Service members who have been non-deployable for the past 12 months or more will be separated from the military, based on new Defense Department policies that are under final review.

I agree, I retired because I was not able to deploy as a single father. If you are a Naval Officer you should be on a ship or at least in the normal rotation.

CWO3 Dennis M. - Warrant I believe that relates to someone who is in a Non-Deployable status. A sailor on shore duty is still deployable, there were many incidents during the gulf wars that we augmented someone on shore duty to fill a critical deployment overseas for six months. Many of my guys when I was on shore duty asked to do those because they would get the extra pay. Well maybe they wanted to get a way from a spouse for six months.

CWO3 Dennis M. - I am at least always good for a laugh. I had a bunch of Chiefs with lots of drama on the home front.

SGT (Join to see) - Actually this was going on before Barry, we had troops that would never deploy and they bounced all over the place but never were discharged. When you need troops to deploy it doesn't help when you have more broke, lazy and shifty bodies then deploy able.

yes I agree to some degree. its seemed to get exponentially worse in those year though. or maybe it was that I just started personally seeing more often.

Fifteen of my 21 years were at sea. Of the five remaining, teaching or training assignments. As noted earlier, normal rotation. There must be major differences in this area, with the Army. Non rotation wasn’t a choice for me. It is a pet peeve of mine that some SMs continuously managed to get staff duty, which resulted in promotions and plum assignments.
