Aircrew reservist

Thanks for the encouragement!

As soon as I posted that I see someone else asked very similar questions a few years ago. Im in a similar spot as him in that I definitely don't live anywhere near a naval air station (upstate NY). Most of the aircrew related training I'll be doing will probably be contained mostly in the 2 weeks where I travel to an air station to train with them. Is that correct pretty much?

I was really hoping during my time in the Navy I'll get at least one deployment! I have no idea how the process works but I'm told you can submit something saying you volunteer to be deployed. (Not just deploy if your unit does). However the aircrew trainer I was talking to said it's probably unlikely in general that I would deploy as an aircrew reservist. Is that pretty consistent with what you've seen?
