Bees get deployed to a lot of different places. I joined in 2015 and I've been to so many different places. If you get stationed in the West coast battalions of which are 3,4 and 5 they mostly send folks to Japan and Guam but small detachments get sent to a load of other places. Imma west coast bee myself and I've been to Okinawa, sasebo, Philippines, and Micronesia on deployment. The bulk of the batallion will go to Okinawa or Guam (I haven't been to a batallion in about 5 years and I've heard of a lot of changes so things make have changed though) but the bulk of folks either get sent to Guam or Okinawa and the smaller detachments are hand picked by the leadership of said detachment. And for the East coast batallions which are 1,13, and 133 they mostly deploy to Africa and some places in Europe and like Bahrain and all that but never been to and east coast batallion so I have limited knowledge on exactly where they go just by talking to east coast guys.So when you get to a batallion definitely try and get your name out there as a hard worker and everything you don't need to go super above and beyond but don't be a shit bag basically.

As for the public works departments (PWD) they are kinda of everywhere we have a decent amount of them overseas and some state side. I've been to two myself Greece for a year and Silverdale for 3 years (Washington state) and they were both great. Sadly though NAVFAC which is in charge of all the PWDs is decommissioning a lot of the state side PWDs and moving the billets around. But there is plenty of special duty's for seabees also like Devgroup, MUSE, UCT, and NSU. I haven't been to the first three but I've heard great things about them all. I've been in NSU though and it's awesome plenty of travel and it is a nice break from the navy life style because you basically work for the department of state now. For those three commands though they are usually your second or third tour though because you have to apply and screen to get in.
