I'm not being sensitive, just putting it how it is. As told to me by various RN peeps over the years in various crewrooms. Not my fault if your oppos are embarrassing you by peddling the truth !
As for deployments, the dit from a very experienced guy who had been around a fair time, went along the lines of only deployed a handful of times and the longest ever he did was less than 2 months. It's not really that important, just putting it as a reply to the dit about deploying for 10 months etc.... Which I don't doubt that the FAA do. CHF are a different story though.
