Default where are the best deployments?

From experience, whether you’re still in the service or left a long time ago, where are the best deployments in your opinion? State side or across the pond? Why?

Tampa-stan is a fun one. Especially if you are single. Iraq is not. Especially if your single.

Booze, ladies, and a non-muslim country is usually a good start. Maple Flag, Sentry Eagle, and Sentry Aloha were fun, OIF...not so much, although getting stuck in Sevilla for a week enroute didn't suck.

Tac Fighter Weaponry in Aalborg Denmark was about as good as it will ever get. Booze, good flying (i.e., not the RedFlag 13 hour day), and the hottest/friendliest local talent on earth.

Stateside isn't really a deployment....that's called "TDY". I got a good chuckle once hearing a fighter guy talking about his SQ's "deployment" to Red Flag.

Just a matter of perspective
