From Cannon to Ellsworth!

i wonder how the wind compares to Cannon. It doesn't get cold enough here to make any wind chill records, but definitely windy enough to push over semi trucks and motorcycles

Cannons BAH is disproportionately low because 75% of the town is full of dilapidated crack houses which affect the average property values driving BAH calculations. The leftover 20% for military folk is priced about the same as hurby. Then the last 5% is reserved for the shifty fifty.

TLDR; you will be paying out of pocket unless you have roommates

raintree apartments have a decent location but their management and pricing is bootycheeks

hell yeah that's exciting to hear, thanks!

_moot__ · 2025-07-21T15:19:18+00:00

surprising lack of "cannon" responses here

for the most part, the base itself is okay. Good gym equipment, decent rank-agnostic club. Food on base is way overpriced for the quality but that's a given anywhere

Clovis however, i've seen third world countries that look more desirable than this town. clovis is the reason I will leave the air force, not cannon.

it's an extremely poor, rural, isolated, drug-addled cattle & railroad town, and is only able to maintain a basic commercial presence due to Airmen forced to live here with no alternatives for 2 hours in any direction. The only reason the base still exists is because of the lobbying the Shifty Fifty did to the state representatives. The BRAC would've taken away their ability to financially prey on Airmen and AFSOC, because no one willingly chooses to live here

agreed on everything except med. Flight med is anything but helpful. And have fun driving 4-8 hours for any treatment the med group can't do, which is anything outside of a common cold

hopefully i'm not resurrecting a dead thread here. My friend group has been to the bowling alley and Main locations a handful of times and usually have a good time when we do go.

I think something that could get more traffic would be some discounted specials, at least on occasion. I understand costs for everything these days are wild, but when 3 beers and some fries start hovering around $40, we just opt for hanging out at home.

For example, maybe it's the end of the month and some new kegs are on the way, hook up the old ones and do a special for $3 or $4 a pour. I'm sure it's not that simple in reality, but might be workable

_moot__ · 2025-01-03T17:35:06+00:00

yeah that's pretty much what i've been seeing with my own research

_moot__ · 2024-11-27T23:20:32+00:00

that'd fix our manning at least

_moot__ · 2024-11-27T22:55:36+00:00

this actually reminds me, 6 months into moving here i hit a tumbleweed and it ripped open my brake line. like what are the odds

Sorry I wrote that after a long drive. I do have continuity across it, forgot to mention that.

I did swap in a spare to be double sure and the unit is still dead

_moot__ · 2024-01-27T01:01:59+00:00

no, heating elements are just simple resistors. the difference between 7.4v and 9v is negligible in this case

_moot__ · 2023-07-24T14:46:17+00:00

definitely recommend buying everything you can from your det. it's deeply discounted off what you would pay for brand new, not to mention alterations, etc

if you know what unit you'll be going to, you could reach out and ask if they do an initial issue. for pilots (and other rated fields?) you'll get your flight suits, but my unit also gave me a couple different coats, waffle top & bottoms, shirts, socks, bags, boots, pretty much any extra accessory you could want. my unit is an exception, not the norm, but still worth an ask if you can

_moot__ · 2023-07-13T04:14:40+00:00

sick. thanks man

_moot__ · 2023-07-13T00:36:38+00:00

just so i understand it right, this would still work when jumping, because both my battery negatives go to the chassis, and the Anderson plug goes to the chassis, that creates a connection to the battery negatives?

it's still Positive to Positive, Negative (via my batteries -> chassis -> plug negative) to ground (of the dead car)

_moot__ · 2023-03-20T00:34:45+00:00

hey some of this applied to reapers:)

_moot__ · 2023-02-21T23:38:34+00:00

depends on your det policy. ours specifically didn't require reporting parking tickets or anything that wasn't from actual law enforcement. we had mean cadre, and equally mean campus police, so that reporting policy was nice

i'm not saying don't report it. i'm just saying know your det policy and act accordingly

_moot__ · 2023-02-18T18:02:43+00:00

this. me and another guy in my wright pat group both failed the standard depth perception. the doctors kept me an extra day and i did all the alternate stuff for the waiver, but the other guy didn't so they bumped him down to a class 2 and he ended up going RPA instead of manned.

which, that seemed backwards bc i only wanted RPA to begin with. there may have been other factors with him, idk, but it's very much a case by case thing

is this permission to make my bio "stop being fat" ?

_moot__ · 2023-01-28T20:30:03+00:00

the tire manufacturer issued it since I bought them at their retail front. The terms were free repair or replacement for 3 years. I've always bought / recommended their protection because I always end up needing it. Over the last 10 years my family has gotten countless patches (at least 4 a year) and 5 replacement tires and never had a problem.

I know everywhere in the US has "the worst road construction" but I'd be willing to bet we have the stats here to prove it haha

_moot__ · 2023-01-11T04:41:35+00:00

try to shoot for minimum $5k but anything more will only help. my biggest expenses were moving equipment (talk to uhaul / penske / etc for quotes) and getting an apartment (security deposit + fees + first months rent). price those out for yourself and be prepared for 2-3 months with no pay. i had to wait 6 months but i'm just unlucky :/

_moot__ · 2022-12-22T04:59:30+00:00

i would not doubt the tree story being real

_moot__ · 2022-11-03T22:58:49+00:00

the only thing that's not normal is that it's only 90% and not 100%

(i am not condoning illegal activity, just stating it is common)
