So, tell me about Minot

[burtis]

It's looking like Minot is in my future, gang. This will be a pretty big change from California but I'm ready for a change so here we go.

What's it like? What's there to do? I'm not a big nightlife guy generally so the lack thereof doesn't bother me, but I hope there's nice stuff to do outside once it stops being forbiddingly cold.

Also I know housing is expensive but are there nearby towns that are less impacted and maybe cheaper? I'll have a car and I don't mind a commute at all.

Thanks!

You could always apply to Sanford, burtis. They seem to contact you relatively quick once you send in an application... like within a week or so.

Yeah but lease is signed, I'm here for keeps

If you don't mind me asking, when is your orientation, and what unit are you starting in? I'm originally from California, but moved to Minot about a month ago (husband is military). I start orientation this Monday with Trinity! It'd be nice to know another Californian out here!

I start orientation tomorrow too! I'm in emergency/trauma. I've got dark curly hair, a beard, glasses, and I'll be wearing khaki corduroys. Come say hi, I don't have any social support out here aside from my cats and I'd love to make a friend.
