Hey there, I just have a question about naval deployments.
As an NWO, how many deployments do you get a year? My dad was a stoker and joined in 2003, so he was not home very often. Is it still like that? Will I be home less than half a year, generally? As you climb in rank, do you get less or more deployments? One of my friends is a MarTech and he only got deployed for 2 weeks in three years, but I think he is an anomaly...
Are deployments hard? Not talking about workups but I mean generally day-to-day...
I'm just a tiny bit worried that I'll be gone for eight months, and then come home for a month, and then go for another eight months. If that were to happen one time, I guess it would be okay, but I think if it were to happen repeatedly my finacé would be a little peeved.
(to be honest, I don't even know what an NWO does apart from being officer of the watch and commanding the ship when there's a problem)
