At one time, both officers and enlisted men in the Coast Guard would be stationed in very isolated parts of the world. These were either Loran Stations or Lighthouses. The bulk of the people stationed at these locations were enlisted people. Loran Stations typically has a single officer stationed there. This was typically a LTJG or an Ensign. The tour of duty was 1 year, at which time they were fundamentally separated from the rest of society at a very remote location. Most of these facilities have been closed down or automated. I am unaware of there being any isolated duty stations left. I served at two during my CG career. Both were in Alaska.
