sea tour?
When you go on sea tour are they just on the ship? Or would it be every move over seas as a family?

Anytime you are in sea duty, you can be sent on deployment. On a shore duty you will be staying behind.
|
However, sea duty does not mean you will be at sea the entire 3-5 years.
|
Shore doesn't necessarily mean you'll be on shore the entire time either, especially for jobs like HM.

During that time, he will probably deploy at least once (every other year is "typical"). Some spouses stay at their duty station during deployment. Some will go back home and live with their family. It's really up to you. |

One more item to confuse you even more.. Depending on his rate, he could also go to an OCONUS location (like GTMO), and be considered on a "sea" tour.... But he's not attached to a ship, and doesn't deploy.. However, most places like that, it's much harder for the service member to get their family to those locations. There are a lot of restrictions...

lol yeah I understand what you are saying. Think it would be pretty hard on a marriage if a spouse didn't go. As long as I'm allowed I think I would. |

Ok.. To put it plainly: certain overseas locations are considered sea duty even though they are not attached to a ship. I currently live in Guantanamo Bay (GTMO), Cuba. We are there for Tim's shore duty, but several of our friends are there on sea duty.

ET is fair game across the board.. FC is a different story. So it'll depend on which he gets, and then his NEC within each of those rates.
