where would you move?

[joesmooth20]

OK, I'm getting out of the Military in about a year but I still have to put in a resume for transfer season. Here's my choices, I have to arrange them from first to last. I don't want to move anywhere but the last time I was getting out they made me stay in, so I guess I should put something good down. Besides Seattle I have never lived in any of these places. Anyone want to shed some light on some of these Cities.

Milwaukee, WI
St. Louis, MO
Charleston, SC
some Air Force base outside of Denver, CO
Staten Island, NY
Houston, TX
Seattle, WA (Already lived there)
Clearwater, FL
Anchorage, AK
Guam
Nassua, Bahamas (been there)
Honolulu, Hi (been there)

Hawaii, Bahamas, Florida, or Denver.

 

[joesmooth20]

Hawaii, Bahamas, Florida, or Denver.

thanks for the reply, why those places?

 

[tucker01]

Cause outta the places you listed. Those seemed like nicest place to live. Who would want to live in Wisconsin, St. Louis, New York, or Houtson.

And the rest I don't know enough info about to make a comment on.

Avoid Guam at all costs. It's too damn hot and the island is too damn small.

I'd take Denver. Great climate, beautiful scenery and terrific culture. Great resteraunts and a ton of excellent micro-brewaries. Mountain biking, Skiing, some of the best golf courses in the country.

 

[fufu]

I would think Denver would be a very nice place to live.

Stay away from NYC, too expensive, too much crime, and Staten Island is a former dumping site for all of NYC garbage.

I don't know why, but I read this as "Satan Island."

Your choices are either too damn cold or too damn humid. I've never been to Hawaii but I'd choose either that or Denver. Personally, I wouldn't want to live in any of them

 

[mamaj]

Hawaii; the weather.

 

[joesmooth20]

Hawaii is a nice place but I've been there twice and both times I was ready to leave. Dever looks to be the most requested so far

 

[myCATpowerlifts]

Go for Denver, its very nice there. The mountains are beautiful, and if you like camping its the best!

Houston is way to damn humid and hot. Plus Traffic is a nightmare.

 

[MCx2]

I would say Denver as well, unless money is an issue then I would say St. Louis or Charleston. Everything else is too hot, cold, or crowded.

Anchorage would be cool if you are up for an adventure.

Houston, TX

 

[the nut]

Seattle!

 

[Nick+]

Get out of the USA.

 

[the nut]

Get out of the USA.

 

[joesmooth20]

Seattle!

that was the first place I was stationed. I had no money then and was on an Icebreaking ship that gone for 7months at a time. I really didn't like the people there that much and hated the weather. Since I won't be poor this time around it would probably be better though.

Milwaukee, WI -GHEY
St. Louis, MO - GHEY
Charleston, SC - CROWDED
some Air Force base outside of Denver, CO - Cold, but nice
Staten Island, NY - SHITHOLE
Houston, TX - Warm at least, lots of fitness chix in texas
Seattle, WA (Already lived there)
Clearwater, FL - beaches, chix, humid
Anchorage, AK - COLD, No chix
Guam - this might be cool
Nassua, Bahamas (been there) - Yes, but to live there?
Honolulu, Hi (been there) - Isn't it dumpy there?, But if you get out you good move to a better island

Not a great list of choices

If this would still be a military assignment... I would do Guam
then you could visit Japan, Australia, Thailand, places like this, on your off time... You might never get a chance to do that again!?

Plus you could probably catch Military hops to get to all these places
so it would be on the cheap -

 

[lioness]

Milwaukee, WI
St. Louis, MO
Charleston, SC nice people, beautiful area

some Air Force base outside of Denver, CO yes. A little cold for me...but worth it. Check the temps in that city. Some aren't quite as cold.

Staten Island, NY

Houston, TX I REALLY like the people here...but I'm from the South. Some really classy areas outside Houston to live! I like the people enough to put up with the weather.

Seattle, WA (Already lived there)
Clearwater, FL
Anchorage, AK
Guam
Nassua, Bahamas (been there)
Honolulu, Hi (been there)

Any other options?

You might want to consider your lifestyle. Are you laid back or always-on-the-go? Do you like bike riding, fishing, camping, diving...??? Some of the places would be great to visit...but maybe not as good to stay.

Good luck.

I would choose clearwater florida, i live in staten island myself for the past 15 years, after moving from brooklyn and find it very nice out here, gettin a lil too much development but not bad at all.

Hawaii, get a job renting mopeds or surfboards where they pay under the table, while getting unemployment. Spend your nights partying and injesting unforseen amounts of chemicals both legal and unlegal and some unknown. Then Take some night school, grad. top of your class, meet a local girl who inherited her grandmothers homes, get a job in National Security selling Solar hot water systems, or solar attic fans or Photovoltaic systems for Poncho's solar, Island Energy or Sun Tech. Then you'll have it made. That's what I did, and I think Tommy Lee or one of those guys said once that if they'd never made it as a rock band they'd rent mopeds and surfboards by the beach in Honolulu.

wow that sounds like a plan but if I go to any of these places I will still be in the service. If I am able to get out I'm going to NC state university. This just incase things change and I need something to fall back on. I could see where it would easy to get by in Honolulu without having much though. I have been there a handfull of times on ships, it's nice.

yeah, I did consider that also, but I have already been to all of those places. We'll see what they give me I guess.
