I'm considering applying for a DCO reserve intel officer and wanted to get some perspectives on deployment expectations going forward. I am not opposed to deploying, and would simply like to have some honest and updated perspectives in this area.
- How often do reserve intel officers get deployed? Are these deployments usually 6-12 months?
- Are most deployments for reserve intel officers OCONUS, land based? Based on what I've been able to research, it seems that it's very rare for reserve intel deployments to be on the sea or CONUS.
- How do deployments as a reserve intel officer in the Navy compare with other branches?
