Wife and I are looking at moving back to PA when I retire from the Air Force.
Wife is from Delaware County, I'm from Lebanon County...... we're leaning towards Lebanon or Berks County. How is the job and housing market? Aside from working aircraft maintenance I've also spent the past two years now being in charge of a squadron vehicle fleet, equipment items, and have managed 35 people on three shifts. Additionally I'm 10k forklift qualified and am currently halfway toward a BA in management |

Housing market is ridiculous here in northern Lancaster County. Houses are selling in days for way over asking price. I can't really help you on the job market. You can IM me and I will give you my number if you have any other questions.

Tons of employment availability in both counties. Land is really high in Lancaster. Lebanon is cheaper. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Beamy: We're also looking at the West shore area near Carlisle/Mechanicsburg That will put you in the region of west shore sportsman's association, a pretty nice range I was a member of 15 years ago. I was last there about 3 years ago as a guest and only saw 1 pistol bay so I don't know how much it's changed. Indoor pistol, outdoor trap, archery, individual pistol bays, shoot house, cowboy shoots. The rifle range is into a steep hill after 100Y of flat ground though. They host a lot of police/swat events too. https://www.westshoresportsmen.org/ |

There's also the Carlisle Fish and Game Association. It has a rifle range out to 300 yards and three pistol bays. I've been a member for decades. It's a great range.

Why would anyone want to move to PA? Massive public debt, taxes always going up, commie state government has destroyed election integrity, garbage weather and roads are getting worse.
I escaped four years ago and will not even go back to visit. |

We're also looking at the Carlisle area since we'd be able to access Carlisle Barracks for the BX and Commissary
Plus my wife is currently a GS civilian for the DOD here at Ellsworth, so if she could get a job on the Barracks or at New Cumberland that would be great as well |

The job market here is very good. I would recommend that you and your wife look to one of the DOD bases in the area for employment. New Cumberland, Mechanicsburg, and Carlisle. New Cumberland and Mechanicsburg are large employers.
I have friends who work at New Cumberland and Mechanicsburg. Good jobs with great schedules. As a retired veteran you would have the inside track and I believe that you would start with 20 years service. ie. max PTO. |

I'm trying to remember how well the Carlisle Barracks PX's and such are. Wondering if a Retired ID card will reduce the entrance examinations or not. |
