Cold and isolated. My son is stationed at Elmendorf AFB (JBER) and they say that Wainwright is a lot colder and gets a bunch more snow. Good hunting from what I&#39;ve heard from guys that were stationed at Eielson AFB. Good luck on your move. An assignment is what you make of it.

I wouldn&#39;t have wanted to live off post as a single soldier (not sure they would have let me anyway). If you can deal with the cold and the long periods of &quot;darkness&quot; in the winter, you&#39;ll be just fine. And you can deal with the cold. Funny, I joined up in the time when they told me that I could get a guaranteed overseas assignment - the recruiter was like, &quot;Germany, yeah! Girls and beer.&quot; I thought that was awesome until I got my orders. I went and found a drill sgt at Ft Benning and said, &quot;uh, there&#39;s a problem with my orders&quot;. He was like, &quot;there&#39;s no problem&quot;. I was like, &quot;I&#39;m not going to Alaska&quot; and he was like &quot;Yes you are&quot; and I was like &quot;no, no, I have orders for a guaranteed overseas assignment - I&#39;m going to Germany!&quot; (so there!). He just laughed and told me that the Army considered Alaska overseas. lol. I had a GREAT time there. If you like any kind of outdoor activity you&#39;ll love it.
