I went to boot in San Diego. "A" school in Tennessee. first duty station was Beaufort, SC. Went to Jet Engine school in Jacksonville, FL. Was deployed to Japan. Came back to Beaufort. Went to Japan again. Had orders to hit the Gulf during the Kuwati dust-up, but never made it "in theater". Finished out my tour in El Toro, CA.
How someone can go into the military and not "go anywhere" should be considered a minor miracle. Knock on some wood... ;-)

Der Prinz went to Biloxi, MS, for 12 weeks. Other than that, he spent the whole ten years posted at Lackland AFB.

I was in 2 years before I ever got to see the water (strange for a Navy squid)--all of it schooling--Florida, Idaho, and Connecticut...and even then it was almost another year before we got back to our home port in Hawaii. Of course it was our job to move around...

It worked out well for my education. I had 90+ hours toward a degree at my DOS. I don't miss the only 2 hours a day of sleep required to do that.

I was in Boot camp in Great Mistakes, then A school in California, and C school in Texas. Then off to P-cola for more training. Then finally, after two years of training, I made it to my first duty station in Georgia. Was stationed in Georgia until my EAOS.
