[QUOTE]Originally posted by Hobbes: [QB] ... I joined the US Navy. Why? Very good question. Did I want to serve my country? Defend freedom and "the American way"? Kick Afghan ass? And any other patriotic reason? Short answer: No. None of that mattered. What did matter is I'm 20 with no job and the best college I could go to is Trident Technical College. The best job would be minimum wage. I'd like to move out, get a car, and have a decent paying job that could lead to a good paying civilian job. So I made the only choice possible. Why the Navy instead of some other military like the Army or Air Force? Probably cause both my parents were also Navy. I was born in a Navy hospital.. so I suppose I'm naturally just biased towards the USN. I leave for bootcamp in Great Lakes, IL on March 12th for 9 weeks. After that I go to Pensacola, FL for 32 weeks of school at NTTC (Navy Technical Training Center) Corry Station. What I'll be doing is Electronics Warfare Technician (EW). Requires a security clearance and very classified... (the symbol for EW below) <center>[IMG]http://www.cyrez.org/~hobbes/ew.gif[/IMG]</center> It's a 5 year enlistment (with $7,000 sign on bonus). I'm gonna go for advanced promotion so I'm an E-2 before even bootcamp, skipping E-1, and making $1,239.30 a month. [/QB][/QUOTE]
