What position are you taking? If it's the ATIS techs job, you'll do some outdoor work going to check the retrans site. If it's GD, then you'll be put to good work cleaning and whatever the SWO wishes. Some of the techs that were there with me NEVER left the habitat from the day they got there to the day they left, poor losers , I worked outside everyday and loved it. Cold! You'll get used to it. Dark! holy doodle, that will firig with your mind if you're not watching.
Tv, Movies, internet, the bar, wood hobby club, sewing...if you can think of a hobby, you can do it there...try to stay away from the constant drinking, it's said that Alert can make you an alcoholic if you're not careful. Keep busy, they have a great storm gym there and all kinds of things to do.
Oh, and don't play with the company ink well !!!
Cheers, BYTD
