Don't join the navy if you don't want to be on a ship. Yeah, some jobs potentially never step foot on them, but it's the god drat navy. Ships are kindof what they loving do.

Friend is apparently enlisting in the Army with a good math degree to try and be an accountant of some sort if they let him. He's doing it as a path to citizenship, despite being able to secure other work in the past. Crazy?

Why does everyone always bring up the water when talking about the Navy? If any sailor winds up in the water something has gone horribly wrong. But yeah join the goddamn AF then realize its a terrible decision all around.

Yeah, assuming he has permanent residency, which you need to enlist, why would you enlist? Although you can get citizenship really fast through the military.

Sir Lucius posted:Navy: too busy to do your job because there is something to clean, a meeting to be in, paperwork to do, or some other Navy bullshit. This is 80% true for the rest of the Navy in general. The other 20% of the time your out collecting meaningless signatures for some qual that doesn't actually apply to your job. edit - about Navy swimming. I grew up in the midwest, where the only pools I ever had were above ground, and they weren't used for swimming, they were used to get girls to take their tops off. I'm a poo poo swimmer. If you can backstroke for a short distance and flop around enough to stay afloat for a minute, you can pass the third class swim test. poo poo's a joke.

Hey all. I'm 23, male, withdrew from college with poor grades in pursuit of a worthless political science degree. I signed up with the Navy for IT/ATF in hopes of having some useful computer skills when I got out and free money for going back to college. The more I read this thread though the more I think I'm making a mistake. Maybe I should apply to some community colleges instead? I don't know. I feel like there are some benefits the Navy is offering, but the life seems kind of lovely, and 6 years is a long time.

If you can function as a normal human and interact with people without cowering into a ball, then the Navy will be easy (especially as a computer janitor). If you went back to school, would you still pursue polisci? Do you have a financial safety net? edit: do you have the option of doing a 4-year contract?

I feel like there are some benefits the Navy is offering, but the life seems kind of lovely, and 6 years is a long time. As a dude that joined to get shot at and blown up, I must say that you can likely find more pleasure by putting your balls in a mouse trap and biting the student loans/grants to just go and get a degree in a community college and find yourself. EDIT: To explain a bit thoroughly my back story like the dude below my post said: I joined pretty much seeking death after dropping out of school. I was going to school for Biology, with a focus on Marine Biology and the chemistry involved with some species for possible expansion into immunology. I worked in a research lab, leading to me dropping out because I didn't feel like attending the freshman level courses the college wanted me to attend. I joined wanting nothing more than to get blown up and my parents get the money. Instead of that, I ended up getting the opposite, working hilariously enough in a mental health setting where I spend most of my time showing people my age reasons to live because they joined ratings in the Navy they weren't prepared for. I've seen my friends (mostly other corpsmen) either get killed or end up seeing mental health providers because they got blown up numerous times. If there's one thing I can say from speaking with people that went to college and dropped out to join for the possibility of going back, I can say that you might find yourself in the position where you'll look at a lovely experience while you're in and try and find an excuse to get out to go back to school. This will likely be fueled by something negative in your life at the time (you'll be stuck on a boat doing pointless DETs or something and you're going to get pissed because your LPO is a dick and some guy is sucking balls/massaging dicks to get that EP you know you deserve) and you'll be blind to the positives of the service that you may take for granted. I suggest that before you sign a contract for 6 years of your life you look into what you really want to do in life and what you desire most. Don't think that you're going to have an epiphany while in and your life will be 100% solved. That being said, if you want to join after taking a bit to weigh the pros and cons of you going back to school for something else (because poo poo, in this day and age what kid our age isn't in debt in some way, shape, or form?) then by all means join. Research a gig that fits you and will probably serve something in the future. I hear from some of my friends that getting CTM instead of IT can help out in landing a sweet gig on the outside but I don't know much about that. So, the choice is yours, but remember that regardless of if you join or if you go back to school, it's something that you'll have to look forward to for the next 6 years of your life, with a drastic difference in preparing for the future. Some commands suck. Others are phenomenal. A third of your experience is people, another your job, and lastly your outlook on it with what happens in interacting every day.

goodness posted:Joining the military sounds cool until you are in it I imagine. It's not lost on me that the tone we cop in this thread is "Oh god save yourself!" when it comes to joining the military. I think what's important is to consider who's telling you this advice and what they're experiences were. Problem is we don't really tell much beyond the funny, horrifying, or near-death experiences here on GiP. I got lucky. I did 10 years in the USAF doing a job that I loved, had zero friends killed in the war nor did I leave the service in terrible shape. I got free college, traveled the world, and wore a flight suit while making a huge sum of cash (relatively speaking). It was great. Enlisting was the best decision I ever made. Separating was the second best. Not everyone has that experience. Now also worth highlighting is many of us served when two wars were raging and had budgets to match. We got to do poo poo and kept busy doing what we were all trained for (mostly). What happened from 2012 to now is the wartime funding left so did all of the fun and all of the opportunities for schools. The time we spent doing legit work had to be filled. This is where the bureaucratic, acidic nightmare of peace-time military service comes in and why so many of us honestly advocate for you guys and girls coming in here to find something else to do with your lives.

"What better way than by letting the military feed me and house me. Plus pay for school even if they don't pay for all of it. I have tried to think if other ways to do that and it not land me with debts and having to worry about bills and other things I understand what they are saying about it being peace time and it being boring but peace won't last for ever especially with Russia doing their poo poo. I will look into Air Force especially now that the army is starting to give me issues about not wanting to leave until after July. I'm not going into this thinking it will be super exciting and over optimistic. The work will be boring but it's not for ever and it will make my life easier in the future. Well easier than some of my other options." Well I helped with what I could, at least she probably will not be joining the Army so we won a small battle.

I would not do polisci again. I picked it without even thinking about it and half the reason I withdrew was because I found it uninteresting and worthless. I would do something with computers. I've built my own and it's something I'd like to do going forward. As for finances I'm living with my parents. I have money saved up. I could probably get my old summer job back with a phone call. To have the Navy pay my student debt off and then give me a free ride after getting out for 6 years vs piling more debt on top of what I have and maybe not even getting a better job is really what I'm staring hard at as I think it all over. I don't think so. I held out for IT for about 4 months until a spot opened up. I turned down Nukes/Subs/etc until I got it.
