Fort Rucker

Yeah so I live here now… I refuse to change my “Home” status to Ft. Rucker. It is temporary. A few years at most.

Advice: Get over yourself and try to make peace with this place. You’ll be a lot less miserable if you stop fighting it. Find things you enjoy. …But you don’t have to put down roots. Embrace your curly hair (it’s not worth the fight against frizz when it’s 130% humidity.) If you need an ER go to Dothan.

Good things: Go to Florida. Watch the Apaches shoot at night. Eat at Mellow Mushroom. Get a tan. Pick strawberries at Country Best farm on N84. Dothan is close if you’re in need of a mall or a nice restaurant.

My husband was in Iraq (the first time – 1990) and my sister had come up from Ft. Rucker to visit me at Fort Bragg.

While she was with me, Desert Storm ended, and my hubby came home. We took my sister back to Ft. Rucker while we started making the “relative” rounds (visiting all the relatives).

We opened her government housing up, and the place was covered in MOLD! It was GROSS!! She had placed a work order before she left and housing never showed up to fix the hot water leak.

Another reason I’ll never live on the East Coast again!

my husband trained here as an ATC, it was worth it for me to visit him here before he got sent to Korea.

Seems like no one has been here but me.
