as an air force vet, our deployments were 6 months. I am sure you could extend to a year but I haven't personally heard of a 2 year deployment. Our overseas assignments for single airmen would be two years or three years if you were married. Short tours were 1 year, short tours are to remote places or more dangerous assignments, like I spent 13 months in Korea. Odds are he was stationed somewhere in Europe for two years, not on the front lines.

Some military assignments are longer due to a specialty they have or if it's a classified unit working on a detail. It could be they've been in specialized trainings and aren't able to stop at home before getting deployed. Some even sign up for longer assignments. I know some soldiers who found civilian life harder than being away doing a job they know and feel a sense of purpose doing. There's prob better explanations, but that's my experience with ppl in the military who are gone long periods of time.

My son was in the US Army right out of high school, and then joined the National Guard while going to University. in 2002/2003 he was gone for over 18 months, 15 months of that spent in Iraq, in combat. He was in Mississippi for training for 6 months before he deployed. That was a long 18 months. fortunately for our peace of mind, naively, we knew he was in tank maintenance and repair, and assumed he was in his nice safe aircraft hangar where he worked on said tanks. It never entered my head to wonder how busted up tanks got in for repair. Turns out that while he was team leader and could have let his guys be the one to climb out of the working/tow tank to hook it up to the busted up tank, they did drills to see who could do that the fastest and he was by far the fastest out, hooking up, and back in. He wouldn't allow any of the slower guys to do it, because they were under fire the whole time. I wa so thankful I didn't know that while he was still over there!

Their home bases can be out of the country. Germany is a big one that people will get stationed to for years before coming back to the states. My dad was stationed in Japan for a year then went to Vietnam for a year then came back to California to finish his 4-year commitment. My mom did not see him for 2 years during that time.

I’m the oldest of 6, my dad went on 7 year long deployments over his 23 year career in the army. Honestly the worst for me was his last because it started before COVID but it was scheduled to end in April 2020, obviously he didn’t return till later but he didn’t come home till late June and it was so difficult for all of us. My dad could never surprise us for a visit cause my mom always questioned when he’d be home too much and she could never lie to my little siblings about his return date These always bring my to tears

I always wished my father was alive & could have had the same experience. He was color blind all his life, passed away when he was seventy nine. Would be cool if the blokes would react to some of those videos. I also like the reactions of deaf babies, children & adults hearing for the first time. They are just such feel good videos compared to much of the content on KZitem. Just like these videos. :)

And the 2 year ones, aren't "Deployments" Their duty stations. Usually the ones in Italy, Japan, Germany, Korea. You move into a house (If you're married) and work a everyday job on base. Deployment is actual combat, those are the shorter ones.

I think the two-year thing is when they are stationed overseas. My brother, uncles and cousins have all been stationed in places like South Korea, Germany, Qatar, Turkey, England, etc. My cousin's husband was stationed overseas and it wasn't a great deployment to take your family to. Rather than disrupt their young teenaged kids from their schools and friends, she and the kids stayed in the USA and he went. Unfortunately, it was necessary for him to achieve his next level promotion and he was not going to be in one location the whole time. He was a helicopter navigator (has since retired) which is a super competitive area and I think sometimes to get a specific kind of training they want they have to trade off with a higher level of service. I think he was able to come back and visit a couple of times during that deployment, tho....but I'm not certain. I suppose it depends on how you use your time off, if it works out with your job, and how far it is to travel, etc.

No military member wants to be taken for granted, but weirdly enough...most of my older military friends who have done multiple tours actually REALLY don't like when someone says, "Thank you for your service" to them. Idk why, maybe it comes across as disingenuous? I'm not sure. I think a lot of it might have to do with the lack of mental help assistance through the VET hospitals, or getting a stable job and trying to acclimate back into civilian world. "Thank you for your service" might feel empty if it's just words.

Trust me, if I didn't mean it I wouldn't say it. But then I come from a long line of military vets. I was a military brat & my dad was gone more than he was home before he retired after 20+ years. I think the people that say it, mean it. Those that don't, don't bother saying anything or if they don't support the military they make negative comments. Why bother saying something like that? What's the point of saying it if you are not sincere? It's just my opinion and experience from people I know, ie: family, friends, co-workers. etc. If you appreciate the sacrifices military men, women and their families make on our behalf, there is no reason not to thank our service men and woman. And yes, I agree and probably most people do, that our government needs to do better when it comes to services for our vets. So, maybe you can pass on to your military friends that there are plenty of Americans that mean every word of that phrase when they say it, write it, type it, etc. :)

@@emmef7970I'm guessing it's actually because of what multiple tours implies. Being a veteran is respectable, but many who have done things like been on multiple tours do not have even a similar view of their job as they did before they had those experiences. I also have several veterans both on my mom and dad's side, my uncle jordan is so tormented by guilt of the things he was made to do being in active combat in the middle east. For many of these people, I imagine being thanked for their service just dredges up immense amounts of bitterness and self loathing, I'm sure it serves as a reminder the difference between what the general public thinks the service involves, and what they actually had to do during their time in the military and the scars it has left.
