FT HUACHUCA
Your Name (if you would like it to appear):
Base Name: Ft. Huachuca
Base Location: Sierra Vista, AZ - southeast corner of state, appx. 20 miles from Mexico
How long have you been here? (give years please, ex. 2003-present) 1 month - Feb. 08 to June 08 is all the longer we are here for
What is housing like? On-post? (waiting list, conditions, etc.) Off-post? Any areas to stay away from? Average price to rent or buy? Long wait list. Off post you really need to check out the apartment you are planning on moving into to be sure there aren't problems with mold or lazy maintenance people.
Rate the PX & Commissary. PX was kind of small. Commissary is MUCH cheaper than the grocery stores in Sierra Vista.
Activities on base? MWR is always having events like boxing matches, basketball games, etc. There's horseback riding on post, a theatre that shows 1 movie a weekend, and the bowling lanes.
Active Spouses Club? Don't know yet
Things to do in area? Several restaurants, a local mall, caverns near by, lots of hiking. Not far from Tombstone (you know, the gun fight at the OK Corral.)
School System? Don't know - hear that drugs and teen pregnancy is a big issue at Buena High
Any colleges in area? Cochise College is the main one.
Jobs? (on post and off) Don't know
Favorite aspect of this base/surrounding city? Scenery is great; weather is more moderate than the rest of AZ.
Least favorite aspect? Everything shuts down really early around here. WalMart and Jack in the Box are the only things open 24 hrs. Also, hard to find somewhere to get quarters for laundry!! Nowhere has w/d in the units!! Lots of homeless people.
Local websites? (base, chamber, newspaper, schools, etc.)
Any other tips? Always keep something to drink handy. Buy extra moisturizing hair care and skin products. This place will dry you out!! And it wouldn't hurt to brush up on your Spanish... |
