Answer
Dear Andrew --

As an Army officer I have limited information on the Navy's assignment process.  You should work with your recruiter if you are enlisting, or your placement officer, if you are in ROTC.  Ensure that your enlistment papers specify location as a requirement in your enlistment, if that is essential to your desire to enter the Navy.  If the papers do not specify location, the Navy can send you wherever they need you.  If you are ROTC, you have no recourse and must compete will all graduates for assignments at your desired base.

Best of luck to you.
