K Bay is in such a beautiful area....my son stationed there for a few years.  He never mentioned the food issue but he survived. All the sailors I know...stationed in Hawaii or going to sea will pick shore duty by a total landslide.

Does anyone know if families can shop at the Navy Exchange while at Great Lakes for graduation?

After "A" school, most Aircrew Survival Equipmentmen are assigned to squadrons, aircraft carriers or other Navy ships carrying aircraft, or Naval Air Stations. There they learn more advanced skills in their rating through on the job  training. PRs going to intermediate level maintenance for their first assignment will attend a four week “A” school strand following basic core “A” school. Advanced technical and operational training is also available in this rating during later stages of career development. During a 20 year period in the Navy, PRs spend about 50 percent of their time assigned to fleet units and 50 percent to shore stations.

The duties performed by PRs include: inspecting, maintaining and repairing survival equipment, flight gear and protective clothing (anti-gravity suits etc.); using, adjusting, maintaining and repairing sewing machines; inspecting and testing oxygen regulators, liquid oxygen converters and safety equipment; repairing, packing and rigging parachutes; equipping and packing life rafts; manufacturing various types of fabric work and webbing assemblies used in survival equipment.

In other words no

It is customary to send the CO a formal invitation to one's retirement ceremony.  Hope this helps: http://www.goatlocker.org/retire/cporetire.htm
