Language school was in Monterey, as I private I lived on old Fort Ord and could see the beach from my house. Coming out of the midwest with a new young wife into the west coast and the military life was a helluva adjustment. I look back on those years fondly, especially after being stationed places like Polk, LA. Jimmy, :cheers:. |

I do remember transferring to San Diego and having to make ends meet on E-5 salary. Not fun. |

Yeah after school I was in San Diego for a couple of months before our ship returned from a tour. Verys expensive living, especially on Coronado island. Living in Utah my whole life it was a wake up call with all the poverty (San Diego) there compared to home. Nice vacation but I would never live there. After that we moved up to Bremerton WA lol big difference!! But we all had our own Barracks, I had my Alienware laptop, Xbox live, High Speed internet and Domino's delivered straight to the door! Our ship was in a 10 month dry dock and our division only worked a couple of hours a day. That's when I learned the amazing world of Emulators. With doing 2 dry docks in 4 years I only got to do one 7 month tour. Dubai, Malaysia, Singapore and Hawaii. Not a huge tour but it was fun. |

Beats the hell out of Aghanistan, Iraq, Aghanistan..... I would love to go back to Monterey for another tour, being an O3 in Cali vs being an E3 in Cali makes a huge difference in QOL I imagine. |

My brother and I served in Desert Storm together. He was in the desert of Saudi Arabia. I was in the air conditioned submarine. |
