I've spend 2 full years working as an engineer at the South Pole, and if I get my results and Pass, I may just try to get to the only place more remote than my previous job. Sounds fun.

What were you doing down south?!
I was facilities engineer for amundsen scott south pole station, basically HVAC/Mechanical/Controls stuff, also power plant and water plant was sort of under my reign. First year there I was sort of an operator/mechanic/engineer so that wasn't too much of a stretch. Second year I was the station engineer (facilities engineer). I did a few shorter contracts that were just the summer, starting a new job (hopefully) in the next few weeks as a controls engineer for the antarctic program. 

 
They used to let monkeys into space. I figure some of us must has a chance.
