Any of my fellow Marines get jealous on here?

While I absolutely love being a Marine I sometimes get jealous of all the places (OCONUS) that members of the other services can be stationed. Germany, Italy, Spain, Turkey, England while we get Japan. Granted we do have MSG and MarForEur but those billets are hard to come by for the majority of folks.

I loved my time in the Marine Corps; I got to see Vietnam on 3 different tours, Okinawa on separate tour, and Japan (Iwakuni) on separate tour. All in just 8 years. I jumped services and got to see Mcchord AFB while in USAF. Then finished my 20 years in US Army. Got to see Wash Dc, Germany, Fort Irwin for 2 years, and finally Fort Sill. Enjoyed all time I spent in the military. Met a great bunch of friends some of which I still have today.

Has Subic Bay Naval Base opened to Marines yet? I'm jealous that the Marines and Navy get to enjoy that place. I'm sure the base itself needs some work after so many years of being closed, but that seems like a nice place to be.
