The idea of ADSEP seems harsh. Why not just retain the member(s) on shore duty?
In fairness to ALL Sailors, each Navy member must be ready to deploy as part of the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). Even where a Sailor is on CONUS Shore duty, there is a significant possibility to be ordered to deploy in support of OEF or OIF. The very first Navy casualty of Operation Iraqi Freedom was on CONUS shore duty (Type-1), when the order came to deploy. Every Navy man and Navy woman MUST be World-Wide Assignable and Operationally Suitable 24/7. As the Navy right-sizes to execute the GWOT, those Sailors who chose this as their career must stand ready to do their part.
