They have somesort of temp housing on the AFB that they allow you to stay in. Kinda like a hotel. he can check into that. It is at the other end of his base. The AFB is Elmendorf...

We stayed in it as we transitioned to another base....

Just a posibility

My husband spent 2 yrs up their commercial fishing.
I have 2 really good friends that live in Anchorage.
If DH had his way., we'd be living up there now... JUST CAN'T AFFORD IT! The cost of living is OUTRAGEOUS!
