The answer is obvious: shore billets, and not being moved between them too often unless you ask. Not being at sea for long tours, more often than 1/3rd of the time. Three and six month deployments instead of twelve. This is not done because big $$$ contracts and outsourcing is seen as more important than capability or people by those in Congress.
