Thank you sir!

[@shootstackreload2823]

I read on the Wainwright information page that you are able to store firearms on post housing as long it’s kept in a locked safe

[@Viajandoalto]

Hope one day I could travel to Alaska, meanwhile I learn from your videos! 👍🏽

[@alaska_realtor]

Thank you and you should! :)

[@libertystuffnthingsreviews829]

You are going to love it. A good restaurant to go to for dinner would be Moose’s tooth.

[@justintime753]

Still snow so enjoy

[@karmicneurot9829]

Toys and husky advice is on point!

[@alaska_realtor]

Thank you! In their defense, I have definitely made the toy mistake a time or two myself lol

[@karmicneurot9829]

@@alaska_realtor Try the toys out in the store, find what fits you from skis to snow machines.. then check the secondary markets! Them toys tho!

[@alaska_realtor]

Going to fort richardson Alaska august 19th for infantry and hopefully airborne even though i couldn't get it in my contract because i had a waiver

[@billf4724]

Buy the best mosquito repellent you can find. The stuff they issued me was akin to BBQ sauce to the little monsters.

[@shootstackreload2823]

Any idea on what firearm storage is like?

[@isaacdamm8945]

Wow you even do army stuff????? be there in a couple weeks ✌️

[@thebradenbunch4224]

Shipped items all over the world with no issues. What makes Alaska different?

[@guillermoortiz1492]

What of those who have vehicles? Do you recommend to sell them or bring them?

[@alaska_realtor]

It really depends on the vehicle, but most people will drive them up and accept that they're going to be a bit beaten up when they get here

[@tombagnell2412]

I am currently in AIT. I’m leaving for Airborne in a few days. I will be going to JBER. Will I get leave after Georgia before I go to Alaska?

[@trinidydae]

That’s exactly what I did. I just finished airborne school and I’m going to JBER haha. You should be able to take oconus leave after you graduate jump school.

[@JOSEVAZQUEZ-ng9lu]

How is it cause I graduate in a month and have airborne right after
