It depends entirely on force mission requirements, retention levels vs. manning requirements, and available billets, and a sailor's time at sea.

All Navy sailors have established general career paths that include typical sea/shore rotation policies, but they're often negated by fleet needs and mission requirements. Fleet needs come before individual careers, but the average is around 3-4 year at sea and 2-3 at a shore station. Of course any sailor can opt to stay at sea for longer periods, but for a successful career, shore duty is required to gain the necessary experience.

Note that temporary duty ashore doesn't count toward rotation - you must be permanently assigned to a shore station for it to count. For example, though I spent a year going to my second advanced Sonar maintenance school in 1984, it was a temporary assignment from my boat, which was undergoing regular overhaul. When I left, I had 5 consecutive years of sea duty, as seen and recorded by the Navy.

Are there any enlistment bounses for signing on for a 6-year term for the Coast Guard?

Generally there is a bonus for enlistment. I have no idea if there is right now if there is. The best place to look or to ask questions is a Coast Guard Recruiter. Unlike the other armed services if you are apprehensive of joining a CG Recruiter will "NOT" hassle you. It is the only service that the recruiters wait for you to make the decision instead of calling every day and stopping by your work or home to pressure you to join. So, there is no pressure in calling and asking. The Coast Guard "ONLY" wants people that are really interested!
