USMC serving on aircraft carriers?

Question

is there any way i can request to be stationed on a ship for like 6 months?i would like to travel around to the ports of the world but im obviously glad i didnt join the Navy i just think that would be cool.i would prefer an aircraft carrier as i heard they are like small cities on the water, and also if anybody has first hand experience as to the day to day duties of a Marine serving aboard a Navy ship.thanks.also my MOS is field artillery, which has absolutely nothing to do with ship security haha

Answer 1

Odds are you will end up in 29 Palms with your MOS

Answer 2

Your unit could go on a MEU in which you go out to sea for months on end on a LHA or LHD in several locations.  It is smaller than a Carrier but is used by the Marines for exercises, etc...  

Answer 3

WOW..Ummm..usually many are trying to find ways NOT to be on the 'boat'...lol...truly I have been on 3 carriers since I've been in (over 10) and hearing about it, and living it, are totally different things.  There are a few carriers that have Marines aboard, however I have never had any on mine during my deployments.  Not knowing too much about field artillery, I know it has nothing to do with us Navy personnel.  Marines can usually be found on communication ships or 'gator freighters' (amphibious ships.. AGC, LCC, APA,LPA, APB, LHD,APD,LPR,AKA,LKA,LCI,LCS,LHA,LPD,LHP,...
