Air Station Corpus Christi, TX.

My seventh place would have to be Corpus Christi, Texas.

It would have been like Houston, and been in the top 5, but like Houston it's not the best place to live.

But like I said, you don't have to live right in town.

You can always live 20-30 mins away from the Air Station.

I love Corpus, because it's beautiful, and only a 8 hour drive to our hometown.

It's also still the South so that's a big plus!

The population was 305,215 at the 2010 census.

It's very warm there which is a plus, because you can swim in the ocean. :D

The city is home to a number of popular destinations for both tourists and residents.

Pearl Harbor was also filmed here, with Ben Affleck and Josh Hartlett.

PRO'S

- Warm summer.

- Warm & Chilly winters.

- Southren friendlyness.

- Pleantly of schools.

- beautiful beaches.

CON'S

- To hot for some.

-Not cold enough during the winters.

- I also heard since it's close to Mexico, there's a lot of people from Mexico there.

But like I said there's other town 20-30 mins away to settle down in, so don't let this stop you.

- IF I find more, I'll edit the post.



Air Station Houston, TX

My number six would be, Houston, TX.

It would have been in the top 3-4, but it's not the best, of best places to live.

But you don't always have to live right were the Air Station is at, you can always move 20-30 mins out of town.

I love how it's the South and a 7 hour drive home to my family.

It's the fourth largest city in the US, and the largest

Pros & Con's of the Air Station's in the US Coast Guard.

Now that we only have a year left until tranfer season for us, I've been looking at Air Station's and wondering what would be the best for us. There's not many pro's & con's on the Coast Guard Air Station's, so I figured while I'm finding things out about Air Stations, I could let you all in on it. So here is a list of all 28 Air Stations all the way from the West Coast to the East Coast, and all in between. Hope this helps. I'm gonna be doing my "wish list" with number one being best, to number 28 being the last place we'd wanna go. If anyone want's to know, as of right now we are stationed in Astoria, OR until May of 2012.
