2 When I graduated from Navy "A" school in Memphis TN. I requested any place on the west coast. My assignment was a carrier squadron at NAS Cecil Field in Jacksonville FL. I was off and on different carriers till I received orders to NAS Lemoore CA. Lemoore was so new that no one on the ship knew where I was going.

I counted six from boot camp at Bainbridge, Maryland, assignment to a destroyer escort, Hospital Corps School at Great Lakes, Naval Hospital Beaufort South Carolina, Field Medical Service School Camp Lejeune and Second Service Battalion Camp Lejeune. Had about six on my second hitch too. That's because I was part of a special group called SBDTT (Sea Bag Durability Testing Team) LOL!

my husband has been in since July 14, 2005 and he was in Basic in Missouri and ever since hes been in germany and we are here till 2013. the military tries not to move them around to much because of how expensive it is. they would have to increase tax payers even more if they did
