Col. Saito (Bridge Over the River Kwai) would love them. He said, "Be happy in your work" even though they were in a jungle prison camp. The Colonel was definitely AS management material.

... not the example I would have gone with, but hilarious! Take the case of the McChord reservist or Elmendorf or Oregon guard F-15 pilot etc, or the military retiree that lives in or wants to move back to the NW. This job is a dream for them, 2 paychecks, home most nights, and they get to stay mostly in the same time zone when they fly. I would never fault anyone for going to Alaska. Heck, there are people trying to leave certain majors to go there, so they must be doing something right.
