when deployed... - During Deployment

Trescha · 01-16-2006, 11:10 AM

I was just wondering when my df gets to go out sea how long it might be?? And i was wondering what the the shortest and longest times yalls signifigant other was out to sea? And how many deployments have they been on?

I think it all depends, My DF's deployment is suppose to be in April for about 6 months. BUT they will be doing workups starting soon and that makes it feel a lot longer because they are gone for weeks at a time!

This will be my DF's 2nd deployment and my 1st! Dreading every minunte of it!!

Sea deployments are usually for about 6 months, and usually happen once every two years or so for each boat. Work-ups start a few months before deployment and are generally A LOT of time out to sea. They could be "underway" for anywhere from a day to multiple weeks at any point in time. But remember the only thing that is consistant about the Navy is that EVERYTHING CHANGES! My DF has been in the Navy for about a year and a half and has been at his current command since January of '05. He is currently deployed and I just found out this weekend that they will be deploying again sometime mid '07 as well

Hope this Helps

DH has been on workups I don't even know how many times. 2 sea deployments, longest was about 9 months, and one land deployment to Iraq for 6 months.

DH has been deployed twice, first one was for 9 months and this one is suppose to be for 6 months. Besides scheduled deployments, the longest he has been out for a workup or anything was 2 1/2 months. Other than that it ranges from 1 week -3 weeks, but they are often and not very spaced out.

what about on a sub...cause df was telling me that they are only gone for like 3-4 months at a time and its like 3-4 months out, 6-12 months home or something like that.

On sube it depends whether it's a fast attack or a boomer. Fast attacks go out for 6months at a time plus short underways in between. Boomers have a more set schedule and are out 3months at a time then a certain amount in port. Unlike fast attacks they have 2 crews (blue and gold crew) which makes it easier to have a more set schedule since one crew leaves and the other one stays in port.

I think the average for deployment is anywhere from 4-9 months. I think anphibs take shorter deployments since they are just dropping Marines off. Dh is going our for five months this time, last time was six, and the time before that the ship was gone for 10 due to the war. They had to turn around and go back to the middle east.

John is currently on his first deployment.. it started in NOvember and it should end by May.. but who knows.. im TRYING not to get my hopes up.. but its so hard not to..

My dh has done 4 deployments
2 on a ship and 2 in Iraq
The 2 on ship were 6 months
the two on land were almost 8 months and right at 7 months
Work ups oh good lord way too many to count. There were times that they left one day and came back the next cause something broke.
Then they were usually for a couple of weeks to a couple of months.
He also did 2 RIMPACs which is where the West coast guys go and play around HI for 3 months
All of those were on Amphibious ships.
