It has been years! I was stationed there in the 80s My God, it looks so different. I was there 10 years, miss it! I loved it. Housing is so different. They rebuilt it! Memories! Memories! They probably tore it down. I went there a SSgt and left a MSgt!!!!!
My husband is a retired Marine. This video reminded me of all the bases we lived at during our twenty years. You did a great job showing all the important things a family would need to feel at home. All bases should have a "welcome video "done as well as yours.💜
As the mom of two serving in Canadian armed forces just wanted to give a big Thank You to all the American air force personnel protecting your country. Military life is not always easy on families but this fantastic facility certainly tries to help!
Happy Somers I truly looooved this video! Fantastic Air Base! I was trained at an Air Force Hospital over seas and the Air Force will always have a special place in my heart! Thank you for the video!!!! God bless you guys!! PS:I'm thrilled the comments are baaaack!!!♡♥♡♥♡♥
My son is stationed at Creech AFB at the moment but it so nice to see the places he could be sent as his mother. He would be in the officer homes! Thank your mom for her service!
We have friends that were stationed there from '95-'99. They also were active in the AWANA program in North Pole. My husband is retired Air Force as well. Our oldest is now a member of the AF. I love watching your family.
Jessica thank you for the base tour . What does your mother do in the Air National Guard ? How long ago did your dad retire from the Air Force @ Eilson AFB ? Please thank your dad for me for his SErvice ? I'm an Air Force Veteran & a VA retiree .
My dad was retired Air Force and I am a proud Air Force "brat" I thoroughly enjoyed this video. It brought back so many memories of my wonderful childhood growing up all over the world. I Didn't realize it then but I do now how incredibly blessed I've been. ❤

We were looking forward to this video!! After we saw the footage on instagram, I couldnt wait for you to post it!!! Thank you for filming at Eielson!! What a gift you gave us!! A fun trivia fact!! As you panned over the Portraits of Distinguished Military Personnel, The very first picture is of Dr. Heather Wilson, Current Secretary of the Air Force!! She has applied and is the Sole Choice in the running to replace Dr. Diana Natalicio, The University of Texas El Paso (UTEP) Current President who is retiring after 30 years this year!! Just thought to share that with you!!! The Air Force Base is a beautiful place and I'm glad you had this blessing of an opportunity to be there!! We have been to Air Shows in our city at US Army Base Fort Bliss. We are honored to meet so many wonderful soldiers and their families!! Love and Hugs to All!! Pamela
Having had ZERO real life exposure to anything military, it was HUGE compared to what I imagined one being like. I'm guessing only family members of active military are allowed access to the facilities?
Look at you - you little news reporter- you did so great with this video and the placement of the music. I know this has to be huge help to new families or service men headed to Alaska. Our base here in Brunswick Maine, was closed and I honestly miss it.
My uncle's served in the navy during WWII my one uncle was on the USS PENNSYLVANIA. My father was in the army during the Korean war. And recently my nephew was a SP in the navy. Assigned to Cuba. He is out now. I never served, but wish I did now. No airmen in my family that I'm aware of. This was a great look at our line of defense in Alaska. Maybe next time a interview with some high ranking officers on base there??? Will give yah a thumbs up! 😎🤓🤪😜
Air Force needs to use this video for every person coming to that area. You did a fantastic job and as a former military member this video would help so many families and single Airmen out.Great job!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this awesome, extremely informative video tour of Eielson AFB. I literally just found out today that I will PCS to this base as a follow-on assignment in September of 2020 after my tour in Korea. Being from the South, my family and I wasn't sure what to expect, but we are now super excited after watching this video. Thanks again and God Bless!
Very cool Somers family. I've been on a base before but that one is REALLY nice. I lived in AZ for a while and worked on Luke AFB(not military) it was an Honor to get to work every day with the men and women who serve our country!!! Have a great day somers family, God Bless.
Somers Family It's a pleasure meeting you and you sharing your vlogs with us God bless you and your Family always you are always happy that what I love It's all about Family take care and thank you your Friend from California
That was an awesome video! My husband and I were both in the Air Force, and stationed at Eielson in the late 80's early 90's. We actually met on base, and where married at the old Chapel 30 yrs ago this year. We lived off base in North Pole. It was amazing to see how much has changed over the years, and I thank you for that because of your vlog!! We are hoping to come back and visit next year.
Grew up Navy next to an Air Force Base. That BX is way nicer than the one we shopped at in the 1970's. 🤪🤣 what a great tour. The amenities on base now are fantastic for families. 👍
I’m former Air Force, of course trained at Lackland AFB, Texas, then School training at Sheppard AFB, Wichita Falls, Texas, then Kadena AB, Okinawa 3 years, then finally Charleston AFB, SC then out
Such a wonderful video!! An amazing facility for our brave and families. Loved"America " playing in the background! As with your beautiful " Star Spangled Banner " you sang, I had a lump in my throat and tears. May God bless America!! God's blessings to your family!!
Lovely vlog!!! Thanks so much for giving us an inside look at all this....for me coming out from the mennonite/non-resistant group i really had no clue....but this was a big eye opener and im so glad you shared. God bless yall and God bless the men and women who serve our country!!!😇🇺🇲🙏
Okay, you made me cry... I was so wishing that I had made different choices about 45 years ago... but, this Air Force base is top notch... thank you for the tour and you did good, especially the last with America playing, oh mercy!!
What a wonderful tribute to our military! I was a Navy kid and we only lived on Base once but it was an unforgettable experience. Unfortunately, it was during the Vietnam War and a time when many people were anti-military. Thankfully, times have changed and our men and women in the Armed Forces are getting the respect that they have always deserved! The ending of your vlog brought tears to my eyes. Jess, you produced a beautiful program that will be so useful to military families coming to Alaska! Thank you for an outstanding job!
Bless you Jessica for this wonderful exposure. I personally would move there in a heartbeat. The facilities are absolutely amazing. Greetings from South Africa
Great video! Impressive military base options! (P.s. I love even the little details you guys add in as you are filming.... the road as you drive away, the landscape, etc. Alot of effort goes into each detail, and it adds so much depth. Great film work/editing)
My parents moved to the North Pole in '79, my father AF retired shortly thereafter. My parents built a home on Broadway Road, in fact. :) (Off base.) Watching this was fantastic - I love how patriotic your family is.
We’re here at JBER Anchorage. I love being able to get into the base, seems like a complete different City! Thanks for the tour, i’d love to visit there someday. :) -A retired Airforce wife.
Hello happy people's!!? Wow, the on base houses are gorgeous!! And that gym is ginormous!!?! All kinds of fun stuff to do for the hole family. The base really offer such an inviting and home town feel within a base. Plenty to keep everyone busy. Love that they have a chapel on base and so informative. Thanks Jessica for the info!!
