Things to know about Altus Air Force Base
It is what you make it! Immerse yourself in the community because you will find the friendliest people here. If you are like me and not used to small town living, it is an adjustment. A good adjustment! You will learn new things and thrive.

Coming from a small town in West Virginia, I felt right at home in Altus. Strangers treat you like old friends, song birds wake you up in the morning, and you can get a sunburn just thinking about the sun here! If you don’t already like home cookin’, jack rabbits, and the word “y’all”, you’re sure to before you leave! 🙂
