I was stationed at Eielson from 07-09, so I feel your pain. I'm assuming based on the screen name and the fact that you're actually in Fairbanks that you're on Fort Waineright?

If you haven't already stumbled to the pink hut for oriental food, I highly recommend it. An Asian girl I dated took me there and I'll never forget that place. The octopus is pretty good there. I liked going antiquing in Fairbanks too. You can find some pretty cool old stuff. If you get bored one weekend, especially in the winter, head to the hot springs. They're like a natural hot tub, and it feels great.
