shore duty
Non-seafaring military posting
Shore duty is military service performed on land rather than at sea, typically at a naval base, administrative office, or training facility.
It contrasts with sea duty or deployment aboard ships.
Shore duty assignments often allow service members more stable schedules and time with family: After three years on a destroyer, he was ready for shore duty.
