I remember when I was in the Air Force in late 70s the biggest fear I had was being stationed at Thule Air Force Base in Thule, Greenland.

Thule Air Base has been renamed. It is now Pitffik Space Base.

Thule was not exactly “Las Vegas”, I’m guessing.
Not on or off the base.
What was there to do while on Liberty?
Watch the whales going one way....

I remember that. Then I heard “why not Minot” and decided to keep my mouth shut.

I was stationed in Minot ND in the early 70’s.
Thule would have been a step up.

I worked with a guy who served in the Air Force at Thule in the 1950s. He said that after his experience there, every place he lived seemed like paradise.

Yeah, but I’ll bet the fishing was good. Not much competition.

I know someone who served there in the 80s. He enjoyed it.
