We lived in Altus AFB from July 2009-April 2010.  This was our first duty station out of college.  We found that our friends that had families loved Altus but young married couples or single airman did not have the same feelings toward the base.  While you are a 4 hour drive to Dallas 2 hour drive to Oklahoma city there is just not a lot to do for people without kids or that are single.  Overall we enjoyed it as we met many people and due to the small size of the base we were able to have a close group of friends

We have been stationed here for 3 1/2 years now and will have to move soon. I?「どィび「m sad that we have to go. This has been an awesome assignment for our family. If you?「どィび「re single then this probably isn?「どィび「t the assignment for you, but if you have a family it doesn?「どィび「t get much better. While the town is very small with little options for shopping, it?「どィび「s not much of a drive to Lawton, Wichita Falls, or OKC. The squadron here is more like a big family, with everyone looking out for each other. The locals are very welcoming as well. Some people have a hard time moving to such a small time, but most love it after they get use to it.

Homepage: http://www.altus.af.mil/ Base Operator: 580-482-8100 or DSN 312-866-1110.

I have learned from other spouses that while Altus AFB is not party town central it?「どィび「s not a bad place. I had several spouses tell me that the pace was very laid back on and off post. That?「どィび「s something, isn?「どィび「t it? Probably not dream sheet material. Since there is really not a big town close by, employment for spouses is limited. Maybe you want to see if you can do something online?

If you want a bigger town go to: Lawton is 50 miles East of Altus Wichita Falls,TX is 90 miles south East of Altus. Oklahoma city is 2 hours North East of Altus. Dallas is 230 miles South East of Altus.
