What do u do?

Navy is the best for travel but its travel on the Navys time. Like the video says, you get typically 4-6 days at any given port but you still have 4 duty sections. This means every 4 days you will stand duty. So if your section falls on a day while in port, you will stay on the ship and stand duty. Then when you are relieved from duty by the next section, you are off to enjoy the port. With all this in mind, remember, I've been to more countries then I ever would have outside the Navy. Traveling for free is a blessing, dont waste it getting smashed on beers. See the sites, enjoy the culture, and for fucks sake, stay away from McDonald's. Eat local food.

While I was at NS Great Lakes, I met a young HM that was working at the hospital there. He left his home in Mississippi, went to Great Lakes for boot camp, went across the street for his HM A School (before it moved to Texas), got his first & only duty station at a hospital in Great Lakes, then he left the Navy and I assume that he went back home to Mississippi. He told me that he joined the Navy to see the world, but this poor young man didn't even get to go across the Mississippi River. LOL.

I was a AMH (69-89). My sea-shore Rotation was just about a equal 36 months sea/ 36 months shore. This worked great for my reinlistments and EAOS. I reenlisted for each time and rotated to duty station I wanted to go to, fortunately for me everytime.

When I was in the SeaBees (SW2) back in the '80's and early '90's my naval career road map was just as you said, first Rota Spain, then Okinawa, after that Bermuda, the Bahamas, and Saudi Arabia. My home port was Southern California, oh yeah, and I never set foot on a ship.

He chose the Navy over the USAF for the travel aspects, but his rating has an undefined sea-shore rotation. His experience will be different from mine, but the experience will serve him well.

Hey do you have a opinion on divers it's something I've been wondering about

I was a Machinist's Mate. You get to see how the world looks by looking through the white bulkheads of the Engineroom 18-20 hours a day. You only get every other day off in many ports because you are Aux Steaming. I must admit, though, that if my son didn't have diabetes and I needed to be stationed near a Naval Medical facility, my last duty station would have been beautiful and scenic El Centro, California.

In the RCN the best job, I think, is Naval Combat Information.... you USN types call it OS. Lots of sea duty and very chill when not at sea. We are also very much in the know about what's happening and what's coming up.

NAS Sigonella was magnificent, my favorite duty station.

The key is to really tell your parents they will not see you for two to three years if you go overseas. Yes you will miss them but there is something called video calling. Plus when you’re overseas sometimes a ticket to go state side is mostly over 2000 depending on where you are, literally use that same money and see 5 different countries for the same price. If your plan was to always return home just join the national guard 🤷🏾‍♂️. Also if you really do want to travel but get stuck on a shore duty first yes it might suck but try to get on a ship for your next command to make up don’t just quit after one.

Many rates have increased sea rotation nowadays. When I was in ET started at 4-2-3. That would be 4 years sea duty, 2 shore, then 3 sea duty. That was rough considering sea duty often involves plenty of time deployed. Now ET is 4.5-3.0-3.0. That's a little better. For family life I think that it's better to start a Navy career with shore duty. However, it's better at sea as far as earning awards and promotions. I now work with a former hospital corpsman. He was stationed at Bethesda Naval Hospital in his short time in the Navy. He never deployed anywhere else. Generally he has no idea of what sea life is like. He has never been to General Quarters. Never been on a ship. Never part of a fire fighting party. He has never stood quarterdeck watch, never been on the bridge. Never been on Shore Patrol. All of the fun stuff right?

WHATEVER YOU DO.. DONT CHOOSE UNDES. PLS.

Besides rates that have sea duty a lot, I think the rate that gets to travel the most is probably CT. They are supposed to have 3 years of rotation INCONUS and OCONUS, instead of sea duty/shore duty, so they literally get to live in a different part of the world every 3 years and can still deploy on ships when needed. Now the downside is that they pretty much always have to live in the same place INCONUS because that is based on the language they specialize in, but again, they can still be deployed for temporary duty while stationed INCONUS. So that means travel opportunities no matter whether you are deployed or not.

My info maybe very dated now as I left the spook community some time go: If you are in a CTT DIRSUP (surface/subsurface) role (POS 3 or POS 4) then expect to be deployed often from a shore duty station but with a sea duty UIC. The shore CTT (non-DIRSUP mostly POS 3) is OUTUS/CONUS rotation. Aircrew CTT (I think POS 3 and 4) will mostly be in the aircrew role but can cross deploy to the standard DIRSUP role. YMMV

There is a schedule for flights that you can purchase for maybe 50 bucks at the most. The only caveat is if sailors need your seat for orders, they bump you. Other than that you can fly go Europe for less than 100 bucks. I'm talking Rota, Spain, Sigonella, Italy, Souda Bay, Crete, Greece, Rammstein, Germany, and other countries. Also asian countries too mostly Japan. I wish I knew this when was new to the navy. Just for your FYI!

1. I'm sorry that you are sick and I hope you get better. 2. You have to get paperwork from your doctor to enroll in efmp. Once you do that, get a schedule of all your appointments and surgeries. Your husband then can take that to his command. If the CO deems that he cant be out to sea anymore as a result of having to be with you at all the appointments and surgeries he will do 1 of 2 things: 1. He will send your husband TAD (temporary assigned duty) which means he will still be on sea duty but maybe attached to a shore command so that he can accompany you to all your appointments and surgeries. 2. Remove him from the ship all together and he will have to renegotiate orders with a detailer. What's most important is that you are enrolled in efmp 1st or else this is all moot. It's possible they also seperate him from the navy as well. That's worst case scenario and least likely. They legally cant seperate you while you are being treated for a chronic illness. God be with you.
