Anyone been stationed at Mountain Home AFB?
Looks like that is where we are going next. It's just a hop, skip, and a jump from Malmstrom, but at least it's warmer. Good thing we like outdoor activities. Plus, I have heard Boise's cool and the housing on base is nice. Anyone else been there?
Re: Anyone been stationed at Mountain Home AFB?
I wish...
I miss mountains.
Yeah, my only experience has been a whitewater rafting trip on the Snake River. That was fun. Ironically, I told my son as we were rafting down the river, "I wouldn't mind living here." Got home a few days later and dh said he was told that is where we are going next. I thought it was a pretty state. I guess I've just gotten used to moving so far every PCS that this is a little anticlimactic, but it really did look like it was a beautiful state.
I was stationed there for 5.5 years. Boise is really great and the mountains are nice to travel to, especially Sun Valley. If you are into outdoorsy things it'll be your kind of heaven LOL There are great ski/snowboarding runs in ID. I would suggest trying to NOT live on base. The town of Mt Home is a good 20 min drive from base and Boise is another 30-40 min on top of that, depending on where you are going. DH and I have decided that if we get stationed there again, we will bite the bullet and live in Boise. I need more that the BX and a Walmart to sustain me. Bc that is ALL that there is near base, a Walmart, 4 McDonalds, 8 bars, 10 Mexican restaurants, a Maurice's, and a couple Subways. And no, I am not making that up. Plus Boise has the Greenbelt which is awesome for biking and hiking. Oh and if you like wine, there are a couple of good wineries really close that you can tour.
I can try to answer any other questions you might have, if you'd like?
I have some good friends who've been stationed there, and I drove through once on my way to Oregon. You guys are really pulling the remote conus locations, aren't you?
Seriously, there's nothing there. I stopped for gas and was shocked at how little there was. I do know people who plan on retiring there bc they loved it so much, but I know as many who were thankful they got the hell out. To them, Misawa (where I met them) was a metropolitan city. In reality, it was a town of 40,000 people who only spoke Japanese, in the middle of nowhere rice farming land.
At least skiing isn't too far away?
holy *** babe, fancy seeing you here!!
OMFG!! I was just thinking yesterday that you had to be on here somewhere!! LOL
