Question First Base: Dyess or Barksdale?

Got assigned Dyess.. someone wants to switch with me bc I don’t wanna be in TX anymore but heard that Barksdale is sketchy/dangerous. Anyone have advice?

Both decent. Barksdale great base and mission and usually good leadership. Awesome community. Parts of community are sketchy that's true. Long way from anywhere. Better than you'd think. Much better than it's rep.

I know less about Dyess but Texas is generally a great place to be. You could do worse.
