Let me tell you about this place called Cannon. When you find out you have orders here you either cry or jump for joy, there is no in between. You'll post on the Cannon spouse page and ask if it's really as bad as everyone says.

You'll never end up in Clovis, New Mexico on vacation. If you are in Clovis, it's because you live here. It's not a stop on the way to a vacation spot and it's not anywhere you would actually want to visit. So if you're reading this, I know you're a resident. Don't fret, I've got the low down on the hidden gems that will make you feel good about your time in Clovis whether it's for a year or two or twelve. These aren't in any particular order, just make sure you check them all out during your time in the land of "entrapment".

Coffee is life, and I'm filling you in on the local coffee shops to keep your sanity during your time at Cannon. While Clovis lacks options for shopping, it actually has an abundance of coffee shops. Our squadron wives meet every Wednesday morning for coffee and we alternate shops so I have been to all of these!

When we arrived at Cannon Air Force Base in 2015 there was not a lot for kiddos to do, indoors in particular. Lots of days it will be too cold, too hot or too windy to play outside so thankfully there are quite a few options now!
