What is Moody AFB Like?

It's like a small city within a city. It's like a community college campus with a fence around it and a very big airport attached to it -- where really big planes fly in and out. It's full of hard working people dedicated to one another and dedicated to their country, the cause of freedom, and defending the defenseless. Tbere are no speed limit signs, it is posted when you drive on base. There is not one traffic signal on Moody. Every driver is courteous and obeys the speed limit. They are very young it seems to me - but maybe I'm just pretty old! They are always friendly and call me "sir" all the time. They won't go through a doorway first, unless I tell them they are the dedicated active duty airman and they must let me hold the door for them. The civilians who support them are equally selfless and dedicated. Even though I've had a long and wonderful military career, these fine folks simply amaze me and I am thankful for them. When they ask for help they do so humbly. It's warm, pleasant and disciplined. You would like it here. Dr. D.
