- What's good y'll? Doing my Pros and Cons for Creech AFB. Searching on TH-cam no one has really taken the time to discuss this and considering that it is PCSing season I thought now would be a great opportunity to put out this video. For anyone who has been stationed here, the pros and cons I listed out are definitely nothing ground breaking and it's everything we all said and heard before. Overall, whether you love or hate Creech you got to appreciate, love, and Viva Las Vegas.
CONS: The drive, limited food options, and the heat!
PROS: The drive, the quiet, and everything that LV has to offer!

My videos represent that of my own opinion and do not reflect thoughts of the U.S. Air Force or DoD.
From one AF veteran to another. Thanks for your service. BTW do you know a Teresita same last name as yours?
Cheers! Same to you. And no, I do not. But if she's Filipino maybe we're relatives. I found one cousin via Facebook usaf/airman/nco/officer memes pages 🤣
Hey young man if you are still in the Las Vegas area, join our veterans peer support group. Reply if interested.
I was both in the US Army 81-87, USAF 87-93. Never stationed at Nellis. Iceland Desert Storm veteran and last PCS at Mather AFB.
Hello Mitch, I love bulgogi.
Stay cool brother. Peace.
A while back i was at Yokota.
Thank you for your thoughts about Creech.
Awesome video! Thanks for your advice!
Does Creech Air Force Base have or recruit Air National Guard member?
I don't think we have a dedicated POC but I do know we have ANG and Reservist integrated within our units on station. And I know they do recruiting sessions like bi-annually or something. This is something you'd have to dig around for a little bit but I think you'll find an answer quickly.
Not sure if you're already at Creech or planning to PSC here but our Support Squadron (Career Asst Advisor) just sent an email regading this. You can contact them at CreechCAA@gmail.com or 432WG.CAA.CareerAssistance@us.af.mil
Boy times have changed I was stationed at This base when it was Indian Springs AFAF in 1986 as the base IDMT and lived on base when it had base housing had approximately 250 active duty plus dependents could not get any TV stations no cable
Well, you take visit of Centennial Hills & Sky Canyon to see how much was developed on the edge of North West Vegas. (Heck, my guess in 1986 there probably wasn't anything built north of Craig Street haha) Well, since your time at Creech we now have a Shoppette, Subway, Dining Facility, and Gym haha. But no base housing. Though a handful of folks do decide to live in Indians Springs while the rest of us commutes.
Got Creech as my assignment and I'm really excited!
First assignment?
@@ainako1010 2nd, im currently at Kadena right now. Got a few more months left
@@vcrazy_diamond I'm coming to Creech in a few months from Kadena. Was it a big culture shock going back?
@@kendleslife1940 you're going to miss Japan, that's for sure 😆
Im getting stationed at creech afb. Im in tech school for security forces and have 5 weeks left. Are you security forces? And are the supervisors and people nice on creech? Im kinda worried my supervisors will be like MTIs lol.
I'm most definitely not SF lols. I think you'll be fine. But then again security forces life is pretty different in comparison to the rest of the operational air force. I'm sure by now you'll probably have a sponsor to direct your questions to. If not, I can ask around for you.
Great video. Thank you for all the info. My wife just got orders to creech. We have kids and don't know if you know the answers to our questions but hopefully you do. 1. How is the housing out of base. Meaning how much is it to rent a house? Where are the good places to rent or buy a house? 2. I've heard good things about the school system there. But now sure where are they talking about. Any idea what towns have good schools? Those are the 2 major things that worry me as a spouse. Also what about the drive situation. How much do you spend driving back and forth? Is that something to get worried about? Thanks again for your video and info. 👍👍
Hey thanks for dropping by.
1) Housing out of base is good depending where you look. I'd say stick to Aliante, Centennial Hills, Providence as these areas are relatively newer. Sky Canyon is the newest and closest area to Creech but I think it's a bit further from the rest of Vegas. For renting you're looking around $2100.
2) I'd have to ask around and get back to you on the school stuff.
3) So I end up filling up my tank about twice a week. Current gas prices are starting at $4. Again your unit should have some sort of carpool/vanpool options. But since it's just me, I'm not too hung up on it.
@@ainako1010 thanks for responding. We'll wait for your answer on the schools.
Is the $2,100 an average for renting regardless of town?
$4/gallon does sound pricey. Sounds like is cheaper to live closer to base but I guess it depends on the situation. Do you know anything about base housing?
If the wait on the waiting list is long? Is it worth living g on base at Nellis?
And it sounds like you love creech. Are all personal great to work with there? Thanks again for your help. Keep up the great work.
What other bases can rpa sensor operators be stationed at?
Active Duty wise the main ones that comes to mind are Holloman (NM), Cannon (NM), Whiteman (MO), and I believe Shaw (SC). But there are also RPA units on the Air National Guard side.
@@ainako1010 I hope I get shaw, I heard tyndall was too do you know if that's true? Leaving in 2 weeks for bmt cant wait
@@harkriz415 Not that I know of. Maybe a different RPA platform. But things are constantly changing, so maybe. And good luck with BMT! When things get hard just remember how many days you survived until that moment and you can survive one more day.
S got any questions about Rpa sensors?
@@ainako1010 thanks, bmt wasn't too bad
I have the same job as you and I’m currently in tech school. Creech is my first duty station and I am married. Wish me luck!
Well at least you're married so you should already be able to live off base. Do you know what squadron you're getting into?? It should be three options: Base Comm (432 SPTS), GCS Comm (432 ACMS), or PAROC.
Mitch Lozada 432 ACMS!
What was your job?
I'm Cyber Transport by trade (3D1X2)
What are the details regarding the park and ride? I can't find anything online about it...
Was there something specific you wanted to know? The park & ride is really just a meeting place. Each Squadron sets up their own van pool program which they can provide further details. Pro Tip: the park & ride doubles up as bus station. The CX line takes you the airport for $5 (1 way). So if you plan to take a trip you can leave your car at the park & ride with the trade off that the bus ride does take an hour with all the stops.
What about all the brits! 😎
True. And now a few Space Force Guardians on base (well they don't have a unit but they're two in my squadron)
It looks much better now. I arrived in 2007 and it had one hanger..that’s about it. By the time I left in 2010 it had everything. Crazy how quick you guys build bases. In the uk we are still using infrastructure from WW2
