Been there, done that. After watch clean up as an E-6, unless you're Chief of the Watch qualified (which I was), then you get to supervise everyone else doing the clean up.
Every branch has something to offer that no other branch has. I have enjoyed my 11 years in the Navy and look forward to my next 9. Even the Coast Guard has some kick ass opportunities, so don't forget them. Bottom line, I don't care what branch you are in. Thank you for serving.....That being said, Navy Hospital Corpsmen kick ass!

COW here...i stand dive, though...i just got qualified about a year ago...maybe i'll put some khakis on if i'm lucky
I'm just going to say, I neglected to serve and instead took the 4 year college route. I, along with almost everyone else I know my age that hasn't served, regret that decision. The girlfriend you have at 18 will most likely not be your life partner, so don't let that hold you back (if you have one). I've seen a lot of people who you were sure would end up being jokes going to the military where they got their act together, learned skills, got an education and have life by the horns now. Plus they have the earned respect that goes with serving.
I have a family now, but if I could go back to where I was single and unattached, I would sign up in a heartbeat. My life is great, and I wouldn't change a thing about where I am right now, but I think the military is an important experience that helps people grow.
Just something you'll appreciate when you get older.

Tried qual'ing that. Couldn't get past "Contact Coordinator" on the surface. Just couldn't stand "dancing with the one-eyed b*#ch". And it was a pre-req for DOOW.
May have been one of the things that kept me from making CPO.

Jeez, this guy has either shipped out or forgotten about this by now.Yes. Yes we do.
I'm going through my old email and finding lots of lost threads.
Our Pastor was a Navy Chaplain stationed in Newport RI.
Awesome guy. That is a great job, and they really need them.
Go for it \MM/ !
naw, that's cool...funny, though, an OSC is a Chief Operations Specialist...just so ya know...navy ocs is run by the marine corps, so watch plenty of mail call to get you accustomed to r. lee ermey...you'll be seeing plenty of gunnies around
yeah, just about he entire chaplain corps are boots on ground over there in iraq and afghanistan...and the RP's with them...
oh, no...marine officers go through a version of enlisted marine corps boot camp...it's a lot more difficult than navy ocs because marines are riflemen first, and everyone receives field infantry training, but marine NCO's run navy ocs
The Marines are really in the Navy. They are in fact, cross dressing sailors (along with some Corpsmen). Do not tell them this unless you're ready to wrestle.
Hey! I'm a former corpsman and about the size of an import pickup truck. You want to come over here and call me a crossdresser?
