Others join to broaden their horizons and see the world. This unit would check that box too.
Personally I'd love to go to the Arctic or Antarctic as a civilian as it would be an interesting challenge.

Friends of friends have done it (with NSF I believe). Research expeditions to the arctic sometimes take civilians as support (janitors, IT, cooks, medics, etc). It can be a cool way to spend a few months aboard a boat in the arctic. https://betterhumans.pub/how-to-join-a-scientific-expedition-and-go-somewhere-extraordinary-b899bed602d5 https://betterhumans.pub/how-to-join-a-scientific-expedition... https://science.nasa.gov/citizen-science/fjord-phyto/ https://science.nasa.gov/citizen-science/fjord-phyto/ https://news.airbnb.com/wanted-five-volunteers-to-join-scientific-research-mission-to-antarctica https://news.airbnb.com/wanted-five-volunteers-to-join-scien...
