Does anyone have any useful information relevant to a PCS to Fort Richardson, Alaska?

My orders changed and instead of wainwright I got Richardson. I'm headed to 59th signal battalion. I was just trying to get some info on the unit and post. Also if anyone has any connections to great realtors in the area it would be much appreciated. Extremely excited to go just focusing on getting housing as soon as we get there or earlier if need be. I have 2 small children and 2 dogs as well.

Just be happy that you got Richardson. Much better than Wainwright, but it still does not mean it will not change once you get up there. Happened all the time were a service member would arrive at Richardson and then they would be shipped out to Wainwright a month later. Either way get ready for your CIF issue of like 3 duffels full of cold weather gear.

You need to impress upon your kids that Moose ARE NOT CUTE. More people die in ALasaka each year from moose than do from bears. They may be herbivores, but they're herbivores that approach a ton, are very fast, and are as mean as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Kids see Bullwinkle and think they're cute. They are not. You need to have a discussion with them about it, because moose are everywhere, even in town.

And I am really sorry you heading to a signal unit and not signal. Good luck getting good NCOER. I am 25U and do my best to stay away from signal units
