wherever a CVN can be found
Ok, i understand this much, and correct me if I'm wrong.
After power school, you will be stationed to a CVN. Not a base. Although your family lives on base lets say charleston, you are stationed on an aircraft carrier.
You report to work daily and stand watches on the aircraft carrier that is in port at charleston. You get on the ship at a certain time, you get off the ship at a certain time, you go home. Unless for training where you may be gone 2 weeks at a time.
Deployment is when you are given orders to remain on the ship for an extended period of time at sea to do work needed by you for the purpose of the navy. This happens every 18 months, for a period around but not limited to 6 months.
shore duty is when you are needed at the naval base, say for education and instruction, or if your rate is primarily needed on shore...
sea duty is when you are needed at sea, say repairing, running, and supervising things on a ship.
nukes, unless instructors or recruiters, will be primarily stationed to a sub or CVN. BEcause, duh, your job is to supply power to them.
So, I will be stationed to a CVN because I'm female. The CVN will be in port at my home base where my family is, unless needing to deploy or go on a training mission.
