For Military Retirement

When I got my latest issue of USAA Magazine, something jumped off the cover and caught my eye.



In case you didn't catch it



I was so blown away by the ALICO building being on the cover that I didn't even realize that Texas A&M University was 2 pictures below it.

And here's what we all want to know. Why?



But, don't think that success is limited to Waco. Round Rock is #3 and B/CS is #4.



So USAA's Top 10 List for 2011 is:

1. Waco, TX
2. Oklahoma City, OK
3. Austin/Round Rock, TX (funny that RR got a mention but not any of the other suburbs)
4. College Station/Bryan, TX (I guess nobody told them it's B/CS, NOT CS/B)
5. Harrisburg/Carlisle, PA (Hershey's Chocolate & Three Mile Island)
6. San Angelo, TX
7. Madison, WI
8. Pittsburgh, PA (I think the economy has been so bad there that things are pretty cheap)
9. New Orleans/Metarie/Kenner, LA (Curious, the news media would have me believe the place was destroyed by a Hurricane)
10. Syracuse, NY

I've lived in 4 of the top ten and traveled to 8 of the top 10. Round Rock looks better and better all the time. Since this list is for Military Retirement, I guess Round Rock could stay on the list even though Austin's new Light Rail doesn't go there.

Honestly, with Waco being picked as #1, I figure this topic would have come up on the CenTex Board already.

I'm sure the VA has a lot to do with it.

According to the image a couple of posts above, B/CS has two four-year colleges. I'm trying to figure out where the second one is located.

Perhaps they're referring to Sam Houston in Huntsville being close by.

Fort Hood has more to do with it...USAA has a brand new, second office in Killeen.

When we got that magazine and read it my husband said well crap, more geezers coming to town....our son said, Yeah Dad, it'll be like a class reunion!

There are a lot of veterans around waco i live in clifton about 35 miles from waco
