I pretty much already know the answer to this question but I was hoping on some more input. I live in San Diego right now with my whole family and I havbe a GOP incentive (duty station choice) on my contract. I understand that I have the choice between west/east coasts and overseas. Does the Corps typically bind themselves to this option as stated in the contract or is just on a "maybe" basis. I'll be in the intel field so I'm hoping to be at either Pendleton or Miramar.

Correct, but isn't 29 palms merely a base for Tank Battalions? Are there even any intel specialists there? I would think that they are based at a huge base like Camp Pendleton.

29 Palms is the largest Marine Corps base with much more than tanks. There are intel specialists at 29 Palms.

Isn't 29 Palms also home to 7th Marines?
