answer:If you wind up on a ship, it will likely (though not definitely) be a larger ship like an aircraft carrier. “Small boys” generally didn’t have much need for the services of a PH, LI, DM, or JO (the four rates that were combined into MC in 2006) when I was in. There are few places that house actual CVNs, but any other ship big enough to be a flagship for it’s group may be on the list as well. Of course, the sea/shore rotation on MC is land-heavy enough that you may be sent practically anywhere for shore duty since every base/installation needs them. Basically, if it’s a command that flies an Admiral’s flag, then you might go there.
