[QUOTE="walterallen, post: 538039, member: 4068"]Hey Flyers10! Why not Minot..Freezing the reason, was always followed up by "Only the Best Go North". As I found out that happened to be quite true. Funny story about getting orders to go to Minot. I was in tech school in Boluxi and I initially got orders for Loring, Maine, then at the last minute I got the Minot orders. Well, when I saw where Minot was located I started asking everyone about Minot and everyone responded by saying it was a horrible assignment and I would hate it, even though no one I talked to had actually been there, except for an Uncle of mine who had been there said it was a great assignment, and he was right. The weather, yes, was more then cold in the winter, but the summers were beautiful. I actually got to see the northern lights one year, quite exciting. I got to see the SR-71 take off from Minot and to everyone's surprise it did a low fly by and then was out of sight in seconds. I worked with super people and earned many ata boys for my efforts. I am very proud to have served with honor. I think every young man should at least endure Basic Training, it teaches you many lessons for life, not just the military. Every time I see your avatar I reflect on my Air Force days. So in return, thank you for your service to our country and also the joy I get every time I view my coin collection, which I do often. Take Care. Allen[/QUOTE]
