My son just got back from his first deployment. He was gone for 7 months. He doesn't expect to be deployed again for another year. Good luck to your son :-)

Hi everyone! My SO is just at the beginning of his EOD journey (currently in the dive school phase). He is doing very well and seems to be enjoying everything he is learning so far. I have done a ton of research on the internet about EOD (I like to be as informed as possible) :) I know a lot of things have changed over the years and a lot of information I find about deployments is from years ago. How often are they usually deployed and how long are deployments?

Hi Prayermom. It is a wonderful weekend! It is an official graduation. It was an exciting weekend for us. So few graduate that it should be a special graduation. The only gift our son said he would accept was for us to travel from NJ to see him graduate. Most if not all parents came.
That weekend we had a meal at his Chiefs house, met all the guys at the beach and had a celebration dinner with all the families. Our son stayed at the base and we stayed at a hotel in Destin. We were incredibly proud and thankful we were able so spend such a special weekend with our son. If you can go, do it!

@ccsmilee they are provided meals at the galley, the money comes directly out of their paycheck and I believe they have a meal card that they show when they enter.

NikKis, the senior tech test is after they have been EOd for 2-3 and senior another 2 years or so after that. Mine will be taking his test sometime in August or September. Right now he is an LPO, training with a new group and they are getting ready to deploy the end of this year. he just got back from a deployment the end of last and will leave again this year. I am happy to know that on his next billet he will be shore duty even though he could be deployed if the need arises. Keeping everyone in prayer.
