I'm familiar with the cycle process of platoon workup and team training for let's say, 6-12 months, followed by the 6 month deployment. My question is, what is the 6 month "stand down" period like. Is that a time spent back in the U.S. at san diego or virginia doing misc. stuff? Is this a time when SEALs can usually take their allotted Navy leave? What happens during this period?

18 month work up 6-8 month deployment. Get back and start all over again. No 'stand down' 6 montth period.

You are always gone doing stuff...I haven't been home for more than 2 weeks (and we were still working local) except for X-mas. You are gonna be gone ALOT, get used to it.
