Actually I still need to take Aggiebelle to Fiesta. She entered the homebody stage of the pregnancy a few weeks back, though (and we're already homebodies to begin with
).

Back to OP: if you do make it down to the Countdown City, hit me up and we'll break bread
The door to La Casa de Tbird is always open.
Thanks buddy.
I have a formal application in to take a special duty there. I can't seem to get out of Mountain Home to save my life. Back in 2015 I applied for a special duty down to Gunter AFB in Montgomery.
I didn't have the required 48 months TOS but my Wing CC was willing to sign a waiver for me. I called the listing POC to ask where I should send the memorandum and was told she had talked to AFPC and they weren't accepting any waivers because they had plenty of non-vols to "burn through" before they would take one.
I was the only volunteer, twice, and the job was vacant for a year.
They made some poor dude from Whiteman go instead and he didn't want to go. How fricked up is that?

Had a friend up at MH trying everything he could to get out. Met him at my first duty station when he finally succeeded: Altus AFB

Gunter AFB
My dad's second duty station. MY parents met at their first (Keesler AFB) then my dad drove back and forth from Gunter to Maxwell AFB when mom got stationed there (I was born at Maxwell).

Oh that's messed up
I didn't mind Whiteman quite as much as Altus, but I would have been livid if Gunter was my reward for my longsuffering Posted on 5/25/17 at 10:51 am to TbirdSpur2010

Don't get me wrong, MH is not that bad, but it's too far away from our family.

frick. That.

I went to ALS at Maxwell. I was stationed at Columbus, but it's so small they only hold two in-residence courses there a year. I got that Levitow though.
I've been to Gunter for training courses though. It's tiny, but I was willing to go there just to get closer to home for my wife and kids. They are tired of the cold. It hit -14 up here this winter.

I currently have "Worldwide Short" as the only thing on my dream sheet thinking I could get Turkey or Korea and get a follow-on to either Florida or San Antonio.
Assignments dropped Friday night. I didn't get one.

Man, I couldn't believe how shitty my luck was to get that right off the bat. My dad was stationed at Vance AFB when I was a kid--already knew what a hellhole Altus was

All three Oklahoma bases are shite.

True
But my God, Altus, America will make you look longingly at Sheppard and Tinker AFB.
We'd visit friends there to have a good time

Jesus there are plenty of eligible/attractive females in this town
Latinas in SA and soccer moms along 281 and stone oak will compete with any women in the world, bar none.
and to answer the OP. i hate big cities with a passion. but i could do SA if you put a gun to my head. by far the best traffic, people, and overall family environment of the 4 big cities.

Really shitty NBA team
Even if you're joking, you'd best watch your mouth son.
Los Spurs are the one real NBA team in the state.

Alamo Cafe
This used to be our team post game meal spot for football games in San Antonio.
Their chicken fried steak and buttered tortillas are the best around.

SA demographic is comparable to Houston and Austin. If you think different, you're lying to yourself. Same type of folks.
Disagree completely. Just utterly, fundamentally disagree. I've lived in all 3 places, as an adult, and SA is not as good as Houston and not even in the same universe as Austin when it comes to a scene for fine 20-something females. Does SA just absolutely completely demolish Altus, OK? YES! Is it in any way, shape, or form anywhere near on par with Austin? No.

Then it would appear that we have reached an impasse.

I completely disagree. I reject your assertion on its face.

I wasn't comparing SA to Altus. Where'd you come up with that nonsense?
