Goodfellow Air Force Base - Goodfellow Air Force Base, Texas

James Christie

This is a great little Air Force Base in the middle of Texas. The commissary and exchange are not large but they got plenty of selection. They have a wonderful gym and even a little thrift shop. The grounds are very clean and the static displays are just really really cool. Southern hospitality just a great bunch of people. The San Angelo Inn is really really nice as well. I stayed in one of the newer buildings and it is the nicest military hotel I’ve ever stayed in.

All the exit doors at the Base Commissaryexcept two in the front are closed. Reason for this is given because of the heat and not so reliable refrigeration. Been going on for a few years now Even during cold months. In my opinion it is a safety hazard. And why not update the refrigeration and coolers?

Goodfellow is a great place to expand your horizons because the horizons in that part of Texas go on and on and on. It takes me back to my own training down in Beeville, Texas, at NAS Chase Field, way back in 1963. Ah, those were the days. There's nothing more memorable than a military training base out in the boonies. That's the kind of place to be, where a young guy or gal can discover the wonders of military life. I'm 77 years old, but wish I could go back and do it all over again.

Not a good base, communication is severely lacking. My son is currently there and recently found out he does not have everything complete to out process in time for graduation. His buddies got the much needed information with more than enough time to complete everything but my son was never made aware of it and now he doesn't have enough time to get everything done so he has to stay an additional month. We had plane tickets for him for RAP that we have to cancel and now we don't know if we'll be able to see him before he leaves this country. If you have a loved one here, make sure they don't rely on anyone to help them.

From 1968! Good place to be stationed - old barracks at that time ('68); but sufficient recreation on and off base - some historical sites to see......chow hall was excellent - had pecan trees grew on base - cooks were good at making pecan pies. Education was best I ever had. All in all, one of the best bases I was ever stationed. I'm sure its MUCH different now!

A long time ago, I was trapped on this vortex base for 5 years as permanent party before I finally got orders out of there. I have almost no good memories. My very first assignment straight out of tech school was at a unit where I was emotionally abused by the leadership, but I was too young and inexperienced to know that I should've gone to the IG (which is what people tell me I should've done whenever I share the stories). Now it's far too late, and I'm left to deal with the scars. It's really a shame that people are promoted when they shouldn't be, and allowed to abuse their power with no accountability or repercussions. Most if not all of them have since retired and probably forgotten all about me, but I'll never forget them. I just look forward to my own retirement where I can rub it in their figurative faces, knowing they all thought I would amount to nothing in the Air Force.

I wonder if there was ever any recreational development for permanent party airmen in the dorms, like Chief after Chief promised but never made good on back when I was there. Not sure why I'm sitting here on Google Maps revisiting places of my past (probably because I'm bored out of my mind in quarantine), but I do not miss you, Goodfellow. If you're stationed there and reading this, I'm sorry. But at least there are worse places than San Angelo.

This is a small base, but we really enjoyed our 5 night visit. It had a little kiddy pool, and a bigger adult pool with slides. There is a Burger King, Dominos, and a smoothie shop. We mostly walked from place to place. It is not really a place I would go to if I didn’t have family there. Since it is so small, and it is mostly a training base, it is pretty neat to watch everyone marching around in formation.

The army side of base is not great and morale was consistently low. The base as a whole is nice however, with a small but well kept PX and decent DFACs. Try to enjoy your time there as best you can and look forward to leaving
