I'd suggest staying as far away from any base in texas as possible. You want Eglin or Hurlburt or if you like mountains Buckley, Hill, or Kirtland.

 

Travis is an hour + away from Thunderhill and Sears Point (aka infineon raceway) and about 2+ hours away from Laguna Seca.
2 hours from snow skiing and an hour away from surf.

 

When I was going through basic it was either this or CE for those that didn't secure a job beforehand.

Eglin is alright if you like beaches and partying. Tampa/Orlando is 6 hours away, Panama City is about an hour. You're going to be driving 4 to 5 hours at a minimum to find a racetrack, though. And there aren't any autox events closer than Mobile, AL. There is at least a decent sized mazda crew locally, though most of them are MS3/6 owners.

 

If you chose CE you can goto Travis, they have a pretty big CE squadron there, and just like what Joe Mama said.

 

The Texas tracks are great and all, but I'd pick-up and move to Cali if it weren't for the "socialist government taxing it's residents into poverty" thing.

 

With the USAF's current DEP, nobody signs their exact contract till the day they ship out, so you're not 100% correct. I may pick security forces, I have tons of friends in it, its a love it or hate it job. My general pick was mechanical so if I get nothing picked before I leave to basic, I'll still end up in the mechanical field afterwards...

In all honesty, I don't care much about the first job as long as it's not completely a waste as I will cross-train once I can to something with a TSC.

All in all, what I'm trying to say is, my Enlistment Contract gets signed the day before shipping out and I hope to God I'll have a secured AFSC on it (beforehand we all just signed a preliminary contract at meps)

 

And once again, thanks to everyone giving me all the info about all these bases. It'll definitely help putting together my dream-sheet.

 

What's stopping you from getting a TS/SCI job now?

 

PM'd you kotomile.

 

I had some "disorderly conduct" incidents prevent me from taking certain jobs my first enlistment. Everyone does dumb **** when they're a kid. I still rule at life.

 

Sometimes its for BS reasons.

A good friend of mine was re-classed to supply when they saw a GTA on his record. The reason for the GTA is when he was 18, he took off after a heated arguement with his parents, the car wasnt in his name and they reported it stolen.
