I took the asvab and signed all my papers for the USCg a long time ago then got into a bit of trouble to where I couldnt go in until all my court visits had been done and all fines/jail time paid/done. now I have been eligible for a long time but decided to delay it, now I am lookign into the navy or the USCG again. I have met with the recruiter from the navy recently and I dont believ something he told me, anyone in here should know if you are in the navy, he says he has ben in for 6 years and never on a ship once. said it depends on what job you choose, but i was told by someon I met once on a vacation that was in the navy and they said I would have to serve 60 days on a ship every year, something like that, I dont remember exact numbers but some required sea-time. anyways it isnt a big deal I just wanted to know. and my other concern is that if I were to enlist I wouldnt have much time for toys (I know of course no time during bootcamp and not much time during the schooling but once you start your job, would I have time to say, work on my truck, or driving RC trucks, or 4 wheeling either after work or on weekends? that money could help my projects come along alot quicker and would be real nice, plus I know I dont want to go to 4 years of schol and this is the only other way for me to make a decent paycheck.
