Tough call here. It was one of three trips:
1. Week in Hawaii trying to help get someone into a Ph.D. program, combined with marketing visits to local health organizations.
2. Week in Germany speaking at, and attending, a conference in Garmisch.
3. Week in Japan doing an exchange with the Japanese military.

My best TDY was NBC officer's training at Vilseck, Germany in 1982 where I had fun driving back to Graf at night with lights out in my Dodge Omni which slid through the waves as M-88s Tank Recovery vehicles and M60A3 Tanks passed in the opposite direction in the soupy mud of the main tank trail.
Second best was CAS3 at Fort Leavenworth in the fall of 1986.

While assigned to a MI battalion at Fort Meade, MD, I flew out every Monday morning to visit a field office, then on Wednesday I flew to another. I would fly back to Meade on Friday in order to rest before doing it all again the following week! I loved it!

Building & launching rockets from C-17s in Kauai was a pretty great TDY.

I did a lot of TDY my last few months of active duty. Often the assignment sucked but I got to do lots of traveling and see lots of interesting places. Often my orders gave me a week or two to complete a one or two day job and I spent the rest of the time being a tourist.

When I was a PFC as a 92A for D Co., 1-52nd Aviation we were given 48 days of TDY to assist an Aviation BN from Schofield Barracks, HI who was currently deployed in Iraq. We worked short shifts and enjoyed our weekends in Hawaii. It was amazing! Not to mention the $100 per day per diem. I was receiving my monthly paycheck and made $4,800 as a single PFC, let's just say it was nice way to purchase my vehicle and pay for my insurance. ;)

This one is easy. While assigned to JTF-6, now JTF-North, I was sent not once but twice to the US Virgin Island to conduct intelligence assessments.

The most personally and professionally reward TDY for me was 9 weeks at the Navy Diving and Salvage Training Center in Panama City , FL, for the Diving Medical Officer course. Beyond that, I love to travel so there have been innumerable TDY assignments over the years that have provided mini vacation opportunities with some interspersed work including Rio de Janeiro, Key West, Puerto Rico, Korea, Egypt and Kaiserlautern.
