so... i'm thinking 1st tour on a 210' cutter (hopefully CGC VIGILANT) out of Port Canaveral (or Tampa if i can't get either of the two in Canaveral) doing counter drug and migrant ops and then maybe short tour there so that I can screen for XO or OPS on a 110' in Bahrain (Persian Gulf) and stay there for a year.
a 210':

come march, i will be apartment hunting. i'll need help.
