I like your squirrel analogy. But are you the Grizzly Bear?
You're in the same town as J3B? I've been there a couple of times, along with seeing a large portion of the coastal parts of Alaska. My first time there was crazy night - I broke a guys nasal septum in a fight and then lost my virginity to a foul mouthed 26 year old Inuit girl with a good amount of missing teeth.
I've tried to convince my air force nephew and his wife that Elmondorf would be a great base to be stationed at.
