McGuire AFB is located in Southern New Jersey nestled between New York City and Philadelphia. McGuire itself is a small community that is intertwined with a larger Joint Base community (welcome to the only tri-service base in the DOD). In the four years we have spent here we have learned so much about the base itself, the missions supported, and the vastly different areas around us. From the Jersey Shore, to the Pocono Mountains there is something for everyone here!
Things to know about McGuire Air Force Base
Since moving to the area I have developed a love for quick day trips to LBI where I get free parking one block from the beach, the great friends we have made in the KC-10 community, and appreciation for access to three vastly different major cities with art, history, and adventure around each corner!
