H1PH0PEL3M3NT5, I am the opposite of you. You want San Diego, I used to live there but I live in TN now, and I want Norfolk. That is where you live....interesting. lol.

Haha. I miss the west coast. I also have family there. I mean, VA will always be home, but I just need to get away. Coming over here, you'll be surrounded by military people. Not that it's a bad thing. VA is very military-populated. Norfolk Naval Base, Oceana, Little Creek, Langley, etc. I'm sure you'll feel right at home. Lol.

IT's go literally everywhere that there are military members. For us 6 years, our first orders WILL be sea duty, with very rare exception. 4 year contracts have a little bit more flexibility. The Navy is actually in serious need of IT's on ships, so much so that we run Corry Station.

From what I've seen form my time at Corry, this is pretty much on spot. For the six years, because of all the money and time the NAVY has put into you expect a sea duty rotation first. That being said it could be any ship with the exception of a sub, I've heard of everything from carriers to frigates to LHA/LHDs. I've also heard that IT life at sea is generally better than shore, but take that for what its worth.

Theris a possibility of anywhere. There are IT's with SEALS, a good friend of my mine is taking the air crew route. One of the ITs in the most recent class got orders to an admirals personal staff. ITs are like roaches, they're under every navy shoeprint the whole world over.

I am currently on the base where IT's train. You go everywhere. There is no SET LIST of duty stations. You could be on a ship...you could be on shore command in some office...you could be attached to some admiral's office...you could go anywhere.
