Where were you or your family stationed?

I was born at Fort Pepperrill in 1956; I served aboard the USS FORRESTAL CV59 from June 1976 thru Nov 1979 as a PN2 . I tried getting orders to Argentia Naval Sation in Oct/Nov 1979 as I had family in the St. John's area, but sadly my detailer only wanted me to stay at Naval Station Mayport. I've been back to the "rock" several times since 1980, I sure miss the scenery, wildlilfe, food & drink and the people.
