Just curious if anyone knows how long the USS Ronald Reagan will be out for? They just left on Saturday. I heard 3 months , but I am not sure?

My boyfriend just left for deployment as well, on a different ship. But, you can go to www.navy.mil to check up on the news. It won't give you exact dates or anything, but you can probably get a rough idea from there news articles.

The purpose of a surge deployment is to meet an immediate need, and the length may not be known even to the CO. There is an estimate, but nothing is concrete because it is a dynamic environment. We surged 6 months early in Oct 2004 for a 3.5 month tour, then the tsunami happened in Indonesia, and we got extended to provide humanitarian relief. So, to anwer you question, there is probably only an estimate, and nothing will be determined until 7th/5th fleet says they can go home. Old deployments were typically 6 months, not 3, but the surge deployment is used to fill a need. If something major happens and they are on the home, but get sent back, it could be 9 months, just ask the crew of the Abe Lincoln about their long one.

Three month deployment to support the conflicts in Korea. I know they are doing a stop in Korea and Japan.
I know the exact date they are coming back, but I am not going to post it here! How do I know? I was attached to that ship and got out last month.

Nuclear carrier deployments of about nine months are common, one reason that some married officers and men "come ashore", and even leave their navy careers. The Reagan can operate for years without refueling.

Normal deployments are 3 months long.

To answer this question would be a breach of operational security. Even posting the time of deployment is OPSEC

That information falls under OPSEC and should not be disseminated here or anywhere else.
If you are an authorized family member, utilize the Ombudsman. They are your source of information.
If you are not, then have no need to know.
