AK,
That is the rugged survivalist characteristic you can only find in groups like the Alaskan Armada. You would never find that type of planning in an urban based group. I may consider putting in a transfer to your branch of the Flotilla.
I would need to make a request you do something about the cold! My bones are getting a little older and I would require copious amounts of 'antifreeze' just to function.
But when CFGIA hits it's stride, can we winter in Maui? That would be the ultimate combination, and a great recruiting tool. Summer is Alaska, winter in Hawaii! (with a small side trip to Costa Rica, maybe?)
I would have no trouble selling that relocation package to Mrs. Pockets!
Ok, I'm talking myself into a move, so let's get this plan in action. CGFIA, can we get the PPS moving north please?
Good Fortune and Fair Weather to the Flotilla!
Don't take my word for it, Do your own research! Then you will know it's true!
