Andrews BX seems wayyy smaller than the one at Elmendorf. As far as food goes, there's only a taco bell, charley's, robin hood lemonade, and a pizza store. There was a Captain D's but last time I went it was closed. The BX isn't connected to the commisary, but you just walk past the parking lot to get there. They're adding an extension to the BX as far as I know with more food joints and stores and such. Not sure if it'll extend as far as connect to the commisary though. And there' a GNC too, haha.

On JB MDL the MPs get all mad when you put your hand over your heart while under a surface during retreat. At the commissary, retreat was playing then the national anthem and my dad and I were standing under the I guess cover outside the commissary and an MP that just got off duty walked passed us all pissed of and said, "Get your hands off your hearts, we're under garrison." or something like that. Then of course my dad was about to rip him a new ass hole when I guess he remembered officers 'set the tone' as he put it.

You should visit the hand tram when it gets warmer. The hand tram is scary but fun lol if you go don't go alone.

You receive an annual (1) check per year which can vary from $700 up to $2,000+/-. So in reality, nobody actually gets "paid" to live here. Have a good job in Alaska or more than one if you want to live comfortably. Cost of living is twice or more than the majority of the U.S.
