Graduation...as far as flight events it would've been PAs and Tail Chase (which I think went away).
The Navy still goes up to Alaska and Canada for exercises so we do get to see some cold, just not Greenland-style cold. I flew out of Misawa, Japan in the winter and it got pretty cold and snowy up there, not a lot of fun 'fighting' F-16's in a dry suit but at least I get to say I did it.
The Navy used to do the support for the Antarctic mission, run by the National Science Foundation, using LC-130's (with skis) and UH-1's but we gave it up in '97 and the NYANG does it now. We had a few refugees from that squadron in mine and they had some pretty good stories.
Waving jets in the Gulf of Alaska while supporting some AF exercise. Three layers, then had to go find the biggest guy on the ship and use his float coat. Gloves were so thick that I couldn't get finger through the ring on the pickle...so to speak...

MPRA goes to chilly places like Norway and Iceland as well.
Neither of them isn't 'freeze your oil' cold like Thule is in the winter though. I know in the past P-3's have flown out of Thule, not sure if they have recently though.
Any source of heat on the platform?

I've heard they're considering re-opening NAS Keflavik:

occasional jet exhaust.
Using the airport and 'reopening' the NAS are two different things, while they might reply there I doubt they staff a full NAS again.

Watching an Officer and a Gentleman...was there ever a real or something similar to a "Puget Sound Deb?" Just curious

There are plenty of flight school wives out there, and there are plenty of SNAGs looking for their SNA to take them away.

Out of curiosity, what are the guys like? Same as the females?
