there is no frost/freeze plug in the hemi. the hole is vacant.

as for the "Why not Minot..." the next person that says that to my face is gettin their face beat in. I'm so sick of that stupid phrase. The fact is, the majority of the people that are stationed here say its one of, if not their most favorite assignment, and a lot of people come back to retire here. (that wasnt a rant at you rojhan, merely a rant at the phrase)

I'm mildly surprised the phrase is still around. I first heard it around '84, and I'm sure it existed before then. Something like at least 30 years of staying power for a phrase is interesting. Digging into the deep, dark, recesses of memory it was isolation and/or weather that made it undesirable.

Enjoy it while it lasts, because before long it'll be -40 out. I was stationed at Minot from 97-02. It was my best assignment. There are times I wish I was back there as opposed to being stuck here at McGuire.
