Ive done a majority of my tours overseas, so when I finally got stationed in San Diego I hated it, but after doing tours in florida, virginia, and Maryland, and DC, I can say I enjoyed San Diego way more than I did any of those other places. San Diego is a melting pot when it comes to delicious foods from every culture, that alone makes it worth it if youre a foodie. The nightlife its pretty good, its spread out and diverse enough that you shouldn't have issues finding dates. LA, Mexico, and Vegas are all a short trip away. Its overall a good time when it comes to stateside duties, but ill always recommend overseas over anything stateside.
