It's where your homeport is.
And for that it really depends on what the needs of the navy are. Unless you have dependents, in which case it's very unlikely you'll be stationed over seas for your first duty station.

On the jobs sheet that my recruiter gave me it said that about half of CTRs go on to a C School after A School. Does anybody know how it would determined by the Navy, as to whether or not I would have a C School after my A School. Additionally, due to the fact that males can get on subs, I'm very interested in being able to serve on a sub. Is there a specific career track within the CTR rate that I would need to get into in order to get on a sub?
