They have a great web site that was very helpful to us. I love the housing on fort dix even though we are airforce. I found our CE commander very personable and nice. we love our squadron and shop.

I just found out a couple weeks ago that my Base of preference got approved and we will be getting stationed at McGuire in mid August. Does anybody have any information on the base? How is it? Were at Edwards AFB right now and it?｢どｨび｢s terrible. It takes just about a half hour to get off the base. Please tell me it?｢どｨび｢s not like that at McGuire. Were pretty excited to get out of here. Especially because we?｢どｨび｢ll be just 8 hours from home and we have a baby on the way. Any information about McGuire will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What is the job outlook at McGuire for active duty spouses? Do you have to drive quite a ways to get to jobs, or are there jobs within a couple minutes outside of McGuire?
Thanks, Clarissa, your review was very helpful. My husband and I are small-town people and are looking for a more secluded area to live, but a place that we can still get to civilization within 30-60 minutes. We are at Charleston AFB and it?｢どｨび｢s not what we thought it would be. We were told it was a great small-town feel area. It?｢どｨび｢s over-populated and the traffic is horrible. We are trying to get away from that and live more in a country setting like we grew up in.
I?｢どｨび｢ve heard a lot of folks say that the housing on McGuire is rundown and old. Is this the case, or has it been updated lately?
Thanks for your help!!

We?｢どｨび｢re looking at taking orders up there. We?｢どｨび｢re currently on Andrews AFB. I love the set up of the Lakehurst houses but my husband will be working on Maguire. Is there a cut through? If not, do you know what his commute time will be? He?｢どｨび｢s a flight engineer on the C-130 so he has some very long days sometimes and doesn?｢どｨび｢t want a long commute. Any info and/or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. TIA! (I don?｢どｨび｢t get on here very often so if you want to email me at {admin edit} that would be great.)

here are some of the up sides and down sides ive found at mcguire?｢どｨｬｶThe biggest problem ive found is that the base is pretty secluded its about a 30 min drive to get to a walmart or a chain sit down resturant like chilis or outback or to even get to the mall. I think the location is great for anyone who has older children or are single seeing that the base is close to Philadelphia, NYC, Atlantic City, and Baltimore they are all with in a couple hr drive from here, great for weekend trips. Ive never had any problems with the medical here u can normally always get in for your check ups as long as you schedule enough a head of time, housing is nice, and the bx is being renovated all in all not a bad base but very secluded from any half way decent sized city.
