Your first tour will probably be sea duty, but that's not set in stone. A tour is typically 36 months, so you won't spend a full four years there most likely.

"A" School does not count as duty, you're still being trained.

ET first tour is 4 years and FC is 5 years of sea duty. And A and C school doesn't count. Your sea duty starts the first day you report to your command.

It starts the first day you report to your ship which is after training.

Your training is counted toward your 6 years active-duty, but not your 4 years sea duty... so you won't have to do extra time active-duty, but you won't get shore duty until near the ed of your enlistment. Technically, you enlisted for 8 years... everyone does. But only 6 of those are active duty, and the remaining 2 are Inactive Ready Reserve.

I don't think that is correct. Your enlistment begins the day you swear in and ship to RTC as per your contract.

I totally misread that thought it said sea duty.
