Best Air Force Base Lowell Near Me

Sheena P.: I relocated to Hanscom AFB in May 2021 and start working in June 2021. I officially resigned in January 2022. I will try to make this as short as possible just to share my realistic experience. I’ve been a federal employee for 10 plus years. Relocated from Oklahoma City to Hanscom in hopes of a fresh start in my career and new experience. I worked in Logistics and unfortunately I experience very much blatant discrimination from this base. I do not like to write bad reviews but my discrimination did not end when I resigned. Sadly this still is going on after my employment ended. I officially resigned from this base in January 2022. 07 Jan 22 to be exact and this is going on Feb 2022 someone has still been falsifying my time in the pay system as if I am still employed there and placing me under leave without pay status (known as LWOP). This is after I have turned in my resignation and no longer working at this base. This has added up to 151 hours to date of LWOP post my resignation. It is no way this is right, fair, or just following my resignation for anyone to still be approving my time as if I am still employed, this has ultimately stopped me from receiving my retirement benefits. It’s embarrassing that a military base have treated me this way. I experienced racial issues during my short employment at this base and I would highly tell any minority who read this please do not work at Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachusetts. They seriously need help with there diversity numbers and more than likely will want to hire more minorities. I relocated from Oklahoma City never been to Massachusetts or this base and from before I actually moved myself and husband to this location we lost our on base housing a week before we moved due to (no longer being qualified). It was one thing after another which explains my reason for resigning. I left to pursue my happiness in a new career and I pray this review will help someone out there who I pray will not experience what I did at Hanscom. Thank you!

Annette Wassell: We stayed at the Famcamp in July 2021. The host and hostess are very nice people; however, the rv park could use some upkeep. The bath house needs to be cleaned and is desperate for some upgrades (broken sink and stalls need repair). The park roads could use some rock because when it rains, there is nothing but mud holes. It appears some Campers are there for a long time (not sure about that 30 day policy). The grass doesn't look like it's been mowed in a month. The location is close to historic and sight seeing areas.

Matt Kind: "Those who defeat others are strong, those who defeat themselves are mighty."

Richard Worthen: I worked on the civilian side at a company that no longer exists. Helio Aircraft Corporation. We worked on military projects including the space shuttle trainer program, ITEC camera, defense projects and major fighter jet modifications for recon missions long ago.Also I went to East Coast Aero Technical School there. A certificate program for presentation in taking the tests for your A&P and General aviation license for aircraft maintenance. I spent six years at the civil air terminal in total. It is a really great place to keep aircraft and have service and pilot education. I have many fond memories of working, receiving education and making friends at Hansom. Really wonderful airfield.

Bonnie Miller: As far as Air Force bases go, Hanscom is one of the good ones. Great location, close-ish to Boston and tons of job opportunities. It has a BX and commissary, nice gym with plenty of equipment and classes, gas station, car wash, theater, MWR, hospital... For how small it is, it really has everything.

Joe Schroder: Great accommodations no far from downtown Boston.

Benjamin Keith: Awesome

Peter Glidden: A great place with great staff. Always fly safe!

Gerry Doyon: For such a small base it has lots of amenities--gym, movie theater, Base Exchange, grocery store, military clothing, the works! And, I've also enjoyed staying in base lodging I would enjoy going back again.The only negative is the massive amount of traffice in the morning and the aevening commute.

David Grigorian: Convenient airport for private flying classes or to park your private jet.

Zach Kiefer: Best place for your private jet.

Shawn Kennedy: A great place to stay for any reason. Well appointed rooms in a very convenient location.

Brendon “Kirbachu” Lee: good

Noah Silverman: Many airplanes.

Nicholas Taylor: Loved it lived and stationed there 3years didn't wanna leave but retrained :(

J Mayer: Phone either doesn't work, or they choose not to answer.

Leah Johnson: I’ve had MIXED EXPIERENCES in this place mostly everybody that works in here very professional very nice but I have had an issue with one female who purposely did not tell every guest coming to see me to get a pass and did not explain the guidelines was very Short with answers and then once my family tried to follow me onto base she walked out the back door of the visitor center watched as we got stopped and laughed and then I asked the guy can my aunt just jump into my car with me and I can get her on so we do not have to go inside and he said yes good idea that will work! And the female began to run to the gate and say no and make a scene ,however it was allowed! It’s crazy I don’t understand some motives or unprofessional actions! Other then her I have had multiple great expierences and questions answered from mostly everybody else that worked there! bring everybody inside with you who’s visiting if there’s kids you can wait with them in the car and send in your guests and they will work with you! And your guest can wait with the kids and switch you can go in! Make sure you have insurance for car and registration! They DO BACKGROUND checks on all guests do not bring anything Not allowed and you will have good expierences I hope!

Steve: Truck gate has excessive wait times with no restroom facilities for drivers who have to wait these extraordinary hours. Guards were rude and threatening when asked to use the restrooms. As a veteran myself I consider this deplorable.Update:Had to wait 2 hours to get to the entrance. It is 92 degrees for the heat index over 100 and was put into a little trailer to set while they inspect the truck no AC no water. You can't even do this to a prisoner.

Jessica Stringfield Edwards: Commercial and commuting gate.

Radney Cabrera: Great place

Steven Eldredge: As always, the airmen were pleasant and efficient.

Stephen McClendon: Great service
