life as a submariner

[kdingo88]

hi guys im interested in joining the navy and curious about life as a submariner

my questions are regarding a typical (3-6 month? if thats right) deployment

1.How long are you submerged for on average and maximum before getting out?

2.How often and for how long do you get out over a 6 month deployment?

3.Do you get many or any foreign port excursions?

4. How long is spent between deployments?

5 .Advantages of being a submariner over surface fleet?

The short answer:

1. 3-6 months, roughly.
2. You don't.
3. No.
4. About 3-6 months.
5. Submarine pay.

Somebody will no doubt be along shortly with more in-depth answers. Try the search function - you might find something there...
