Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling

1 year on assignment here would be a great place if the staff was not so hostile and angry in all parts of the base. The lakefront is great view of DC.

It's a decent base. It's a nice, spacious retreat after being in the nation's capital all day. There's not much food-wise, but the Slip Inn Bar and Grille is the place to be during the summer. It's right on the Potomac River, which is nice while walking/running. The housing is another issue, but overall this base is pretty great.

I was stationed here as a member of the Air Force Honor Guard for 8 yrs. I've visited about 30 +/- military installations (mainly AF) and this is concise but superb! Yes it's small, and yes there's traffic outside the main gate. But there's plenty to do outside the gate and the Slip Inn is a good time along with having gatherings at the waterfront in general. Try Malmstrom AFB in Montana, where it's cold/gloomy/snowy +/- 8 mos of the yr and nothing much outside of town. Despicable. So Bolling is a dream compared to many. One of the most historical AF Bases too! Most all the Air Force legends came thru there time and time again. I would live there again in a heartbeat.

The Furnari Dining Hall is the best thing here.

This place is great, your are lucky to be stationed here. To be in one of the most expensive city and have the amenities both on base and off. So stop your wining spoiled brats... appreciate and make the best of want others dream about....You can always go to Iraq....or just get out and try living here in the economy.
