Besides Norfolk/VA Beach and San Diego, where else can you be sent for your "base" during GMO as a flight surgeon (post-Pensacola training)? Important question for spouses trying to match for residency near the flight-surgeon to-be...
Thanks!! 😀
Just about any location where there is a Naval or Marine Corps activity where there is an aviation component, you will find at least one flight surgeon billet. So that includes:
Hampton Roads (Norfolk NAS, Oceana NAS, Little Creek), VA,
San Diego, CA,
Jacksonville, FL,
Camp LeJeune, NC,
Patuxent River, MD,
Andrews AFB (det from NNMC Bethesda in Camp Springs, MD),
Brunswick, ME,
Meriden, MS,
Pensacola, FL,
Corpus Christi, TX (Kingsville, TX),
Fallon, NV,
Barber's Point, HI,
Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Kanehoe, HI
Barstow/Twenty-nine Palms, CA,
Yuma, AZ,
Whidbey Island (Sea-Tac), WA,
Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico (future doubtful)
Overseas, there have been various locations, not always staffed:
Sigonella, Sicily, Italy,
Rota, Spain,
Keflavik, Iceland (sometimes by det.),
Lajes, Azores (Portugal, usually by det.)
Naples, Italy,
Souda Bay, Crete, Greece,
Manama, Bahrain (clinic)
Okinawa, Japan (USMC--future doubtful)
Yokosuka, Japan
Agana, Guam
And there are oddball locations, usually not staffed by junior officers, like London, UK, BUMED, DC, HQ Patrol Wing 5 (Brunswick-Topsham Annex, ME), CINCLANTFLT, Norfolk, VA
