Stationed there 1988 - 1996. Spain is a beautiful country, and Rota is a beautiful little city. Best eight years of my life.

I was stationed there with Barracks Marines from 93-95. We were stationed there at the same time. Crazy nights in Rota in the 90's. Friday and Saturday night's at the country club, "The Barn" could get out of hand. Good Times!!!

Rota was exactly what I needed at that point in life where I was going through such a horrible personal time, the people, the city, it helped cure me of some deep resentment I had. It was great being able to get off of work and just take a 10 minute walk down to the beach to read. My only regret is not having taken advantage of the opportunity and travel a lot more than I already had.

Thanks to your son for his services and thanks for the support that you give !

Living overseas is one of the best experiences you can have in life. It brings so much perspective. You get to know the world better. You get to know our country better. I've been lucky to have done two overseas tours with the Navy. There's just nothing better.

Hiya, I'm from Rota Half of the buildings filmed here are actually from Cádiz, not actually in Rota (don't worry, Cádiz it's just 30 minutes away by ferry)

Hi dude! How’s life like rn? Any updates!? Ty for your service man greatly appreciated.

Stationed there from 1999-2002. Best tour in my 20 years of Naval service!!!

You are very welcome, Naval Station Rota makes the place much nicer for jobs, cultural exchange and it is key at our NATO cooperation, me as a spaniard I feel happy to see like this can be a dream destination for many of you and can be a very nice and rich experience, don't forget to enjoy the spanish food and try to visit the rest of the country, it will be a very enjoyable experience.

Was stationed at VQ-2 from 96-03. Life Changing experience! The best I ever have and still talk about it to this day! Hence why I found this video!

Went to rota while serving in navy in 1994. So beautiful !!

Stationed here from 1975 to 1978. I rented an apartment at 29 Capitan Cortez.

Assigned to Navcommsta, Rota Spain from 80-82, I did not want to leave! Beautiful country, beautiful people. besides, Seville, Cadiz, Malaga, Madrid, Jerez, and I'm sure a few others, I was able to visit France as well. As many other US Armed Forces members have already stated, it was the best time of my life!

@@TJ-nq5nt Most were great. It's definitely appreciated if you at least try to speak their language, even though I could not speak it fluently. It was a much simpler time back then, so I'm not sure what things would be like today. But, I really did feel like I had found my second HOME.

Great place to live in. It's close to my hometown and I have lot's of expats friends in there. If you are planning to live in the area, I would highly recommend you to start learning the language to enjoy the culture at its best. I'm a Spanish teacher and I help expats with the language barrier. Let me know if you need any advice, I'm happy to help you out!

In Cádiz Spain born the Major general army of the Potomac and hero of Gettysburg, George Gordon Meade in 1815. It is posible visit your his borne house in Cádiz. Saludos desde España

Rota is where I want to go when I join the navy but ya never know what you’re gonna get

Most of the images are in Cádiz. Not in Rota

Marine general Farragut was bornt in Spain, too in Menorca 's island

can you asked to be stationed overseas or in a particular country

I am rota

Rota orders are only good when you aren't stationed on a ship and slaving away. You're gone 33% of the time in 3 years, having to cram workups, insurv, and various certs in 4 months inport before you deploy again, and even when you're in port alot of medical services aren't available to you because "You got to stay deployable" so you end up dealing with a torn meniscus, or failing eyesight, nerve damage etc. for over a year before it gets serious enough that warrants atleast one surgery.

I was born there.

I wanna join the navy so bad 😩

Too bad they used more shots of Cadiz then they did Rota :(

Born and raised 75 to 94. Problem is I grew up relaxed so it was a crash course when I got stateside.

I love the United State Navy 💜

Por qué EEUU apoya a Marruecos? Acaso España no es su aliado? Tal vez deberíamos ceder Rota a Rusia o China, a lo mejor ellos no nos traicionan
