How likely is a female Navy Reservist trained in heavy equipment operation (bulldozers, etc.) to go to Iraq?
Seabees are over there for the long haul. Even after the fighting is over they will still be there. You will end up going, the reserves are being pulled from more than ever to make up for the lack of active enlisted. Just plan on going if you join, and don't cry when you get activated because you will eventually.
Equally likely as the male counterparts. Reserve Seabee battalions are generally deployed to Iraq as a whole. Women don't stay behind.
100% you're a SEABEE! Who do you think is building all the stuff over there? Every base in the war zone has SEABEE's. Great work, great job training! Don't join any military branch if you don't want to do the job you signed up for. We are the Navy we deploy!
As close to 100% as possible. All the Navy SeaBee battalions, active and reserve, are rotating overseas to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Depends on if your unit is an engineering one, if so the chances are slightly better, but for now the Army Corps of engineers are handling it.
