I know the answer for draft dodgers, but how about 18 year old kids that just sign up??? I don't know about the other services, (or even the modern Navy for that matter) but when I was in you filled out a "Dreamsheet", which identified your preferences of duty stations in order by 1st choice, 2nd choice and maybe a 3rd. It was called a Dreamsheet for good reason. In the end, you were sent wherever the Navy had a billet open and requirement for your rate and job code. The Navy had a general policy of rotation from sea duty to shore duty, but I know of many people that spent a full four years at sea (meaning stationed on a ship and not actually being at sea for four years).
