Anyone from there?
DH is looking at orders out there. The odd thing is that he a Navy Corpsman stationed with a SWCC unit. The Navy must have some sort of secret squirrel stuff going on out there. LOL
Anyway can anyone tell me about living out there? I am pretty much and east coast girl so I know that this is going to be a bit of a culture shock for me. DH has been stationed at 29 Palms before so desert living is kind of old hat for him but this is new to me.
What are the schools (high schools and colleges), housing and job markets like out there?
Oh he is also looking at San Antonio.

Did a 90 day deployment there. After seeing the Trinity site, not much else to do.
Sent a year in San Antonio, and loved it, but then I was young and single. I'd go to San Antonio.

If he's at the missile range, I go there all the time. You would live in Las Cruces NM, about 18 miles west of WSMR. It is about 52% Mexican 48% White. There are some great areas to live, and some that you would be killed in under a minute. Culturally, there is not much. The university gets some concerts and such, but that's about it.
Cost of living (housing) is surprisingly high for what you get in Las Cruces. Politically, it's as moonbat as any Kalifornia town. The best thing going for it is that they have great Mexican food and the best chili and pecans in the world.

From what I understand El Paso is not to far away. We are looking to buy and it will be DH, myself and my 16 year old son. Actually we would not mind being in the boonies a bit. If Las Cruces is a liberal as you say BadCat then I think I would take living in the middle of the desert over city life. I grew up in DC so I have had enough of liberals to last me a lifetime. I remember not so fondly of the welcome home party and election for Marion Barry. LOL
