Yep. I wonder who you have to piss off, er, uh, I mean what you have to do to earn assignment to a post like that?
When I was in the Coast Guard I had the chance to visit Attu. As places go it wasn’t to bad. The worst part of it is that you were FORBIDDEN to leave the confines of the station or the Runway.
Mind you it was for your own good. The damn place is crazy dangerous with WWII explosives and munitions from both the Japanese occupation and our bombing the place.
I’ve heard but am unable to confirm that some of the EOD people are sent there as a graduation exercise to clean up and acre or so at a time.
And as far as a bad place to go as in having a detailer mad at you? Well I always thought that French Frigate Shoals was by far much worse.
