I'm a civilian but I'm an electronics engineer for the Navy. I go on TDY to Norfolk, San Diego, Mayport FL, Everett WA (Seattle), Pearl Harbor HI,
Yokosuka Japan, Sasebo JP, Nagasaki JP, Seoul South Korea.
I'm on TDY over 60% of the year. So far the sequestration hasn't slowed down any of my travel.
One of the main perks of being on so much travel is that I earn a ton of frequent flyer miles and hotel reward points. I've taken a few free trips to Europe(London, Paris, Barcelona, Rome, Venice, Florence, Amsterdam, Brussels)
At the end of my TDY trips, I get to take leave and chill in whatever city I'm in or travel to other nearby cities. I've done that for free trips to my hometown, chill in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Seoul, Fukuoka, and some other cities.
Hawaii is my favorite my TDY destination...shyt does not feel like work. After work everyday, I walk outside my Waikiki beachfront hotel, go snorkeling for a little bit, bar hop along the strip, and do it all over again the next day.
The end of this year I'm going on TDY to Australia.
