That's a big one... You may want to hang on to it if you ever get kicked out of the house!

Oh man does that bring back memories!

I HAVE A SHOP IN THE BACKGROUND THATS MY DOG HOUSE. IT BRINGS BACK MEMORIES FOR ME TO BUT I WAS A MEDIC AND WE STAYED IN A GP MEDIUM.

 

[Frank1960]

I was a medic also but those are what we used in Alaska usually hooked 2 together one for first aid and second for sleeping.

Frank1960,

Does bring back memories - My station was Fort Richardson - and we had those things - they were SOOOOOOO warm - NOT!

That is where I was stationed back in 85 and 86

 

[mrs.oroblanco]

I was there earlier than that - but I don't think much changed - actually, it has been built up a little in the last few years, but they "added on" rather than replaced things. (a friend of mine's son was stationed up in Alaska a couple of years ago).

Believe it or not - cold not withstanding - I really liked the area, and the base - it was really more friendly than some others.

I was in the 172nd Lt Inf Brigade - Alaska too, stationed at Ft Wainwright from 81-83. I was an MP and MP Investigator, so my unit (472nd MP Co) wasn't field authorized. We only used GP tents at the range and a couple times on hunting trips.
Never did get used to the cold, but it sure made everywhere else I been seem warmer.....

 

[mrs.oroblanco]

Wow, we've got alot of Alaskan-served military folks!

You're right, though - even though I'm much older (and right now living in South Dakota), I can dress and romp around and think its not NEARLY as bad as it could be!!!!!!! At least there is no frozen eyebrows - or eyelashes, or fogged up glasses (the kind you get from tucking your head down into your jacket)!

Besides, we had the animals.

Yeah in my opinion Alaska is one of the prettiest places I have ever been. Right now in Colorado and it takes a close second but Alaska will be 1st I think for ever. Would love to get a map of the base now to see how much it has changed. I did a google map of it last night and at least 3 of the buildings I lived in have been removed. I wanted to be stationed at Wainwright because I had some friends there but they stuck me in Infantry at Richardson instead. The first time I got up for PT and saw a Moose walking down the street blew me away lol

 

[69Javelin]

some rough times but great memories

Don't think I would have changed anything.
