When I got out of the Navy back in 81, RR had just fired 5000 air traffic controllers. My job in the Navy was similar, so I took the test. Back then if you passed high enough you could pick where you wanted to work. I choose Alaska, and I passed the test. At the same time I was going through the hiring process of the Norfolk PD. After spending 28 years in a community that hated my guts, I often wonder what it would of been like, had I gone ATC somewhere in AK.
Thanks for everyone's input, its clear that if I ever get the chance to get up there I need to bring money, lots and lots of money....
