You got to be kidding? Being plunked down in the best hunting/fishing place in the States? There are no cons!!

I spent 2.5 Years in Anchorage(FT Richardson) and 2.5 in Fairbanks (Ft Wainwright).. All I can tell you about the AF side of JBER is....... we tended to go to the AF chow Hall for lunch... Got so bad, post commander put a gate guard between the two bases and was checking ID and reason for visit... If you said DFAC, you got turned around.....I was a Jumpmaster and Air Force Load planner among others things so of course I was always going over they on business,,,,,,,,and eating lunch.

I just left there two years ago, they took down the gate but you can still see where it was.

SSgt Michael Smith - As you likely noted it's been a few years since I lived there.. I lived in Wasilla as I own a home there.... its a heck of a drive in the winter so not something Id recommend. Things change very rapidly so I doubt I have a good feel for the better places to live.
