My son was on the ship..well actually a barge docked next to the Nimitz..he got permission to pay out of pocket in about 5 months to live off the ship. His ship was deployed when he made E5 so it was a given to move into an apartment on his own when he got back 9 months later. His ship was deployed within 7 months of him getting there...so he wasnt in San Diego all that long before making E5(he made it on his first try testing)....they were sitting in the gulf of Oman.
