I figured the OP was talking about NMM when I read the title. On the subject of RAG locations, since I haven't had any luck searching, is MCAS Beaufort an option for Navy guys? I know Miramar is....
It iswhat you make of it, and from most of the corpus guys I talked to krock isnt any better. Go to pcola and new orleans on the weekends and you wont mind this place that much, or just go helos or p-3s and your problem is solved
.
There is no RAG at MCAS Beaufort. VFA-86 is however located there but rumored to be going to Lemoore in the future.

yes and no. Beaufort Navy squadron VFA-86 is now attached to CVW-11 (west coast CAG) and a fleet squadron. So yes you can get Beaufort after FRS. And it is a good deal IMOA. Only Navy squadron on base, great flying, no drysuits, area not too bad either. Latest MAP has them staying in Beaufort.
On a side note, nice profile picture...considering I took that picture in my fleet tour in 2001.

Yeah, never did like that pic
Each place is what you make of it. Lemoore, while being blisteringly hot, dry, dusty, and constantly smelling like cows, was not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I enjoyed my time. Granted, this largely depends on the people you are flying with and what you like doing in your free time. Plenty of hiking, national parks, and coastal towns are within an easy drive for a weekend.
Nah, it's really quite simple.
And Lemoore? You must have not been to that Mexican restaurant El Tarasco yet. Right in heart of greater downtown Lemoore, just over the tracks. Good stuff.
I used to live there as well because my dad was stationed there.
By far, the best Mexican restaraunt I have ever been to is Senor Pancho's in Lemoore. I have never found anything that comes close to it. If any of you get "stuck" in Lemoore, you have to try this place. Great food, really nice people, and not dirty or questionable like those taco trucks on the sides of the roads there

Lemoore isn't too bad. I live an hour north of lemoore and there are plenty of good bars up in here in Fresno. Some of the clovis ones are ok. Except Old Town Saloon is kind of a big high school reunion every weekend, but the beer is pretty cheap so that's a plus

Ever been to Enid, America? We have friends that went Enid -> K'ville -> Meridian
You think your stations suck? Try that compilation of shit.
Try this on for size. We HATED JAX and P'cola the first time we lived there (both cities). We have lived in both cities again (currently in JAX) and love both of them now.
It's all about perspective. At least you're not getting fed government supplied sand for $0.35/day per-diem (yet).
I'm a fan of Jax..and I think you have to love PCola if you're in this business, or to quote CAPT Ramsey of Crimson Tide fame "You should have joined the Air Force."

How does one get sent Enid-Krock-Meridian?
One of Pickle's classmates in the other flight in Enid. I don't remember why he went to Meridian (as opposed to staying in Kingsville). I'll check with Pickle when he gets back from Norfolk, picking up the crew of a dead P3.
I'll let you know, crabby.
