Where are great locations to live and advance your career if you love the outdoors, remote/country areas?

My dad was stationed at NAS Sandpoint in Seattle while I was 6-10 year old. Thought it was going to be great when I got myself stationed at Marine Barracks Bangor across the Puget Sound. It was beautiful, but I forgot the rain. As a grunt I spent enough time in the rain on duty, didn't much feel like it off duty.

Honestly if you are willing to commute, believe it or not, I recommend one of the posts near metro DC, just live 30-45 minutes west of the westernmost or southernmost metro station.

Also look at Camp Grayling in Northern Michigan.

As TSgt Steve Waide said, Raytheon Missile Systems is based out of Tucson, so a lot of jobs there.
I also did a quick Google search and Indeed lists a lot of sysadmin jobs:

Disregard the link, it appears to not have saved my search string. But go to Indeed and type in Linux Systems Administrator and Tucson, AZ for location. It lists about 14 positions. But there are also a lot of contract positions that aren't normally listed on Indeed. Do you have a current Secret clearance?

PO1 John Miller - Isn't Tucson also the center of the universe for scientific grade optics. Seems like they would need high-speed, low drag, computer types.

Could be, I would have to look that up. But there are a lot of IT jobs just at the University of Arizona alone so that could very well be true.

Can you hook me up with someone in Amazon to talk with about future positions?

SGT (Join to see) - Absolutely my man, I can talk to my manager. Are you strictly IT or would you want to move to development? I can get someone today to give you a call for Software development
