Could you give us a bit of what it was like? I imagine it being somewhat like the Vegas hotels where you can spend an entire vacation without actually having to step outside or a military/cruise ship that has stores/entertainment/exercise facilities built right in.
- piloto_ciego 3y agoFor me (I was still a pilot at the time), the camp I lived in was a bit like a more professional version of a belter colony from the Expanse with the exterior vibe of The Thing (without the aliens). Very industrial? And going outside was akin to going through and airlock and putting a spacesuit on. The bedrooms were spartan but comfy, the internet was tolerably fast but still much slower than at home, and the meals were all communal. Basically (and ironically) it was the closest to living under communism I’ve ever been exposed to in my life. It was kind of stifling from a “personal freedom” standpoint - even in the summer you couldn’t just go walk around on the tundra - but it was very cool to be a part of it all, and the job was fun and challenging. What do you want to know? Accommodations were nice and after my hitch I got lots of time off. 10/10 would recommend.
