14. Send him to Shemya Island.

“Shemya Island is a teeny weeny outpost off the southern coast of Alaska. It’s about two miles wide and four miles long, which is good news if you hate driving. The weather over at Shemya stays at a constant 50 degrees Fahrenheit, so it’s not that bad. However, there is constant fog year-round so good luck trying to soak up some sun. The base was established during the Cold War to watch for any suspicious Soviet satellite launches, and kind of just stuck around. Nowadays, it houses a United States Air Force radar, surveillance and weather station, and aircraft refueling station.”
