Reverse uno. You should have said somewhere cold and freezing. Might of got a holiday in Italy
I always figured no one ever looked at that dream sheet after you filled it out. It's almost an incentive, I'd think, for them to send you somewhere you don't want to go because it would give them leverage for retention, but I doubt they put that much thought into it.
LOL Fayettenam.Same thing happened to me. When I was a captain I had to rank order about 45 duty stations. I put 101st for my top 5, 10th mountain, 25th ID, 4ID then did the smaller units no one heard about or places that have cool outdoors stuff.
I put Fort Bragg, NC dead last. There were 5 openings, and I put all 5 at the bottom. I even told my branch manager that I didn’t care where I went as long as it wasn’t to the 82nd.
I got orders two weeks later to 1st BDE, 82nd.
Hard to beat Olongapo: close your eyes and imagine 300 incoming LBFM's
I was stationed at NAS Cubi Point Subic Bay, PI 1983-85 and have more than 500 missions over **** River.Fixed it. When I reenlisted I was stationed in Mayport FL. I told them I wouldn'dt re-up unless I got west coast orders. I wanted to do a West Pac cruise and see Asia. I got orders to Hawaii and $8k bonus. Got to spend quite a bit of time in Olongapo. Craziest New Years ever spent there.
they made a movie about that - Eurotrip.I was on my way to Iraq and we landed in Prague because plane issues. I got drunk drank absinthe and got laid by a girl in a bachelorette party. Was a nice happenstance. LOL.
