My most enjoyable deployment was on the USS Independence. We hit 7 ports in 4 months. We saw Guam, Sydney, Perth, Kalang (Kuala Lumpur), Singapore, Hong-Kong and I believe Manila. Awesome deployment but we were broke!

Other than the getting sick part and spending 2 months in the hospital, GTMO 2002. All the luxuries of home to include Class VI, comfortable working hours, 1/2 Saturday and all Sunday off and living in base housing. Wasn't too much to complain about.

I enjoyed my time in Tan-Tan Morocco. It was my first experience at the Cast system as well as what true poverty is. We did great work there. We built a school for their children and built up training areas for their military. Also push started an old deuc and a half.
