Hey guys Im in the air force and have gotten orders out to edwards I was wondering if you guys could give me any info on the area, like where to stay away from, and a list of people that will help move heavy crap for beer and pizza , since the wife will be taking care of our baby, that will be 2 mo. old when i pcs in, and our 18 mo old.

 

Are you in for a shock....

No, I have no idea, Edwards AFB is a bit south of here. Bump for you!

 

eh? what kind of shock, like middle of no where...

 

ummm.... try to stay more in the palmdale area. lancaster is nice, but palmdale is a little bit safer. i have two friends that live up there. i will see.. when are you moving?

 

Tehachapi is nice right now too. May be too long of a drive for some to Edwards AFB

 

I have to be signed into the base by 31 July, and I got the "offical" word today. Im so glad to be leaving the area im in now, get back to the south, kind of, and summers that last almost all year long.

 

Thats how i feel everytime i am there TDY for weeks but i do love Crazy Otto's they have some kick *** food. And when we are there we stay in palmdalearound the mall area and it takes about 30-40 mins to get to the hanger. Like others have said i would stay in palmdale lancaster is cool to drive throught and look at the wierdo's. And good luck that base is a nightmare and be proud your one of the few military guys still there you'll see its all civilians.

 

As far from Lancaster as you can get, I would try and move in early summer is hot there...

 

Try to find a place on the west side of Palmdale. It's still a bit of a drive to the base but you'll want to be around people that still have all of their teeth or aren't gang affiliated. There's a 1/4 mile track in Palmdale on the south-east end of town(Los Angeles County Raceway) or you can go to Willow Springs in Rosamond for road racing. Just know that everyone says that Edwards AFB is just past the middle of nowhere.

 

make sure you take a girl with you the bars are
