I don't recall anyone facing the assignment to missiles as being
particularly grateful nor viewing it as "fine duty." They did get
pretty polyester ascots, vinyl caps and a chance to get a Master's
degree during their days in the hole. And, other than cholesterol
build-up from chow hall food, the hazards during the Vietnam war were
minimal in the silo. Casualties were low and few POW's were taken.

Missileers were subject to some very rigorous pshychological
screening AIUI. I would imagine not wanting that particular
assignment would raise some red flags for the screeners as
would a surfeit of enthusiasm for the job.
