Don't knock it til you've tried it!
I did 14 months up there in 88/89. Loved it. In mid summer you could go to Happy Hour, drink til midnight, get MT to take you down to the local Voe (lake!), set up the BBQ in the sunshine, cool the wine in the water and fish for Trout all night. Delicious. About 0730, MT would pick us up again and take us back to the Mess for breakfast. Kip all day.
Brought the brand new Mrs Wyler up there mid tour and...er...did not go out much after that. Mid winter, dark all day, not worth getting out of bed.
