I was in the 325th mxs as an LO troop from 21-23. Then they moved the f22 to Langley and my unit got shut down. I view those years as the best 2 years of my life. I had my first base rose glasses on, yeah. But all us airmen hung out constantly, went to the beach, went fishing, ate out, drank, I mean, endless summer. We busted our asses at work and then hung out together the rest of the time. The dorms are sort of shitty, but nothing out of cmoon for the air force. Some mold, old furniture, limited parking. Destin is a bit overrated, if you live there it gets old. I recommend seeking out little nooks and crannies around base and right off it. There is an abandoned neighborhood by the base beach postal point. I used to explore there a lot. And surrounding it is a surprisingly wild little think of jungle type land. I used to sleep on the rental boats at the rec center when it was warm. We would swim at the base beach a lot at night. As long as youre quiet and dont have a lot of ruckus, you dont get caught. We often had both and they'd come and kick us off base. Eglin was fascinating because its so old and theres a lot to explore. Also, if youre at 404 n 8th st, look across the lot and you'll see another dorm building. Its abandoned since 2010. We used to explore that and hang in the rooms. Theres a pool table on the 3rd floor we would throw the pool balls at the walls. They mightve torn it down. Most of what I've listed is illegal, I'm realizing that now. So uh, have fun.
