I would say McMurdo Station in Antarctica is one rare duty station. Not too many people have been there or maybe even want to be assigned in such a cold place.

Ice station Zebra is the other name. When I first got into SOF in 1979. You were told you'd be assigned there if you screw, OPSEC. I always thought it was a joke!

Back in the day, they had the Tunnel Neutralization Team (TNT) in Korea. A unit of engineers dedicated to finding the North Korean tunnels into the ROK. Being a nerdy engineer, I would have loved that assignment.

I had spent two years as a civilian contractor working on Kwajalein Atoll. There are only a handful of Soldiers who work there; the rest are civilians (DA and contractors). It's located in the Marshall Islands, approximately 2100 miles SW from Hawaii. It's a great place for SCUBA diving, sailing and fishing.
