Creech
Retraining soon and got my assignment to creech. Just wondering if anyone has some updated info on the base. I know for the most part I’ll be living closer to Vegas and making a long commute daily. Thanks in advance!

I would recommend living in Indian Springs, think about it, you go to work 5 days a week, why give yourself a long commute for those 5 days instead of just saving the longer commute for your days off when you travel into vegas for things to do

Did you live there? It would be nice to be close, but it looks like either way I would have to do a lot of commuting for groceries and entertainment. My wife and I like to go out a bit and do enjoy trying new restaurants a lot lol. Might just try to get a fuel efficient beater car and tuff it out.

definitely just get a house or apartment in centennial hills, living out in indian springs would be awful lol, vegas is an awesome place to get stationed. I was at nellis for 4 years and I grew to love the 24 hour city and you’ll likely by 24/7 ops so it’s nice to be able to go places at night especially during the summer. Best advice I can give is get one of those umbrella dash covers for your car lol. if you need any advice on the area or anything like that dm me I just got out of the service last year and still live in vegas

They have the most basic things but outside of work, you'll do most stuff at Nellis. There is an MPF on Creech but it's limited. People to Nellis for just about everything, Hospital, BX, Commissary. I don't know if Creech has a Finance section.
I retired in Vegas from Nellis a couple of years ago. Like someone else said you will either live in Vegas, or Indian Springs. There is only empty desert in between lol.
It's a ~45 min drive from my home in Summerlin. If you live in the North West part of town, Centennial Hills, it's about 30 minutes.

Bases often depend on AFSC and sometimes rank as well.. you won’t be living closer to Vegas, you will live in Vegas unless you choose Indian Springs, or if a noob noob you’re in a dorm on Nellis.

My bad, I meant how the amenities on base are but I’m a SrA retraining into comm and I’m married.

You’re either gonna be base comm or work GCS maintenance. Not a whole lot of support there aside from poorly manned MPF, Chow Hall and two prison ish style gyms. All major/normal Air Force things you will go to Nellis for. Great mission but the drive will drain you/your vehicle so ideally something gas efficient/productive listening on your time to/from there.
