Country:  | Yeah see that sucks. If I could stay in one location so that I could build my house and my family would not have to move around I would join the Coast Guard and try to go to Alaska for the 60s up there. Hell I allready have all the training and experience to work on them.
It is pretty much the same in the Army though. Married have to move every 3 to 4 years and the single guys move every 2 years. I managed to pull it off and stay at my same unit and location in Ansbach, Germany for 6 years but the fact that my unit got sent to Kosovo and Iraq helped that fact.
Infact I had orders to go to Alaska to a Blackhawk unit in Fairbanks but at the last second they took my orders and cancelled them so that I could go to Iraq.

As for the colors, the HH-65's also had more of a white paint job years back. Those were also the birds that would do polar ops on the back of our ice breakers as for our 60's, that dont deploy out on any of our ships. So if there was some type of mishap and the helo had to ditch out on the ice it would have been easier to find.
| how would being white make them easier to see on the ice?
