Hey were right outside of fairbanks. My advice is to bring or mail anything that you need immediately after getting here. It takes about a month for household goods to arrive. And to save money id wait to buy winter gear till you're here. Its cheaper and will save more room in your luggage. Be prepared the prices here are much more expensive than whatd they normally be. Also on facebook theres a couple groups that are great for meeting people and getting information about whats going on post. Theres also a playgroup once a week on post for younger children. Im not sure if hes army or airforce but when you get the chance search for ft wainwright spouses groups. Theyre adding more all the time. If youd like to add me on facebook for more information or want some more tips about the weather just let me know. Good luck!
