My Hull tech has been part of his ship's normal deployment for the 6 1/2 years he's been in the Navy. I can't say they get deployed any more or any less than any crew on a ship. If not assigned to a ship, they would be only deployed when the unit or group goes, I would expect.
Mine has been on 2 different ships 1st ship deployed 2 times in the almost 3 years both 6-7 month deployments. This ship has gone out each summer, but sometimes has split it into 2 parts, each 2 to 3 months. Not sure if it will be a 2 part deployment this year or not. But keep in mind nothing is normal or set in stone with the Navy. Each ship/unit has it's own schedule.
Christine, my Hull Tech is my son. I don't see or hear from him much at all. Only see him when I go visit or he actually comes home on leave these days. Sorry for the confusion.
