We enjoyed it

Shaw AFB

Well, our first assignment was Shaw AFB. I actually enjoyed it and the spouses group was TIGHT!! We did so much, had so much fun and I made life long friends. The base housing at least for us was great. We had a spacious 1500 sqft 3BR 2BA, fenced in back yard, beautifully landscaped, carport, carpet, the works. It sure beat trying to find an off base house considering the housing allowance. The commissary and BX have a decent selection. I was able to find a nice job in town, but the pay left something to be desired. The base is an extremely busy one as far as active duty. I never saw the hubby - or at least it seemed like it. Thank goodness for the spouses!! He deployed often but the other guys in the squadron called to make sure I was ok and to see if I needed anything. Very tight family. We got together about twice a month with the squadron to have BBQs etc. Fun times! I've read a few other posts here about Shaw and the driving, trust me, it's like that everywhere - don't you know that everyone else on the road is an idiot but you??? :-) I enjoyed our time at Shaw - would go back tomorrow.
