Kirtland Air Force Base Reviews

Spent 4 years at 4900 air base group motor pool 1973 to 1977 and enjoyed my tour. Much bigger today than it was back then. Alot of good memories. Barney Humble.

The base is fairly well featured - it has a large commissary with a multipurpose store, a McDonald's and is like any other air force base. Not much different.

A female service member attempted to stalk my husband and sent him gift packages from several states away. Her CO recommended she look up his home address using military information to send these gifts. So many laws are broken here every day.

Great base to visit . However, drive with caution. It seems speed enforcement is nonexistent. Speed signs are generally ignored as is the no talking on phones
While driving. Actually, at least one customer at Exchange has been hit in cross walk.

They keep taking our good planes and giving us horrible planes in return

The AFB is fairly small though has a decent BX and Commissary and gas station (which is open til midnight). The gate that is accessible 24 hours is now the Eubank gate. The gates on Gibson, Truman and Wyoming have varying hours, generally 0600-1800.

You need a pass to get on base. There are only a few places on base to get food.

Never been there but lived In NM for 10 years and have had good experience and bad experience out there.

Further proof that the U.S military does not value integrity at all. Always flying helicopters below the 1000 Ft. requirement causing unnecessary disturbance throughout the whole city of Albuquerque.

Wide variety of services for us military members. Commissary, Branch Exchange, Bank, Credit Union, Indoor/Outdoor Recreation Center & Storage. In the heart of ABQ, NM and not far from Los Lunas

Drove up to the Eubank gate to let the Air Force Base know that the signal left arrow light was not allowing other traffic to make a left. I waited at that left turn signal light while I watched traffic coming out of the base through the Eubank gate go, then the that traffic stopped; obviously they had a red light. So then it turned green for a pedestrian crossing heading towards the Air Force Base. When he crossed the light then turn green for the traffic heading out of the base. So I did not get my turn to continue on my way, So I drove to the gate to let them know that the signal light to let people go on there way: was not Working. He then asked me for my I.D., had me pull in to an area to wait for there military police on base. There military police held me there waiting for an hour and forty minutes. They gave me two tickets for not having my license with me and for not having insurance. Finally, they had my car towed.

I not kidding when it felt like I was in a different country; like one that is just allowed to ID you when they want and do whatever they want to you. While I was held, I asked if I could get out of my vehicle, they insisted that I could not. Then I asked if I could roll up my window, again they insisted again that I could not. Almost forgot when I first parked where they told me to; I was ordered with a shouting voice to put my hands on the steering wheel. Their treatment towards me was horrible and so very very disrespectfull. I was dumpfounded and very upset.

It s nice, but Somebody s been stealing parts of my grandpas boat. The cover, seats, cloth, etc.

I love the base, but not so much when you have people stealing from you. What a shame.

The definition of fun with so many things to do from eating good food to laser tag and so much more.

Home away from home! If you don t like it here, go to Pope on Bragg. Better yet, go up to Malmstrom up in Great Falls. Kirtland with all its sunshine and beautiful views will seem like a dream after visiting those places.

Beautiful base, stayed at the Kirtland Inn to help a family member move to the area.

Confusing for a first-timer, it is a nice base... TLF is a good price

Kirtland's story had it's beginnings in the 1920's, when a private air field was built on what is now the east side of the base and in the late 1930's, when Albuquerque's airport was built, two large military complexes existed which are unified as one base today. In 1942, the base was renamed for Col Roy C. Kirtland, a military aviation pioneer who was one of the first students to fly with the Wright brothers. While both Kirtland Field and Sandia Base made their contributions to the war effort, Los Alamos Laboratory scientists raced to develop the first nuclear weapons. In 1976 Kirtland became the hub of Air Force space technology, which later merged with the weapons lab to become Phillips Labs, then the Air Force Research Laboratory.

Kirtland AFB is the third largest installation in the Air Force Materiel Command occupying 51,558 acres and the mission encompasses world class munitions maintenance; readiness training; research, development and testing and base support to more than 200 tenant units to include: Department of Defense, Sandia National Laboratories, Phillips Lab, Air National Guard, 140th Fighter Wing, 58th Special Operations Wing, Air Force Inspection Agency, Air Force Research Laboratory for Directed Energy and Space Vehicles, NCO Academy, AF Safety Center, FA Health Care System, AF Operational Test and Evaluation Center.

People on base are very rude and drive worse than in the city. They act like they are better than everyone. I think military people should hold themselves to higher standards.
