Funny that you should ask.
John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."
1 Timothy 2:5-6
For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the witness for this proper time.
Acts 4:12
And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”

Interesting. I could definitely see someone serving only on land when in the Navy. But... I would think that at some point there would be some requirement... even if only for a brief period... to be out on a ship.
My thinking goes to what might be sort of a parallel... When I was in the Air Force I worked in communications... never did anything with actual airplanes. But, our "sea duty" parallel would have been serving on a remote tour. There were a small few sites that were only a 1-year assignment because you were in some place like Turkey or middle-of-nowhere Korea, and you manned some mountaintop radar site, microwave repeater site, tropo-scatter site, etc. You weren't allowed to bring your family (for the married folk) and rather than you getting the standard 30 days of leave each year you got 60 days. I'm sure there were some other benefits thrown in as well. Had I re-enlisted after my first four-enlistment I almost certainly would have probably gotten a remote tour pretty quickly. They had to get people rotated in and out of those and spread it out as best as possible.

I served in the Naval Construction Force. Can't build anything on the water. We flew everywhere we went.
