Having just finished USAF, bootcamp in sunny San Antonio, then Tech school for 19 weeks in Wichita Falls Texas. I got my orders for my ” permanent” duty station, although nothing is permanent in the military.
Report to Kelly AFB, San Antonio no later than. I had 10 days to report in and in process to the base, meet my 1st SGT, get permission to live off base then get everything set up.
It’s not normal for new unmarried Airmen to live off base, normally that’s reserved for E3 and up and i was only an E1.
So here I was 22 years old in a new city far from home, San Antonio’s a good five hour ride from Athens TX. The small East TX, town I grew up.
I found a nice one bedroom apartment off of 410 and Marbach road. Hell living in any city was new to me, but San Antonio was huge.
