I may take you up on this offer assuming you got whiskey. If not a cruise will be in order!
Johnny Walker blue or bourbon

We buy Evan Williams by the case so there's always plenty of that

There's a large civilian contigent, expect to have to deal with that - for better or worse (usually worse, civilians practically get away with murder on base)

I didn't mind working in the 552, but we all know that given personnel changes over the past 4-5 years, there's no telling how it is now.

As far as the OKC area... I grew up 45 mins south of Tinker. I'm not a big fan of OKC, but it's all in what you're interested in
