I'm jealous. I tried to get assigned to Deep Freeze back in the late 80's. I was an undesignated deck seaman at the time so I figured the worst they could say was no when I submitted my chit.

The Chief Boatswain's Mate questioned my sanity and parentage in rather colorful terms and tore my chit up right there.

Unless I can find a way to convince the Oregon Army National Guard to send me, my chances don't look very good.

I wonder if there is any need for an artillery officer in Antarctica.
