What rating is least likely to be deployed in the navy reserves?

Question

i have a friend who recently joined the navy reserves, he is currently in boot campp andI'mm worried about him being deployed. currently he is listed as an MA but i was wondering if there is another rating that would be less likely to be sent overseas>

Answer 1

Base garbage collector...geez!

Answer 2

I believe it is HIS choice, no? For you, the best rating is "civilian"... no deployment, but Emigration is allowed.

Answer 3

Seaman recruit. The only place they can be sent is boot camp.

The other rating is discharged veteran.

  

Answer 4

there are exactly TWO times when you absolutely cannot be deployed: when in school training, and when in school instructing.  EVERYBODY else is subject to deployment.  

as an MA..he WILL deploy.  

Answer 5

Are you worried he may get shot or something? Not likely, he'll be on a ship unless he requests an Iraq assignment. Even then he probably won't get it. Most likely division to be in Iraq would be the Seabees.
