Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst Passenger Terminal

Flown out of here about 2 or 3 times. The last time was really inconvenient the plane nroke and was delayed for 4 hours with no updates I mean we had to search out the personnel to ask what was going on. Literally 10 minutes after a couple walked out and went home the announcement was made that we’d be boarding now. I mean cmon if you had kept us updated they’d have made the flight.
Other than that one time I’ve had no issues with this terminal.

My wife and I used the McGuire Pax Terminal to fly space available to and from Ramstein, Germany while on leave.
Overall the pax terminal runs a great operation but seems to lack strong leadership on the ground. When we were flying out only a few young airmen were present to check us in, screen our luggage, and drive us across the flight-​line. The presence of a senior airman or junior officer might help with the organizational side.
During the security checks the airmen rushed our luggage through the scanner, it seemed more of a check the box exercise than anything else. When I asked if they cared that I had a water bottle on me and a can of Monster they shrugged it off and waved us on. Overall not sure why I’m complaining, I wish the TSA was this fast.
The terminal runs a GREAT facebook site with up-​to-​date flight times:
Don’t be afraid to call the terminal if you have any questions. I found the young airmen to be much more helpful and well informed than their counterparts in my own branch of service.
We flew both ways on a C-​17 which isn’t the most comfortable but not horrible. Make sure to bring a warm blanket, a neck pillow, and books/​movies. There are 110V plugs on C-​17s to keep your devices going. I recommend a small power strip, it might make you the most popular person on the plane. Check with the air crew first of course.
