2010KonaBlueGT Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Anyone live in Abilene or around there? Just got notification that I will be going there next. Have to report in Nov of this year. Yeah, I"ve been there. My (ex) brother in law lived in Ty, which is *right* next to Abilene. Literally. As in, connected to it. I went there to pick up his vehicles and go through his house (trailer) when he died. Real nice place to visit. <AHEM!> It's a real nice place to be from....FAR FROM. What a shit hole. I will NEVER go back there again. My friends son just got a full ride scholarship at Abilene Christian. My condolences! I hated every minute of my visit. I was literally SOAKED in sweat just standing in the shade. Then a couple of wasps decided to light my arm on fire. I assume you are in the USAF?

0201212 Posted June 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Phill, Yes I am in the Air Force. I'm a recruiter so I won't be working on the base. I will have an office in the community. Sorry to hear you didn't like it. Hope it works out better for me. As far as the heat I grew up in Barstow ca and have spent plenty of time in sand box's around the world. Thanks for the info.

V/R, James I hated it so much I was offered my BIL's (paid for) property and mobile home, for FREE and I turned it down! I didn't get to see much of "downtown" Abilene but more to the western edge and area. My bud whose son is going there said he liked it, even after I polluted his mind with my experience. And the heat isn't anything like Barsto/Ft. Irwin. I go there often. Seriously, I was SOAKED (able to wring out my shirt) just from standing in the shade. Not working in it, STANDING in it. BLECH! YMMV, Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherri Leicht Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Abilene is halfway between Midland-Odessa and Dallas-Ft. Worth. A couple of Shelbyites in Odessa area and a lot in the Dallas area. They seem to be very active! Good luck and thank you for your service to our great nation :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EL SHELBY Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Wow. While Abilene may not be the most exciting city in Texas, it's full of terrific people. As for the heat; we keep it hot on purpose. It keeps the riffraff out. I'm not sure about the Shelby scene in Abilene, but Fort Worth is an easy drive and you are welcome to join us anytime. You just missed the Legacy Bank event but it will be back next year. Welcome back to Texas James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not anywhere close to stock but my tune is set up for 91 ca crap gas so no biggie. I was just looking forward to getting 93 at the pump again. Thx for the the heads up.
