My uncle had been to both Iceland and Greenland (plus Antartica) when he was still active duty USN. He enjoyed it. He told me I shouldn't have declined Greenland and Shemya (Aleutian Islands) when I was offered the chance to go to those places a long time ago
Spend one year at Shemya Island? No thanks.

Hmm, i wonder how it would be if you were deployed there, and forgot to bring something. If there isn't a 7-11 there you're scr*wed :D
i hear Austria is nice. When the Amazing Race had a leg there, all the contestants(who were running like hell the whole time) really slowed down and enjoyed the scenery.

Anyone deploying there would know several months in advance. The chances of forgetting something essential is unlikely. When Shemya was still open, there were no mobile gadgets or laptops. Communications with loved ones back home were mostly by regular mail.
It's a shame. If I knew Shemya was going to close in 1995, I would have gone when I was offered the chance. But, many people who were sent (no choice) there had very negative views of their 1-year tours. So, I declined. Now, I wish I didn't. Oh well.
I don't mind visiting for a week. But, spending a whole year there? Very daunting.

The wife wants to spend the weekend in Phoenix, visiting some museums and water parks. I'm like ?????? Since when did the wife start liking museums or the planetarium? I usually come up with the nerdy stuff. The only reason we visited Phoenix in the past was because of its Oriental stores.
So long as the wife and I have our own room and the kids stay in their own, I'm fine with it. We haven't rocked the house in a while.
