Raideron... If you don't like the weather in Iceland, just wait a few minutes, it will change :-)
You must have had some bad luck being stationed here during the "indoor period".
It's never cold in Iceland. If the outside air is too cold or wet we just go indoors and if we need more warmth we go to the nearest swimming pool. There's one within every few miles and they are warm and nice all year round thanks to geothermal energy.

They've always rotated the flight crews (fighter squadrons ?) every few months. That's really a pitty 'cause Iceland is really a nice place when you get outside the barren Keflavik area.
Most of the ground personel at the base stay for a year or two (?) and a very high percentage opt for an extra year. The Keflavik base is said to be one of the best and most popular posts outside the US homeland.
The big USSR Bear Bombers that regularly made an appearance over Iceland are no more. The base here is becoming obsolete after the fall of the USSR and the F18's are here only for the appearances nowadays.
