At least for the near future (no matter who is in the White House), deployments are in your future should you join the AD military. I don't know exactly how the Guard/Reserves deploy for the most part; but current times are different and the Guard/Reserves have been deploying more than ever before.

I'll only speak for myself, but even when we were not in a time of war I spent my first 4 years in the fleet deploying nearly 12 months out of 18 months (a 6 month deployment, followed by 1 year "at home" time of which you were gone between 4-6 months on work-ups).
