What is the Navy's most shore-going rates?

Just wanted to know which rates get less time out to sea. Thanks

there are only a few ratings that have zero Sea duty.. CTI( Lingist) and any of the SeaBee ratings.

that being said: SeaBees deploy.. a LOT. as in a 6 month deployment roughly every 18 months.. and CTIs also have the potential to deploy..a LOT..and they spend a LOT of time overseas and in some cases, family cannot go with you. and BOTH ratings will see underway time.. in the form of a deployment or transportation .

Sea Bees are where the landlubbers go. But I tell you what, out of my four years active duty, I did 1 Year, 7 Months, 11 Days haze grey and underway...you know what...IT'S A LOT OF FUN! Being out at Sea is not nearly as bad as what you imagine it is. I have seen more countries than I care to count and I wouldn't give that experience up for the world!

if you don't want to go to Sea then don't join the Navy. Any Rate can go to sea at any time. how long you are at sea depends on the command you are assigned to, you could be out for a few days, a week, few weeks, a month, few months or longer than 6 months. Or you can even be sent Overseas on IA - Individual Augmentee assignment to a place like Afghanistan, Kuwait, Iraq, Djibouti, etc...

mabye a meteorologist (weatherman) .. but.. realize that carriers are floating cities.. so they will probably have a few meteorologists on board..

i cant think of any rate.. that wont go to sea. but there's a few where the shore billets far outnumber the sea billets..

something like a dental tech or a legalman .. (corpsmen DO go to sea)

bottom line is if you want to avoid sea duty.. the navy's not the best choice.. the BEST service for people.. is the air force.. the peopel that run the air force depend on their very lives on the work the enlisted people do to keep those aircraft flying.. they take care of their people.. by far the best people service.. 9-5 job.. etc.. almost no such thing as duty.. or 24 hour crap manning some ship somewhere.. every 4 days.. (on top of a normal 40-60 hour workweek) one year in the shipyards we worked 12 hour m-f .. and 8 hours on saturday.. then on top of that was 24 hour duty every 4 days.. we did that for a year straight.. that's the navy...

Any seabee rate won't even see a ship for the most part. MA's are the police of the navy and are rarely on ships except aircraft carriers.

Umm... There's probably a few more, like HMs, but I can't really think of any right now...

Sea bees never go out to sea! To be honest i would much rather have sea duty because that means NO TAXES!! but its like every body else said if you don't wanna go out to sea then don't join the Navy because that is what we are all about! and watches really are not as bad as everybody makes them seem!
