I'm working in Antarctica right now, and some of the things you said reflect some similarities to working here. For some people, it's a lifestyle. Most of those people are single, divorced, never married, etc. For others, it's one or two "tours" (also called deployments) then back to "real life" in a more normal 9-5 type job. Tradeoffs either way, people just have to choose what's best for them.
