Hey guys or if not, Jeff....or maybe I should call you Chief.
Anyway, July 20, 2004 will be my 2nd year in the Navy after joining. My first command I've chosen in "A" school was AIMD Oceana Sea Op Det which is a 4 year listed term at that duty station. However, when my 4 ywears is up, I want to re-enlist for another 4 years and switch duty stations preferably west coast to NAS North Island or MCAS Miramar. I want to live in San Diego and get outta southeast Virginia. My command here is awesome and the people I work with are great so I have nothing against them. It's just I want to be closer with some of my relatives that is begging me to come live with them. Yes, they're kids and to them, I am like a great big uncle to them, LOL.
So my question is, is it possible to switch from a east coast to a west coast duty station? How hard is it? I know a female that worked in my shop who transfered with HS-7 i believe in San Diego but they're sea duty. I wouldn't mind being on a sea duty squadron if I stay in my rate.
I have been looking for nice luxury apartments or a condo within 15 minutes from the base. Do you know the current basic allowanace housing in the San Diego area for a single guy?
Thanks for the info.
Probably next year I will schedule an appointment with my career counselor and talk about this issue. Hopefully it will be very simple process as I know there are numerous orders to San Diego.
Regards,
Kevin
