When I was in the AF 1981 - 1987 we made jokes about two bases, Iceland and Minot.

Why Not Minot?

When leaving Japan I had to attend a briefing about Minot. Then, with the usual wisdom of the military, I was sent to Key West.

I separated from the Air Force the year you joined. When I was in, Minot was the place they threatened to send you if you were a screw-up. As a Security Policeman, if you worked the missile side, you got to stay in a warm truck. If you worked flightline, you were humping Buffs in the snow.

Why not Minot? Freezin’s the reason.
