    Well ya'll I "officially" have been notified that I've been accepted to be an AF recruiter. I'll either get Duluth or Jonesboro to work out of. Don't know much about Jonesboro...just that its only 13 miles or so south of downtown ATL. Nice area? I've lurked a little online and it doesn't seem too bad. Houses are affordable. Never been there. Opinions on the area? Thanks.

    Is this the Jonesboro that had the School Shooting, I could probably look on the back of my shirt, but I am at work now, and the shirt is not appropriate for work, actually the shirt is not appropriate ever. I never noticed the evil looks I got when wearing it until I was back in PA.

    okay so traffic sucks, but i think ATL traffic sucks in general. how's the crime there? its not in a ghetto area is it? i've never been there so i'm just trying to get a feel of what its like there cause thats my 2nd choice of places to go.

    henry co in general if pretty nice, i even found a couple dirt roads, almost felt like i was back in the country, everone pointed me towards there instead of clayton co. as far as traffic goes its the worst place i have ever drove in atlanta, dare i say maybe worse than 400, just because of the lanes combining and add 675 s to mix mix and :barf:

    Jonesboro is ghetto IMO. Most parts anyways. Some parts are still old school and nice. But for the most part Afro-Americans live there. Look to either Fayettville, Peachtree City, McDonough, and Locust Grove. All w/i 30 mins of Jonesboro.

    I live in Henry Co. Let me know if I can help you out when you come back to the states.
