That's basically a comment that my husband made about it.

Well, I could be totally facetious and say that I'm from where the Navy sends 
us this time (grin). But seriously, we live in the San Diego area and have 
for almost 15 years of our almost 17 Navy years. Before that....my husband 
and I are both from the midwest, tho we came to California by way of southern 
Arizona. :)
