Depends on the kind of aircraft. Your first sea and shore tours should be about three years each.

No, not all FRS are co-located with their fleet squadrons. It really depends on the community you are going into.
Most officer tours are 24-36 months, with exceptions of course.
Some communities only have one FRS, but squadrons based on both (3 including Japan) coasts. If there are multiple FRSs, you get sent based on 4 things: Needs of the Navy, Needs of the Navy, Needs of the Navy, and your preference.
How long you are in a location depends again on community and the four things listed above. I spent my entire, illustrious, 12 year active duty time (after flight school, of course) in Virginia Beach. RAG/Fleet squadron/Fleet Squadron/RAG IP/LSO School/Air Wing Staff. As my buddy Borat would say "Very Nice." I have a good friend, started when I did, that moved about 5 times in the same 11 year period. It used to be bad to "homestead", not quiet as bad these days, but doing the "hard" tours (Japan is primary) is always a tie-breaker come DH and Command Screen.
