Where will I end up?

The Navy sends you where they need you, be it shore duty or a carrier. Generally, your first tour will be sea duty then shore duty, but not always. If you really want to have the best chance at a say in it, you need to do well in your A and C schools. The highest GPA usually picks their orders then next highest and so on; if you're in the middle (and definitely in the rear) you probably won't get too much say in orders. One way or another though, you're an ET, you'll be fixing and doing preventative maintenance on electronics like copy machines, somewhere.
