Oh yeah, downtown san diego and gas lamps district = get drunk fun.

Ahhh the Benfold! I was on that ship for 2 years before my West Pac and Sea Swap. Great ship! We flew out to the gulf and left the Benfold behind. Picked up the USS Higgins sailed around for about 3 months and flew back in to take over the John Paul Jones. Pain in the azz trying to learn a new ship with all of its problems. You will love a destroyer!
I am 6"3 and the head room was not bad at all. The ship rocks side to side only and not bad at all. You have any questions let me know. I only did 4 years as an Engineman (EN3). Oh and do me a favor and check the engine room ceilings for my p0rn!

Proud of you bro nameth! Broseph Gerbels! Bro Montana!
As others have said, the Gas-lamp is a drunken fun place to be. You'll soon understand why I want to move to SD. When is the vacation time so I can come down to VA?

I saw the seals a few years back then they started to disappear. When I was there apparently there was a seal that was in a Navy training program but had escaped. Whenever a navy pontoon (sp?) boat would drive by this one seal would get up, dive in the water, and hide until it had passed. Thought it was pretty damn funny.
Sooooo Mom just emailed me at work all freaked out that the ships orders are for the Middle-east. I told her to chill out so you might want to give her a call lol.

You mean you finish school when the ship is going out on deplyment? Then they will prob fly you out to a port like Baharain (sp?) or something like that. I have been deplolyed twice and here is where I have been between 2002-2006.
4 places in Japan 3 places in Australia Hong Kong Singapore Guam Seychelles Island (sp?) South Korea Baharain (sp?) Jeba ali (no clue how to spell it but in the United Emigrates) Kuwaitt Oh and during our Sea Swap I was in the Cypress airport and Ireland airport Short trips about a week or two not on deployment to: Hawaii like 5 times Mazatlan, Mexico San Francisco and more I cannot remember. Pacific fleet is the way to go! Good luck man and keep in touch! I would like to talk to you at a meet one day if possible to get you really pumped!
