I remember standing outside in the freezing cold waiting for colors to put the flag up or down and they would forget to play it! Lol. Was there during the 7.7 earthquake. On nice sunny days the CO would give us sunshine liberty so that we could get off work and enjoy the outside. So many good memories!

Very nice video! I was stationed @ Adak 3 times. I lived and worked at Bering Hill w NSGA/Company I Marine Support Battalion. My 1st tour barracks was the 2nd story bldg...the 1st one attached to what looks like a tunnel. My room was on 2nd floor...3rd in from left. I had a fantastic view of Clam Lagoon & Zeto Point. The dining hall & quarter deck were in the lower blding. The main NSG admin building was across the courtyard. The building that sits by itself @ around 37:19 was where I worked & was called Shotgun. It had a Wullenweber antennae (known as the dinosaur cage) surrounding it. I also worked at Zeto Point that had White Alice. Zeto Point was located a few kliqs from the main compound, to the right of the barracks. The road going out to it is next to the lagoon. It's quite disturbing and sad to see how much on the base had been allowed to deteriorate after it was turned over to the Aleut Corp.😢 Another video of yours shows some of the dependent & family housing. I was on island when some of those pre-fabbed houses were brought in. They were supposed to go to Hawaii. But it was gonna be too much trouble to ship back out, so they just erected them in this very unsuitable environment. The harsh weather has definitely taken a toll. That along with the vandalism of course... humans, which is often why we can't hv anything nice! There's a video by another poster that shows some of the activities of daily life. Check out "Adak Days Numbered", posted by teerav73. Hard to believe that 6000 people once lived there & it was one of the largest towns in AK. Adak is cold, rainy, & cloudy with lotts'a snow in winter. Also VERY windy. It is called The Birthplace of the Winds. Sunny days are infrequent & sometimes when there was one, the CO would call a "Sunshine Day", and ya could get a day off to go out & enjoy it. That's if you had a job that would allow for several people to be off work. There is no place like Adak...in my humble opinion. The landscape & scenery are awesome as is the wildlife! Eagles, ptarmigan (a type of bird), otters, and caribou...w the caribou being at a different place on the island. Tundra stomping was a favored activity. I plan on going out there this Fall & am so looking forward to the trip! This time I'll be flying on Alaskan Airlines instead of RAA...Reeves Aleutian Airways. Chris, is the fish processing plant still in operation? Thanks so MUCH for sharing these wonderful videos!! ❤

I've watched Chris's (& some by other posters) Adak videos & am just amazed at the deterioration of the buildings & other things. I'm gobsmacked at the amount of stuff that was left behind. Such a waste! I realize that anything that was gonna leave the island had to go by way of plane or ship/barge..which is very expensive, but GOOD GRIEF! No wonder the govt often runs outta money! I also wonder why the Aleut Corp didn't do MORE with all that was turned over to them after the base closure. There was at one time a discussion abt putting a prison out there, but that idea was scuttled, because it was suggested that a prison in such a place might be considered cruel & unusual punishment. Really? 😮 Yet, thousands of military personnel (myself included), dependents, govt contractors, other civilians & pets/animals lived and worked on Adak and did just fine. SMDH Still, I enjoy reading everyone's comments about their Adak experiences. Brings back such good memories. And if I hadn't been there myself, wouldn't believe such a UNIQUE place exists. Just heard on the news that last night, 03/10/23 a volcano erupted in eastern Russia near the Kamchatka(sp) Peninsula, that spewed ash over quite a distance. Adak & Shemya are very near the Peninsula...I wonder if any ash could be seen over the islands?

When we shut down NSGA and boarded it up, we left most of the infrastructure in place. Vandalism is sad to see from anything coming off the island. Once environmental services are shut down, the mold and deterioration of buildings takes over pretty quickly. We entered one of the barracks as part of the departure inventory after 6 months and there was 6" of green stuff growing in the carpets.

I was detached from NMCB-62 for a nine month deployment in the early 80’s to Adak as part of barrack, afrts renovation and asbestos removal. I loved it so much I offered to reenlist if I could stay on Adak for a tour of duty but was denied. I was sorry to hear the base was abandoned as was Rosy Roads.

Quite a walk down memory lane! NCS later named NSGA Adak, Alaska was my first duty station as a 19 y.o. PNSN fresh out of “A” School. I worked in the Personnel Office and lived in the barracks from 12/76-12/77. Although a huge adjustment for a native Californian, I have many fond memories of my time on Adak. Sad to see NSGA and the rest of the Naval facilities abandoned and in ruin.

I was stationed there 92-94. Beginning at about 18:20 you see the Ptarmigan Club aka P-Club. Behind the drywall where people signed their names is a wall drawn in the 1940's depicting an Aleuts Village. It's very cool. We were not allowed to display it when we discovered it because it was not politically correct. Behind the glass walls across from the bowling alley was a snack bar. The people in MWR worked hard at NSGA. THANK YOU. Thanks for posting this video. MWR had P-Club, snack bar, bowling, ceramics shop, hobby shop, auto shop, the gym for sports and movies.

Much of the damage is due to Adak’s intense winds. But vandalism is frequent. Even the coast guard caught its service members destroying property in 2018. Here’s a quote from Lt. Brian Dykens in the Anchorage Daily News: “There's just a lot of people running around town, including hunters, fishermen, fish processing workers, history buffs, television crews and tourists drawn by TV shows featuring caribou hunting and antiques," he said. "People think they can do whatever they want, and it makes it incredibly difficult, especially for a city government with just six employees… People that come to the island just don't care.”

I remember driving into that area one morning and there were probably 20 or so Eagles just hanging out by a garbage dumpster. They weren't getting into it, just sitting around - very surreal. That wall with the names - I believe that might have been the bar? If not, there is a bar in that area where people were writing their names. I had completely forgotten about it. Did you visit the Otters? There is bay near there where they lived - lots of fun to watch them.
