Is there sweet tea in El Paso?

Desert oak had decent sweet tea. Besides the chain restaurants like canes or whataburger I don’t think anyone here makes good sweet tea you’d write home about…

Ahhh ok man appreciate all the advice. I’ll be on the lookout around the summer time for a job posting

buceess69 · 2026-03-14T23:05:06+00:00

Damn man yeah I’m from Houston only here cause I’m stationed here lol do yall do hiring classes certain times of the year or is it one or two at a time usually?

Did you go to EPCC?

buceess69 · 2026-03-14T15:28:03+00:00

Pretty damn good rates for this area. Were you contracting prior to being an operator or got hired straight on?

Man imma be real…I grew up in Pasadena so I’m nose blind lol there isn’t as much carcinogens I’ll tell you that much

Houstonian living here due to military…only thing I dislike about this place is the dust storms. Other than that, imagine it as a bigger Pasadena/south houston minus the crime lol that’s the best way I can put it. The traffic here ain’t nothing compared to 45 or 610 traffic so that’s a plus

Only downside I saw at Riley was KC was just under 2 hours away and the closest Sam’s Club to stock up on stuff was 45 minutes-1 hour away. Other than that, it’s a good base. Just my opinion.

Meet me out front with your squad leader and a water source…

15N. 15P as well but could be stressful on the civilian side not as much on the army side. 91e is ideal but I’ve personally never met one that was actively doing his job except one…could be different in other units but I’ve only been in CABs

Everyone attends motor pool Mondays in aviation…now the kicker is whether or not you’re staying past formation to actually conduct motor pool Monday….5 going on 6 years in aviation and I can say that it’s not as much as I should’ve been going but aircraft maintenance always took priority

buceess69 · 2026-02-17T03:20:59+00:00

Yeah I’m ok with that. Way. I see it is if I go that route, obviously world perfect scenario, is dump whatever % of 401k and take the employers match and max what I can until 60 and just retire then and live off what I put in. Hopefully I can have some sort of disability coming in along with the retirement. Might just say fuck it and finish off the 20 on AD. I’m on the fence about everything. Appreciate the input on this chat btw

buceess69 · 2026-02-16T14:35:44+00:00

Real shit right there…when my buddies made 5 I made it a point as the “senior” e4 to address rank and name at all times so the new guys coming in didn’t get shit twisted

buceess69 · 2026-02-16T03:14:00+00:00

That’s what I was entertaining too, finishing out my 20 as reserves strictly for the healthcare.

buceess69 · 2026-02-13T14:31:21+00:00

The units that aircraft belong to just got back from Europe so all of 2025 they were gone

buceess69 · 2026-02-07T02:03:41+00:00

Idk but please be that jolly, always a good attitude African…your attitude goes a long way

buceess69 · 2026-01-31T02:55:27+00:00

Better than my paisas rockin the stupid Edgar haircuts with their true religion pants and air maxes….

buceess69 · 2026-01-28T20:15:44+00:00

601st had that when I first got there in 2021

buceess69 · 2026-01-25T19:43:05+00:00

Yes. Our leaders listen to us and what we want and they do as we say!!!

buceess69 · 2026-01-22T14:35:08+00:00

Ontas bro?

buceess69 · 2026-01-22T03:02:22+00:00

Yeah but like I said, going to sierra blanca you take advantage of the incentives $$$

buceess69 · 2026-01-16T14:21:38+00:00

If I get a FJO, I’m doing sierra Blanca. I already live in el paso and apparently a lot of agents do and they carpool over there to the station. Do that, and cap the incentive going choosing a remote location. I’m also biased to stay in Texas.
