10/13/2014Michelle, you ARE NOT the only one. I moved here after my unit finished Desert Storm. I WAS an outgoing, friendly, trusting, happy person. NOW? None of the above. Yes, the women are very unfriendly and clique-y. They come off first as being outgoing and wanting to be friends (they will tell anyone who wants to listen all their life's history in 5 minutes) but you WILL get the chill. This has happened to me time and again. I would make plans to have a girl's night out with some of the local ladies and then would end up being ALONE at the venue. Later I would get strange excuses of "family" this and that, etc. ad nauseum. Why am I still here? No work for someone who has an M.A. degree but doesn't speak Spanish. So I work for myself doing service jobs' work. Saving up nickels, dimes and pennies to get the hell out of here hopefully by 2015 when I will have saved enough $$$ to pay cash for a modest home in a PROGRESSIVE state....Washington State.....where it isn't a black mark on your history if you speak ENGLISH and are educated and NOT Mexican Hispanic!
