ARM,AIRFORCE OR NAVY FOR A MARRIED PERSON BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF DEPLOYMENTS?

AF Deployments are all 6 months, with 18 months home time. How often... depends upon the base, the mission, and the career field. At one point hubby deployed 5 times in 5 years. Next base... their mission was done from the base itself, so very few in aircraft mx deployed. SF is notorious for 6 months gone, 6 months home. Current base.... the are non-deployable due to the wings mission. But our maintainers cover a 12 month window, with two large groups each covering a 6 month block, and tgey do this every other year.

So you just never know!

Dont believe the hype

1. AF takes ccare of people -- thats BS the AF treats enlisted as an affter thought

At one time the AF had better housing, but not any more, the other service have caught up

promotions are the slowest in any service branch

deployments are usually 90 days every two years, but can be 6 months every year

2. Navy -- you have to deal with both deployments and with sea cruises

expect to spend half your enlistment away from family -- thats more than any service branch

3. Army -- deployments are now every 3rd year, so your looking at one deployment in your first enlistment

Note: desk jobs ? i never saw anyone sitting at a desk in the AF, -- everyone was out of the flightline working

I agree that the Navy isn't good for someone who has a family.

This is a copy/paste from something I just typed up:

"...that ship could potentially be gone for half the year, not including deployments.

My boyfriend's ship was out for probably half my pregnancy (in and out, not one long time), he missed our daughter's birth, and his ship has been gone every two weeks since then.

I'm in the Navy as well and my schedule was about the same when I was still on a ship. But even with that experience and understanding it's still been really hard for me to see him go."

Also, in the Navy depending on your job, you could also be working long hours. My boyfriend is an MC (photojournalist) and he typically gets off work at 1500-1600. I'm an engineer and sometimes getting off at 1900 was a good day.

Army def has highest deployment rate over navy and airforce my dad has been in airforce for 26 years and I'm in the Navy neither of us has had to go on deployments

Army deploys the most. Marines and navy followed by air force and then coast guard (humaritarian releif and rescue).
