"The Air Force sent me to Beale as my first duty station. I've been lucky enough to stay here my whole career and I was able to settle down and plant my roots. My husband and I are very outdoorsy so this area is perfect for us. The big differences between Maryland and California are no humidity and not having to shovel snow. The best thing about being here is being able to take advantage of the snowy mountains and the breezy beaches. The west coast is the perfect place to be for adventure."
