My impression of the navy is that they live on boats out to sea for months at a time and then get like 3 weeks ashore before repeating. So do sailors just not have a land life? Is nobody in the navy allowed to own pets? Where does your mail go? What about a family life?

18 USC is giving you the correct answer. For example, I spent 4 years attached to an aircraft carrier. My first year I was at sea for 276 days, but I spent the rest of the three remaining years mostly in port. When I’m done with my current ship I’ll have done about a year at sea total, spread out over hree years.
When not attached to a ship, it’s like working a normal job mostly. My sea duty/shore duty rotation is 3 years sea duty/4 years shore duty.
