I had a three year assignment at Ft. Richardson near Anchorage in the early 70's. Best assignment ever. The big game license and tags are pricey; however they used to be half price for the military (I think they still are). Be sure to get to Great Northern Guns in Anchorage. In addition to the ptarmagain, spruce hen and a few other grouse, you will find waterfowl shooting unbelievable...short season, but fantastic. Definitely hunt moose and caribou if you care about big game. I spent time for Dall Sheep and black bear also. Interior grizzly are beautiful. You will love the assignment. Winters are a little depressing due to lack of light, otherwise you are close to heaven!
Pike and char fishing are wonderful and tons of fun.
God Bless you for serving. I enjoyed everyday I served.
