Funny you should ask, Boss.

Seems when I was enlisting I asked for Hawaii . . . and the recruiter said he could not get me Hawaii. He said he always wanted to go to Alaska, and he could get me Alaska. So, silly me, I said I'd take it.

The Fourth of Ninth Infantry at Fort Wainwright Alaska (right outside of Fairbanks in the middle of Alaska) was the best eighteen months of my life.

Hey man.

Another veteran on the board in secret! THANKS for serving Zim! Obviously you volunteered. But did you have a choice as to where you would be serving at? Wow.

My childhood neighbor and friend live in Alaska and love it.. I told Jerry it was too cold for even me. But the view he has of the mountain range from his deck is awe inspiring.. I can see why he loves it..

He was a meteorologist before he retired. Very nice person..

Welcome to the board veterans club my friend!
While Ribs and I are are Marines we are glad to welcome the Army as well ! Welcome to the family!!!!! Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Propeller Propeller
