Yeah I'm familiar with the area. My mother in law lives in a small town called Wimauma, about 15-20 min fromgonna try and get MacDill after my time as a drill SGT. I just need to put in for my TS clearance and I should be good.
Yeah, it's nice. Great weather. Pretty women. Lax environment depending on your command. Great environment for singles and families.
Give me a day or so, they're 7 hours ahead waiting on my ppl to hit me back about itAny of my Navy cats know anyone in, or have been stationed at HPU Bahrain, I think I'm getting orders there and before I go back and forth with my Detailer about how I wanted RIVRON 2 out of Bahrain, I need to know about so I can weigh my options
I joined at the same age and graduated basic/AIT top 3. What's your motivate for joining? You going active or reserve?I'm 24 and interested in joining. Anybody joined this late ? Any cons to enlisting at my age ?

True that on starting lateI joined at the same age and graduated basic/AIT top 3. What's your motivate for joining? You going active or reserve?
Just in need of a career. Got a decent paying job but I've kinda maxed out since I don't have a degree. No kids at the moment either.
My father a 25 year vet out of AF ..I'm regretting not going straight in
I'm 24 and interested in joining. Anybody joined this late ? Any cons to enlisting at my age ?
Wat did you all do about bills ? I got a 350 dollar car note and some credit card debt. I'm guessing I could return my tags and cancel my car insurance for a while since I wouldn't be driving
Any job that will easily transition into the civilian world once you get out usually, (HM- hospital corpsman is usually the main one), thing is though most of those jobs are overmanned so advancement quotas suck. And I don't believe that about Aviation jobs, I work in aviation and I love it. Like everything it's all in what you make it, and how hard you work to get to where you wanna be. Everyone has their own opinion about everything so be careful with that. Doing your own research is a MUST, I use to be a recruiter so if you have any general enlisting questions let me know. Also there's an active Navy Chief and a few others on here as well so a lot of experience all around if you need any advice or input.For all my peeps in the Navy what are the most desirable jobs ? Heard that I should stay far away from any job near the flight deck

Most of those jobs like ET, EM, OS, FC, IS, IT, etc. have good advancement quotas up to E-6/E-7. Not really competitive if you know your job and perform well honestly. We call them push button thirds because outta A or C school they're automatically advanced to E-4 (for ET/FC I know for sure). Also, usually a clearance is required for most those jobs just an FYI. Also, have you taken the ASVAB or the EST (practice one)? Depending on what you score is what type of job offers you'll get...with that though just because you qualify for a job doesn't mean you'll get it, again some jobs are overmanned and you won't be able to enlist in that specific field.Most interesting job I see is the Electronic Technician. Would love to be able to get into Engineerring. Are all the applied sciences jobs really competitive ?

If you took it in high school it's invalid now. Plus I know when I took it in high school my mind wasn't on joining at the time so I didn't take it seriously. Definitely go meet with a recruiter and feel things out. You're older too which is good, so don't let anyone sell you bs, and remember you don't have to join that day just take the EST which they'll probably put you on immediately, then set up another appointment to take the actual ASVAB. That'll give you time to figure out what you really want to do.Honestly I've jus started looking into it. I'm 24 and need to jumpstart my life. I have an active TS right now so maybe that gives me a leg up. I'm thinkjng I'll go meet the recruiter sometime soon and really get the process started. How long are ASVAB scored valid ?

I thought I replied back to you Art, my bad. So you did get those orders? I'll be out there in April for a detachment rotation myself.solewoman you're an officer, that's cool. And also everything SoleWoman said is true, I used to be an engineer (EN) before switching over to MA (Police) and it was hard work and long hours, although there was a quiet satisfaction from it because I enjoyed seeing the product after I was done, but it was hard work and I knew I would not want to do it for very long. IT, IC, FC, ET,IS, CT are the way to go, stay out of trouble, keep your clearance together and you'll be fine.
Also, who here has been to Bahrain, I get to go to HPU Bahrain in June, really wanted RIVRON 2 out of Bahrain, but oh well.
