The qualification for this medal is that the soldier "must train or serve ten days stationed on the Antarctic continent". I'd like to know what opportunities are available to do this. Are there any TDYs for this? Can I take leave and attend a school there???

Pretty much just LC-130 crew members assigned to the New York Air National Guard's 109th Airlift Wing, who are responsible for flying everyone and everything on and off Antarctica.

SGT (Join to see) I’d say fly down there, spend two weeks and tell them you were doing research! Just kidding. I’d love to have gone there and while there are cruises there, they are very expensive. It’s a nice and rare medal.
