My First Duty Station. I arrived New Years Day 1982. I would say the best duty station in my whole enlistment. Great location.
Best duty station in my career. XO of SUBASE Bangor from 2003 - 2004 and then NAVBASE Kitsap from 2004 - 2006 following consolidation of SUBASE Bangor and NAVSTA Bremerton. Great Navy Family in PACNORWEST!

Awesome duty station. Assigned as the Administrative Officer at SUBASE Bangor from February 1983 to February 1986. I have nothing but the fondest of memories. Super people, beautiful base!!
