While stationed here, I had a blast. So many things to do outdoors. Bears and other wildlife would interrupt pt time. If you love the outdoors then this base is great. In the winter time the base might be frozen ice but still had fun doing my job freezing in the cold and all. Clean. You feel safe Army & Airforce.. duel military spouses dream. Beautiful place. Friendly people. And a place where you actually feel safe. It is 841 am June 22. I work on Ship Creek. Sirens have been blaring on-and-off for almost 30 minutes. Very scary. The Fire Department knew nothing and suggested I call the Elmendorf base. I called the Elmendorf base and the woman I spoke to knew nothing as well. Thank you Anchorage Military. JBER, a combination of Army Fort Richardson and Air Force Elmendorf. Joint Base Elemendorf-Richardson. I had the pleasure of staying her a few days while in Alaska on vacation at the Air Force TLF (Temporary Lodging Facilities) as a home base between stints in Seward and off base Hotels. I’m going to butcher a lot of the specifics because I’m not military. I was a dependent as a youth and this trip was planned for by my sister (Air Force) There is some redundancy on gates due to a combination of bases, but as we were still getting used to the 10:30pm summertime sunsets, most gates close early and without schedule/warning making entry slightly more difficult. There was an airshow when we arrived so the road closures and road blocks to keep public to certain areas of the base made a lot of back tracking. The main roads are well maintained, but parking lots are pretty much at the mercy of the extreme weather with some deep potholes. It’s a pretty flat base and you can see planes take off in the distance from almost anywhere. The PX/BX is cool, reminds me of a Fred Meyer, but with a dedicated food court and some outside vendors. Commissary it’s pretty basic. Gas is cheap probably due to the oil Alaska produces. The Burger King on base closes early even though we stocked the fridge at our housing. What I did make use of was the recreational facility. You can rent a hot tub there? Coolers, rain gear, bikes, fishing gear, archery gear for hunting, kind of whatever you need. It all was really cheap, if not free. I didn’t explore too much because of the 100% security check and it’s a big base and I didn’t feel like biking around it too much. There was a bowling alley and a bar that’s got limited schedule. It’s a pretty cool base, but we had some issues with TLF and quality, but rec facility made up for it.
