How many times have you deployed and what makes this deployment unique? 5; In the short time I have been hereI am surprised how similar things operate here in comparison to home station.

How does your job differ in a deployed environment vs. home base? Depending on location, the deployed environment offers a greater variety of experiences. I have always enjoyed most, working with the sister services in the joint environment. Joint service is becoming more common stateside, but the deployed setting offers the most consistent experience. Branching out is sometimes good.
