Darius it depends on the duty station your stationed at. Some ships go out onto deployment for a longer period of time and some ships stay in their homeport for their maintenance cycle. Really depends on the ships mission. Just be prepared to go out on deployment for 6-10 months. Its not straight 4 years you get breaks in between for the ship to get worked on for the next deployment cycle.
