Sea Show Flow (SSF) is the personnel policy that assigns sea and shore duty tour lengths for each enlisted rating. SSF replaced sea shore rotation (SSR) as the enlisted tour length policy in 2008. Tour lengths are determined using the sea shore flow model with inputs from rating experts, detailers and major stakeholders.
