When you earn your wings, you can talk shit about mine

No, actually I can talk shit about em any time I want. And you're an easier target than most because you have both sets.

Naw, you've made similar claims about a "trophy wife" but also backed it up with proof!

Congrats, welcome. Now, like HarrierDude said, don't, under any circumstances, trade west coast orders for east coast ones... no matter how much fun you may/may not have in -203.

PS - Don't suck.

It's funny. Last night I had a "no-shit" nightmare that my orders changed and I had to go east coast. I woke up in the middle of the night pissed as hell and my heart was pounding.

Maybe that will let you know how much I reeeeeeaaallly don't want east coast.

Havenot.

Well, I never flew anything Marine oriented, but I did grow up in Cherry Point (East Coast Harrier base.)

Aside from maybe one redeeming factor (the beach is 1/2 hour away) it's all gas stations, nasty girls, and furniture stores.

Havelock sucks. Stay away. We called it Havenot for a reason.

Nice work Freshy. Fun time's over, work begins. (But the fun actually continues.)

Question for the masses: Who I gotta blow to get some wings under my name? (One anchor please)

Why does east coast suck when compared to west?
The west coast is a pretty good deal for Marines, but understand I have not been to Miramar or Yuma yet. But from my limited experience in Lemoore, the flying weather is great, ranges are close, and there are some pretty good places for low altitude work. Anybody with more experience (read more than none) feel free to set me straight.

The East Coast isn't as bad as it's made out to be... As a single 1stLt, I could afford a house with a yard, and still have money to buy all my toys. The flying is a bit more boring (because it's flat there), but New Bern, Wilmington, Emerald Isle, and Atlantic Beach aren't that bad. Truth be told, I loved being stationed on the East Coast, and if I had it to do over again - I'd ask to be there.
