1) i grew up in alaska
2) i grew up fishing in alaska - i am very well aware of territorial issues, border issues with russia, poaching as well as which fisheries are state regulated and which are federally regulated under the Magnuson Act
3) i spend many years fishing in Russia and have been a party to breaking every regulatory law they have in that respect.
4) A state governor has zero to do with military and national security issues
5) the national guard is not the military and has nothing to do with national security except under the command of the federal government.
negotiating field trips to Magadan or successfully having some frozen turd on the alaskan map become the sister city to Korf or some horrible ex-stalinist gulag prison camp (one of many where i've also been) hardly equates to foreign policy experience.
