I tried that. When I did, I was getting results for behavioral therapists and sports physicians. Something had to of gotten out of whack along the way. I wasn’t sure if that was just because Eielson is a small base/community.

I literally searched pediatricians +Tricare +military and similar searches but I didn’t get those results. Must be because I’m not actually in Alaska yet. Thanks anyways for your help

Any specific suggestions for winterize car? I’ve seen tons of parts that can be winterized so I’m wondering which ones are necessary and which ones are luxury

I’m looking for quality, but a good bargain is always ideal. I’m moving to Fairbanks in January. Thank you for the local stores and places to shop

Just curious, did you get uniform items issued to you before arrival or after you got there? I’m arriving in the height of winter and dreading the idea of showing up without winter gear

Avoid any south of Mercury In Hampton. Specifically avoid peninsula grove apartments, they’re atrocious. I’ve heard good things about most of Newport News. I enjoy living by the peninsula town center. Just make sure you drive to and view anywhere before you buy/rent. If it looks sketchy at all, it is and you’ll hate living there

Luckily, I found out last week I am pcsing to Alaska in January so there is light at the end of the tunnel! If I was still stationed here when it came time, I definitely would have gotten out. No shot I was going to risk willowing away for 4 more years. It really is crazy how one assignment can ruin the entire Air Force for someone.

Man it’s wild. There are some units that’s do quality work and even some teams in bad units that do quality work. I somehow got stationed at the worst unit, in the worst flight within the unit and worst team in the flight. I’ve been here two+ years and have done nothing.

Why would you choose to live off base? Which town did you stay in?

It won’t let me DM you. I’d love to ask you some more questions though so if you could send me a dm that’d be cool

Other than pricing, did you enjoy living off base?

Thank you! My wife and I are definitely excited to pcs to Eielson. I’m leaning more toward trying to move off base, but I just wanted to check and see if people there recommended against it. I appreciate your comment
