How often at sea?
Don't worry, I am not trying to evade the sea. I am just curious on how often IT's get sent to the Sea. I saw on the IT area that some just get station stateside or overseas where we are needed. I am just wondering. :D

For us, I'm learning that a LOT of IT's don't see very many ships at all. Think of it this way: the amount of serviceable hardware and software on a ship vs a permanent military installation. So, if you want to look for simple numbers, it's more likely we're going to be not on a ship. However, don't count on that ever.

Well... I don't know a single IT that has shore only... There's a LOT of software/hardware you'll have on ships... yeah. You'll be on a ship, but there's plenty of shore opportunity too.. Just note that you'll be on a ship.
I should add.. on Tim's ship alone, the IT's have an entire department.. I want to say there's like 80 some odd ITs in a command of 600.

I was in for just about 6 years, and I only spent 3 months on a ship. However that will probably not happen to anyone else.
