Millington was ok. I learned to fly there. I went to AO A School there in 1990. But in my free time took flying lessons. I went to Aircrew school first in Pensacola. Going from NAS Pensacola to NAS Millington was like going from Beverly Hills to Compton.

I was in Boot Camp at Great Lakes NTC Summer of 1949, some of us from our Boot Camp Company got sent to Millington Fall of 1949. First week we were tested to see how good we were at soldering electrical wires. I stayed there for Aviation Machinist Mate School, and two of my friends who wanted to be an Aviation Bo'sun mate because they worked with their dad who was a plumber, got that, ended up on the Catapults on the ... forgot the carrier, might have been the Boxer.
My final test was to change the fuel pump on an F4F, simple, no problem, got shipped to VP-42 at North Island NAS. I liked San Diego, had to rent a locker for our civilian clothes, lots of clubs, lots of things to do locally and in Mexico ...
Some months later, I was changing spark plugs on a PBM Mariner, Chief yelled up at me to pack my seabags.
Why Chief?
You're going to sea.
Where do I go?
The ship at the end of the dock.
Next day, seabag on my shoulder, no back pack straps, I boarded CV-47 USS Philippine Sea headed for the Korean War, this was the start of the Korean War. I ended up pumping gas as an Aviation Bo'sun Mate and most of us from North Island were placed in all kinds of jobs where sailors were still on leave, having a good time in Mexico, etc.
I swore in for three years, but President Truman gave me a One Year Extension, he could not win the Korean War without me and those of us who joined for three years ... ended up three years and ten months, and then became a Reborn Civilian !!!! GI BILL etc. etc. ETC.
Re: Millington, rode the bus to Memphis, did not know about Elvis in 1949, my pay was about $80 a month, don't recall exactly, but time at Millington NAS went by quickly, don't recall much about what we did when we were not in school .... I liked Memphis, did not know much then, no Google, no Internet to learn, only had Life magazine and National Geographic at the barber shop, etc. to learn more about the world .....

Just north of Memphis,suburb. Go to Graceland, but only if you want to
see something out of the Beverly Hillbillies! Good God, the 60s and 70s
were tacky!
I was there in 1969/70 attending AD(J) school then a "C" school for helicopters and from there to Imperial Beach, Ca.
Ream Field, if I remember correctly. Spent many nights watching sun go down and then rise again before I went home.
Then, after a few years, they closed the base and made it NALF Ream Field. Anyway, on to your questions.
Watch out for hookers in town, never go with one as it is a setup for getting rolled or killed. There were some stables there where I used to go riding, very enjoyable if it is still there. Play it safe. There wasn't much more there that I remember now. We stayed in scraggly old wooden barracks that were falling apart.
Best thing to do is study hard for those promotions. After I got out, I spent 39 1/2 years working at Pratt & Whitney and retired. I was making over $48 an hour when I retired. Would still be working if it wasn't for the cancer. Good Luck.
