Drew...joining the Navy?

whatsup guys (and girls) I just want to let you know that I signed up yesterday. I'm at a point were I don't want to be left behind anymore. Of course my parents tried to talk me out of it but Iknow what I want to do. No, I wasn't sucked in or anything. It feels natural. Besides normal jitters. I'm ok about it. Theres no recruit training yet but I want to leave a soon as I can. (less time to change my mind.) Nobody wants to see there child leave like that because of the stress from worrying. Don't worry I'll be ok. I'll surriunded by people who want to protect me and I do the same for them (and you guys) When that time comes, I'll let you know. Until then, it will be nice to post funny threads with you guys.

Drew.

well good luck then. And thank you

I wish you good luck...I hope it all works out well.

" IN THE NAVVVVVVVVVVVYYYY!!!"

Haha, good luck man. Any thoughts on what field you may want to enter.

Good luck and if you find yourself in a sub with 20 other horny men keep your back to the wall as you sleep.

Come over to the darkside, (MarineCorps) We'll take care of you... when were done hazing you!

" IN THE NAVVVVVVVVVVVYYYY!!!".
:lol2:

Just hope his bunk buddy isn't the Cowboy or the Indian. :lol:

Damn it, 91300 I can't get that damn sound out of my head now. Damn you. :banghead:

Seriously, good luck drew. Thanks for serving your country and be safe. (even though I think the navy is th4e safest of the armed forces, but thats for another topic).

TS out

Enjoy the Navy!

Another friend of mine is in the Navy. He's a medic or something, I don't really remember. Best of luck. Don't second guess your decision. I've thought of joining the armed forces plenty of times, but they don't want me and my brother (a marine) won't let me...best wishes!

Good job dude!! Thanks for your service. :thumbsup:

Have any fields in mind that you want to work in??

Good luck, i hope you get everything out of it that you want man. :bigthumb:

And spread the good word of AF all over the world!




or not.....

I must say I can't see you being a seaman drew...

Ok I had to say it. Anyway, I wish you the best of luck and I hope you come back here in one piece.

Drew, I hope you have a really good time, and I wish you the best. I definitely agree with your parents though, I'd be sad if someone I knew left. Oh wait...

[gay voice] OooooooOOoo, look at the cute sailor boy! [/gay voice]

Think about all the girls youll meet over seas. Almost every girl likes a man in uniform, although some girls dont like semen.

Im gonna quit trying to make stupid jokes now, good luck with it and hope everything works out well for ya, keep us up to date man.

I bet you just wanted to be a lil semen. If you go to Taiwan they will sucky fu—y long time 5 dolla. Lol just kidding. I hope all goes good for you. What’s your MOS going to be? You going to be the guy to hit the big red button what ever you do don’t hit the big red button.

Thailor boy!

While in the Army my MOS was 72G, cosy little job within the bunkers sending TS messages. Only problem is when I went to Germany there were too many and instead of being in the cosy bunker they temorarily assigned me to 72E which is outside in the field, :banghead: Oh well I still liked it.
I think serving is a great thing to do. I would have love it in the Navy probably more than the Army, but I can't swim. :rolleyes:

NAVY- No Ass Virgins Yet

Thanks guys! I feel alot better after reading the replies.

I'm back and I passed the exam(s) and everything. I still don't have any orders yet. I haven't found a program yet. Oh and the Marines jokes? How do you guys enjoy taking orders for the Navy? Arny guys? If any plane flies or ship sails over/past you,(I doubt that will never happen) they had to go through us first Air Force? 98% of you will never fly a plane.








Hah! J/p. We all have our respect branches. And when they join, it is a great force!

haha, cute smiley there Round.

TS out

congrats. good call, player.

Drew, best of fortunes with it. My brother is in the Navy, in EOD - or Explosives Ordinance Disposal. He recommends it as the best job. Part SEAL, part Diver, not much sea duty, and no BS job like chipping paint for 16 hours a day. If you have the scores, check it out.

Best to you, drew, it will be a bit hard at first, but gets easier as ya go. I do suggest if you go sea-duty, which I am 99.99% sure you will, stay out of the carriers at first if you can. Go with a destroyer or supply ship, but of course that will all depend on the MOS you become, as others have queried you about.

And don't take offense to being called a squid, but you are, so get a Marine buddy [those guys are serious dudes].

