Military families — JBSA is like its own city

Between Lackland, Fort Sam Houston, and Randolph — there's a massive military community here that most civilians don't interact with. We're in our own bubble.

Any other military spouses dealing with the PCS anxiety? Just got orders and we might leave SA.

the base commissary prices vs HEB is actually not that different anymore

the military community in SA is tight. best support network weve had anywhere
