Atlantic vs. Pacific. Which is a better Navy Fleet to join?

I've only sailed the Pacific, but it depends on if you want to get close to your ancestors land, let that be your deciding factor!

PACFleet. San Diego, Honolulu.... Need I say more?

I was in Pacific fleet was good employment. USS Cayuga... No longer in commission.

I loved serving in Mayport, Fl. Lots of good people and it's a smaller base so you will meet a lot of people.

It has to be WestPac ;)

If you are trying to get to Europe, go east coast. Asia, west. Saves the Detailer money moving you around.

Did both, prefer the West coast, less Political, and I love Asia.

SCPO PRADIA AND PO1 Foster both give sound advice, I would not worry about the side of fleet, I would worry about doing my job, having fun will come but if you don't work hard and do your best then it will not matter, because your LPO or Chief will have you to busy. If you are worried about liberty two or three months at sea will settle that, then a port of call for three days The party's on just be careful.

I had the opportunity to do both. Depending on the class of ship you are on will depend on how much you get to see. If you are on small boy (Destroyer or smaller) you will see a ton. If you are on a big boy (Carrier or LHD) you will not see as much do to size of ship and ability to moor. I agree with Senior Chief... What suits you best is which side you should choose.

Don't worry about which coast you get assigned. Worry about what job you want and which ship sounds the best for your situation. You're going to spend the vast majority of your time dealing with that job and that ship, with no land in sight... and water all looks the same. If you hate your job or your life on the ship, is it really worth it for a better port call or home port? Your call, but I'd put it on the back burner until you know something about specific ships in each port you're given an opportunity to select. E-mail someone on board, or ask around. Try to figure out what the command climate is.
