Now Accepting Applications!

Hey everyone, if you have been enjoying my blog posts from Johnston Atoll, then apply to come here to experience it yourself.  That is the only way to get to this island.  It is not open to the public.  If you have any inkling of a desire to apply, then do it!  Deadline is coming up fast so get working on it.  If you don’t apply, they can’t say yes.

The requirements are not outrageous.  I mean I have a degree in aviation and I made it!  If you qualify, you could get yourself six months on a beautiful remote island in the middle of the Pacific Island.  Plus a month in Hawaii!!!  Have you ever been?  You could, if you make your resume pretty and apply!  Life is full of regrets.  Don’t let not applying be one of them.

Job on Johnston Atoll

Anyone want to come and experience Johnston Atoll for themselves? They have posted the position for Team Leader for CAST IX. Team Leader is Katrina’s current position. Johnston Atoll is closed to the Public; you can only come and experience the island if you are part of a CAST team like me. The Team Leader position requires quite a few qualifications. But check it out, you never know. Spread the word.

Here is the link, take a look:

You get to live in Hawaii for three months to be our team’s (CAST VIII) contact in Hawaii and then get to come to the island in December to replace us until June. If you don’t qualify for this position, stay tuned. I will let you know when they post for the volunteer position. That is what I am, a volunteer. They can’t say yes unless
you apply!

Out of Range

We start our day bright and early tomorrow.  Have to be at the Kahana to start loading at 8am.  It should take around 3 hours to complete.  Then we clean the bunkhouse, the house we have been calling home for almost 4 weeks.  I have to start eating the food I have here…I better get started soon.  We will be doing final move in to the boat at around 4pm.  That includes our personal tote for our cabins that hold things like our snorkeling gear, boat clothes, a couple of sets of quarantine clothes for when we get to the island, and in my case, snacks (thanks mom for sending even more!).  Then we are going to be eating at Gordon Biersch, a Fish and Wildlife personal hot spot and do dinner.  Then off to the theater to see the Bach B Minor being performed by Honolulu Symphony Orchestra.  After the performance, we head to our new temporary home and board the Kahana one last time before heading out.  We leave Saturday morning at around 7am and start our three day journey to Johnston Atoll.  It is located 717 miles west southwest of Hawaii, Hawaii being the closest land to our soon to be home.  

It is in the middle of no where.  There is dial-up speed internet on the island so I will be able to blog from there.  However, the boat does not have internet and my stuff will be loaded up by 4pm tomorrow, Friday.  This may be my last post until Monday.  Wish me luck, I hope I don’t get sea sick, and look for my life confirming blog hopefully on Monday!
