Opinions of Fort Greely, Alaska?

I'm stationed here now. I'm PCSing out this summer and am not ready to leave yet. I am active and not Guard, but from what I've seen in my about three years here I'd switch if I could. If you like outdoor activities (summer and winter) then you'll love it here. If you prefer large cities and shopping malls, you'll hate it. It's 100 miles one way to WalMart. Seems terrible but it's actually quite nice. Everyone here knows everyone and it has a great small town feel. I'd stay forever if the Army allowed it. This is the first place where I loved my job AND the family loves living here! If you have more questions let me know and/or I can get you in contact with some of the Guard people.

I was stationed there 93-96. There have been a lot of changes since then. But if you enjoy the outdoors, it is a great place for hunting and fishing, mountaineering, etc. In the winter it will be extremely cold and around late December-early January, you don't get much sunlight. It is the opposite in summer though. The nearest McDonalds was 80 miles away so it is remote. Hope this helps.

Loved it I was traffic and fish and game best assignment I ever had
