A family member that was in the USAF talks about this base* and pronounces it /'tuli/ (like "duly" in "duly noted".)
*Also that getting posted there was idiomatic for pissing off the wrong person. As in, "Don't piss them off or you'll end up in Thule Greenland". It wasn't considered a desirable posting, at least not by many. Enough so that it provided what these days is called "assignment incentive pay".
