"Typically serve..." "Typically do..."
That is all out the wind and you will go where the USN sends you! Orders are orders! No one can say what your orders will be while you are on active duty.
Everyone on here will have a different answer. There…
Minesweepers do serve in the gulf and anywhere needed.
To answer the question about Iraq/Afghanistan--
We are at a time of war. Minemen typically serve either onboard a minesweeper or are assigned to an aircraft unit. Typically shore duty is a tim…
According to my hubby, there were minesweepers in the gulf when he was there (same time frame). My buddy Troy has mentioned them vaguely, he's been there too, recently. Just not something you hear a lot about until something terrible happens.

I having trouble getting my LRP's in order and I'm scared that something is going to fall through and I'm not going to get them paid off.
Also, I am getting the run around from the loan companies and some of them are telling me to defer my loans whe…

Go back, scroll to my first entries when I created our MN group and follow the links I posted for MN position information. It is a wealth of info!
MN in the Navy usually work aboard a smaller ship (244 ft long the one my son is on) and with a crew o…
I'm not sure about all the technical aspects about where someone would go, however, this is my boyfriends first time being deployed and he's in Iraq right now.
