Join the Coast Guard instead. Better life than the Navy. We don't sail around and train for war, we do our jobs everyday. Law enforcement, search and rescue, homeland security, AIDS to navigation. I could give you a list of names a mile long of Coasties who used to be Navy and came over because we are better. Not navy bashing but you might want to look into it before you commit to 4 years of sleeping in a small room with 99 other guys on some destroyer, with 6 toilets 4 urinals, and 4 washer / dryers. Thats what I saw on a Spruance class destroyer when we pulled in next to them.
