Tomorrow, this time, I proudly sign up for the United States Navy. The beginning of a career that will guide the rest of my life and defend my nation.

If you haven't chosen a rate yet...be an OS or IT. Expanding job opportunities on the outside. Good working environments compared to most other rates. Always in the "KNOW" when operations are being conducted.

Of course I'm partial to the OS rate...You'd go to "A" school at my command here in Virginia. I'd probrably see ya around.

Don't let the people at MEPS talk you into any job you aren't interested in.

Stay away from the SEAMAN AIRMAN or FIREMAN programs. You'd be undesignated when you reach the fleet and sailors in those jobs sometimes never get a chance to "strike" into a rate.

If the rate you want isn't available right now...I'd delay signing any enlistment papers until it becomes available..walk away...don't take something you aren't completely satisfied with just to get in right now.

Sailors who are dissatisfied with their jobs often end up letting it effect their performance and some get into trouble. They don't do it on purpose but it just happens.

Good choise in service Blue :)

Dunno if you can choose what to do when you get there, but radar/ew/sonar or something like that should be good. Very stressful at times but you get to spend time inside and no swabbing or laundry duty. Dunno how this works over there either but im guessing you will learn some skills with electronics that you can use when you are finished.

Congrats and thanks for your service.

Sounds like ASTAC gave you some great advice; I think I'd listen to him.  Make haste slowly and get the job you want. ;)
