Hi Josh,
Yes it wasn’t unusual for a man to serve on several U-boats. Once experienced at his position he could be transferred to another boat where his experience was needed or he could be promoted and sent to another boat. Additionally if he was sent to a school or hospital and his boat had to leave without him with a replacement he might go to another boat after he was available again.
He also may have simply requested a transfer etc.

Ken Dunn
