Was notified of my next assignment today from the Air Force. Also found out my promotion date to make Major is at the same timeframe (August), so pretty pumped. Hard work is paying off!
My wife and I will be moving to the greater St. Louis area come August. I’m sure there are some on here that have been to the area/lived in the area/ or at least have more information than I have at this point. This will be our 5th assignment in the USAF and pretty pumped to be coming back to the Midwest. It will actually be the closest I’ve lived to where my family is (Wheaton) since high school and my family is equally as excited to get us closer. Maybe I’ll even be able to finally make a meet or something of the sorts.
Anyway, who has recommendations of places to live, good/bad areas of that metro, and any general advice for the STL area? We are probably looking to rent again as we will only be around for 3 years and then moving again as is the life of the military. Planning on possibly trying to have our first child as well, but schools won’t be a factor as we’ll be long gone before K-5 starts.
What say you?
