LOL., Ouartermaster, you’re right! It WAS Lackland! Just goes to show what memories do to one. And was it called OTS in66? I probably reflexively said OCS as that was how my Father was commissioned in WWII. (I went the ROTC route.) I think I’ve probably said it both ways over the years when I tell that story… And to be truthful, I couldn’t swear on a stack of Bibles whether it was the O club at Randolph or Lackland, come to think of it. (Of course my mental “vision” even then was clouded by those “whisky fronts” that kept moving thru the area…..

AF OCS was at Miami Beach, and Moved to Lackland. OCS was closed and reorganized as OTS (Officer Training School) at Lackland (old Medina AFB, then Lackland Annex when I lived there, now, apparently, Medina Annex), and later moved to Maxwell. What used to be OTS is now called Basic Officer Training, and OTS also includes the school for direct commission personnel. It was never at Randolph.

Lex – I believe Michelle has the right advice in that you should have a heart to heart with the Kat – she might surprise you.

The TX job sounds a lot better than doing network SE for E2’s – for a fighter guy, especially. Don’t let SD tie you down.

Good Luck!

Went to bed early, I woke up and and was having a fist fight with the pillow. The kicker is the pillow was winning. I refuse to insult your intelligence. To put it bluntly, I just don’t have the answer. This “economy with strong fundamentals”, please pardon the sarcasm, appears to make things like this, even harder.

Thank you, for the historical insight into the weaponization of the “beloved black fly”.

Good luck,
Grumpy

Do it, Lex!!
I left SD 9 years ago for podunk and thanked G** I ever since.
Here, the choppers don’t flood your backyard looking for Somedood, no taggers on the walls, we can’t go to the store without an hour of “Hi, How ya do’in”.
Everyone you know belongs to the same gun club or golf club, or both.
Go for the bucks and sanity!
