Hey all, I'm creating a Laughlin AFB resource page for this site, and a sub-section of it is going to be a list or something with insider tips.  These tips are just little bits of info that one would not find in any published source, and can be serious or humorous.  Just as long as it's useful (KEYWORD) to someone who would be reading the page.  Keep in mind that someone reading the page will be EADing or PCSing to the base, and more than likely will be involved with the SUPT program.  It could be anything from good housing, hole-in-the-wall bars, things NOT to do, etc.

Any help from current/former members of the base, send me a PM, call me on my cell, or just pull me aside if you see me doing what I do.  I'd appreciate it if you could get them into me NLT 25 Jan, although if you think of any afterwards, get it to me anyways.

Thanks guys!

On a side note for boats, in order to rent boats from Outdoor Rec, you will need to drive to the other end of town to the Laughlin AFB Annex and take the boating exam.  You have to do this at every base.

There is a written test and a boating check ride.  The written one is easy.  If you can't pass that sucker, then you shouldn't be flying. Simple.  The checkride is going out and knowing how to drive a boat.  Gotta learn to use reverse as brakes, since you can't really stop on a dime in the water.

It would have been nice to see a picture of the dorms.  Also the description matched the contents of the NEW dorm building, not the OLD buildings.  Apparently, in the new buildings, there is more space and you get a recliner.  Essentially, the dorms are a studio apartment with a full kitchen, minus the dishwasher.  I would recommend pinnacle housing.  It is best to get as much research as possible.  Learn as much as you can about the UOQs, duplexes, and pinnacle housing.  If you can get off base in a nice apartment, go for it. 

If you want a nice apartment, the Stonegate complex is probably the best way to go.  A lot of Laughlin personnel live there.  It is in a good neighborhood and the complex seems pretty new. 

More like "right hand is descending into pants."  Believe you me, your hand is much more likely to NOT give you an STD and DEFINTIELY NOT likely to give you a tiny bastard version of yourself.  You gotta watch those DelRitas.  They're in for the kill.
