I’ve lived in North Dakota and the only people that genuinely liked it were people from Montana and Mogadishu, Somalia. The pros were always well you can fish up here.

"Why not Minot?
Freezin' is the reason."

Buddy of mine was stationed at Minot, late 70s-early 80s, worked out on the flight line, said it would be an improvement if it was only miserable.

Minot or Barksdale from MacDill.


Damn, that's payback for duty in Tampa. I loved being stationed at MacDill. I guess I'd choose Shreveport? But that's only because of the weather. They both suck.

Most everyone I've ever known in the air force said Minot is basically the worst place you can get stationed in the lower 48.

Barksdale is in Shreveport yes, but you can live in Benton or Bossier or Somehere south of Cross lake and be fine for everyday family life.

My FIL was in a similar situation and went with Barksdale AFB in Bossier over moving the family to Minot. At least SBC is not far from Dallas - Minot isn't close to anything.

This could be the only viable reason to choose Shitport, and I live here.

I live in Williston, ND, Shreveport all day. The winters are brutal up here.

For example, this morning it was 41 degrees. 3 months of below zero temps on the way

So a buddy got a lovely choice of going to Minot or Barksdale from MacDill.


My cousin was transferred from Barksdale to Minot. He transferred back as soon as he could. You may get shot in Shreveport, but you won't lose your keys in a snowbank and freeze to death
