Well, if you can get away from training it's a really nice town. If you're stuck in training, then it's just hot.

If you're going to be here in Nov it will be nice. The weather that is, not so sure about the AF training. It is a decent city though a bit large for my tastes. I'm currently stationed at Ft Sam Houston. So, welcome from glorious San Antonio.

YMOS,
Tony

Hello

and a warm

from Boston, Massachusetts. Thank you for serving our nation in the Air Force. Get the most you can during Basic Training. Once completed, you will have an opportunity to see the real San Antonio - it is a picturesque city. Or I should qualify that it was for me in 1974, when I found the "winter" exceedingly HOT! If the training for your AFS is on base, you will really find it a great place to be. You have seen from many of us veterans on the board, there are as many on active duty as well. Welcome to the Air Force family.
U.S.A.F 1974 - 1978.

Thanks for the welcome Steve - as well as everyone else.

I've had a lot of fun in SA. It really is a nice place once you get out of the bustle of the city. The last time I went there was during St. Patrick's day this year. There were many kilted veterans piping about, as well as many kilted people in general (even had a nice chat with a visiting Scot.)
