In regard to this complex I would never live there. I hated base life but I was stationed on Marine bases where you are a Marine 24/7 ,so wear your belt on liberty son or the camp guard or the MPs will give you a violation that will be sent to the 1StSgt. Hopefully they will run this complex like an Air Force base. NICE!
Do they play reveille every morning and taps at night?
is there any statistics about how many military personal take early retirement?....
Thanks for posting.
When you think of all the vets that end up homeless because of the lack of support systems, this place sounds wonderful. Good for them!
I loved base life, yes some of the rules are a pain, but I would love to move back on base , and be in the military than in this civilian world,
Living on Air Force bases for many years I say unless this housing complex can recreate the wonderful noise of 24/7 flightline operations with jet noise and the smell of burning JP4 all over then I don't want to go.
The thing I miss a lot is the continuous running of the B-52, KC-135A, or even the B-1B engines; either on the aircraft or being run in the Test Cell. The smell of the burning JP4 was an aphrodisiac to me. I loved it.
What an awesome concept! Glad someone came up with this.
A very well-meaning idea, and I hope it takes off and is successful. I understand completely about the veterans of 1975-2001 vintage, I’m one. We, for the longest time didn’t even exist. Even Desert Shield/Storm vets got marginal recognition beyond the first few years after the Gulf War ended. Anyone remember the men that participated in the Panama invasion in 1989? I do, since my unit sent troops there. SFOR Bosnia? SFOR Sinai? Meals-on-Wheels for the country of XYZ? Government job applications of all-levels asked only if you were a ‘Nam-era vet, no others mattered.
Military schmilitary—this is a nice model in general.
