As of Friday I am in the DEP for the US Navy.  I went and talked to a recruiter after my cousin signed up and took the ASVAB to see what I could get.  I got a pretty good score and a pretty good job so I decided to sign up.  I ship out March 27th.

Won't know until after Basic.  I will be either MM EM or ET or a combination of those 3.  It just depends.

This is exactly what it says in my contract.

"NF Nuclear Field (Open)(Non-Sub Volunteer) Program Guarantee"

It gives my bonuses and stuff, the physical and the having to keep my performance up.  Then it says, "Rating Assignment - During recruit training personnel not already guaranteed Machinits's Mate training will be selected for training in one of the following ratings: Machinist's Mate, Electrician's Mate or Electronics Technician.  This decision will be based on the needs of the Navy, test score profile, and upon the personal desire of the individual."

LMAO!

Actually, I originally went in as an ET in the Nuke field.  Decided I didn't want to go through 2 more years of school and dropped out to the fleet.  That's when I became an FTN'r!

I'm also considering doing CTI, but I have to take another test and I haven't done it yet.  I can change my desired rating before final enlistment.

Congrats!  

Just be careful around drunk Marines, after getting conked on the head a few times they dont see so well anymore, and if they see a white blur they might mistake you for a nurse.  :)

Hope you don't mind being away from the family for long periods of time. Non sub means CVN's. Only other ships in the Navy with reactors. Underway forever stuck in the bottom of the boat.

Should have joined the Coast Guard. Too many cool jobs to list and we get to go out and do it everyday. WAY more laid back than the Navy too.

Nice for all the so called well wishes guys....

Munkii,
Welcome to the Adult world and doing something to make a difference. Congrats on getting the field of your choice. In boot, keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut. It will go easier on you that way.

for serving.
