From what I've seen form my time at Corry, this is pretty much on spot. For the six years, because of all the money and time the NAVY has put into you expect a sea duty rotation first. That being said it could be any ship with the exception of a sub, I've heard of everything from carriers to frigates to LHA/LHDs. I've also heard that IT life at sea is generally better than shore, but take that for what its worth.

Theris a possibility of anywhere. There are IT's with SEALS, a good friend of my mine is taking the air crew route. One of the ITs in the most recent class got orders to an admirals personal staff. ITs are like roaches, they're under every navy shoeprint the whole world over.
