Travis was in a good location. I spent every day off I could camping in a different spot in the Sierras.
There is so much stuff to see and do in that area of CA.
I did finally move off base, a very hard thing to do as Airman pay was skimpy and unless you were married, you got no housing or food allowance.
My First Sgt. had to sign the paperwork. He was a racist black creature, said he wasn't going to sign them because I was moving off base just to get away from the "brothers".
He was furious, but signed the papers when I told him who my roommate was going to be. A black guy he referred to as an "uncle Tom", who is highly educated and speaks with an Oxford accent.
Good story!
In other words, "acting white."
