hello has anyone been stationed at fort richardson in alaska . i am wondering how it is and looking for some info .

I am here now it is not bad at all sometimes the weather can be a little harsh but the Assignment is great

I'll be that way in October. I need off post housing. BUT I AIN'T gonna live in the projects or where "I can afford".

Fort Richardson= Harsh Weather no way! You guys are spoiled down there. Come spend some time at Wainwright, you'll think Richardson is heaven.

Ft Richardson soldiers are the butt of cold weather jokes up at Wainwright - I was stuck there for two years back in 99-00. I would run out to my car in -80 degree weather barefoot, t-shirt, shorts, and five months pregnant, while the officers from Rich would come up to the Wainwright DPW for a meeting and fly out before a package sent from Rich could be delivered to them.

I'm about to PCS to richardson too, where are some good places to live around there?