Off we go into the wild blue yonder, flying high into the skies. Etc. Etc.

Seriously, thumbs up to you, drew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ret. Capt. USAF.

Thanks again guys. My new job when I go in is going to be a Aviation Electronics person. I work on F-18's and other related aircrafts.

Good luck brother!! I think you will enjoy the experiences. If you don't like it, it is only four years and the experience you will gain will be invaluable. Take every advantage the Navy will give you and you will be succesful. What rate are you going to be?? Any questions, just ask.

I am an Aviation electrician. Fun job. Any questions or advice I am here to help.

Should've joined the Airforce, dont have to worry about being seasick (if you are) and have to be in a boat with a bunch of other guys smuggling porn magazines, lol. Thats why im Joining the Airforce as soon as I get outta highschool.

Nothing wrong with joining the air force....................besides the fact that you probably won't get the job you want....if any.

Sea sick? maybe. Who knows? Can't try to be a seal that way.

I like the water.

Good luck to you. My brother just joined the Navy as well. You are much braver than I. Good luck.

Welcome to the Navy. Your first set of orders will be to bootcamp in Chicago. Bootcamp is a joke. I remember watching Full Metal Jacket and expecting bootcamp to be exactly like that. Its not. More like a mind fuck than anything else. It just sucks being restricted for 3 months, or so. After bootcamp your off to A school. Just remember these words, choose your rate, choose your fate. Rate being the job that you take.

Looks like you'll be taking my spot as I seperate this October. Oh yeah, ship life blows. Try to go to a shore command. Oh yeah, every navy recruit wants to be a Seal but 99% never make it. Good luck with that. Don't be naive.

Hey look, I have a picture of a navy seal on a special ops mission...

Sorry, couldnt find a picture of a seal firing a gun.

Thanks for the advice. I have 4 friends in the marines and 2 in the navy............3 friends in the seals.............I know what to expect....

So you got 2 friends in the Marines and 5 in the Navy. Did your Navy friends tell you about battlestations? Buhahahahaha

Yes that is what I meant. Battlestations? HA Ha....


ship life can kiss my ass. Not really. I dont want to be in the middle east where the fucking air feels like a DAMN sauna(sp) I won't mind tho. Those big ass carriers and subs give me the chills cause they are soooo big. But its cool tho.
Ironicly some body stole the battleship game from the lounge...cheaters.

So hold on you're joining the SEALs? Hope you survive through it man, I think you already know what goes on so I wish ya luck, also the only branch that gives you the f-ing job you signed up for is Army and Navy, whats up with that? Oh well better than Marines..they get hand-me-downs.

awwww navy boy. how sweet..... My hubby was a navy boy in desert storm. ouch I will shut up now

Well I like the idea. I don't want people to get the wrong Idea. Thats a lot oof tough shit. And by no means is easy. I wantto pass the first time. YOu only get one chance. I still have plenty of time to train tho. I can volunteer when i think I'm ready.

good luck with that... but if you dont want to go to the mid east...shoulda joined the Air Force...although you never get to go where you want to there either, you MIGHT get the job you want

Nah. I like the navy better. I current working on more college credit and refer more people to join so I can go in as a E-3 or higher. Florida here I come........ (after my bonus)

i wish u luck and a safe journey

Florida!!! Whoo-hoo! That's cool. I already knew, but still cool.

After boot camp I'll be doing a lot of touring around the U.S.

and maybe the world. Any followers? Nope didn't think so. Oh well. Has anybody heard if the pensacola base is rebuilt yet?

Yeah try not to go to the hot weather. Im in iraq and it was 113 at 8 am. good luck with that and welcome to the miltary. Expect to go a lot of places you dont want to.

Rebuilt? What happened to it? As far as I know NAS is still up and running.

I don't know. I heard that a hurriane messed it up a while ago and they were rebuilding some of the building. This or that may be old news.

If you have any ?'s once you get to pensacola Pm me ill give u my 2 cents on the town since i goto school there

Cool. I'll be a rat in a maze around the world for a while. I'll need all the help I can get from you floridianerers.
I plan on getting married in the navy. My wife and kids will always be taken care of. That if she doesn't cheat on me while I'm gone training and learning about stuff.

i prefer floridian

Florida!!! Whoo-hoo! That's cool. I already knew, but still cool.You make it seem as if I'm going meet you or something......... ;)
