Rota, Spain
 

hey guys just joined the forum Im in the navy as a Seabee stationed in rota spain.

You lucky, lucky dawg....

Retired CPO myself. Two tours in Rota. First one, 19, single and absolutely LOVED IT! What a place to be, especially back in the 80's. Can't talk or think about that place without a smile which, pisses off the current Mrs. Oh well, it was my youth and I enjoyed every minute of it. LOL.

If you are single be sure to get out and enjoy the local "fare". Good Stuff. If not, welp I got nothing. But either way, do get out and enjoy Spain beautiful place, awesome people, great food. Also in a good launching spot to see the rest of Europe so be sure to exploit that to the maximum.

Good Luck and thank you for your service.

Hey I was in Rota a few months ago. Just a layover though, on my all expenses paid vacation to Liberia. Courtesy of the US Army 😒

I was stationed there from 2010-2013 at PWD....

I was there in 92 for about 4 days. First stop on Med. cruise. I was 19. Loved it. There was some kind of "gypsy area" outside the gate that I remember we had to sprint through. Sangria makes you sloooow! I'm stuck in S.E. MI. Jealous.

Great Grandfather was one of the founders of that base. :D
