You should totally join the Air Force and try and get into the SGC.

Shikaru: I considered them all, but it doesn't seem like the other branches offer the same possibilities for travel.

Exactly. Fuck the desert. Spending a year in the 100+ degree weather being shot at or blown up by IEDs ... no thanks. Stay on a ship, in the air conditioning, sleeping on a bed, taking a shower every day ...

...getting real close to your sailor buddy and thanking Neptune for making such comfortable short-shorts .
Just joking, big props to my Navy guys. But it's the damn truth; the Navy does treat their guys a lot better than other branches *cough*ArmyandMarines*cough*

Food on a sub is supposed to be the best in the service. I've heard there is a lot of promisquity onboard aircraft carriers (yes, they have female sailors onboard).

I once spent a solid week in a two-room studio apartment without even opening the blinds. Wonder if that's what being on a sub crew is like?

Since when did promiscuity aboard Naval vessels require the presence of females?

I dont think it's required, just available for the first time in naval history.

Quick update; the recruiter says my sleep apnea will probably disqualify me but that there might be something that can be done to allow me to enlist. I've got an appointment with him Thursday so we'll see how that goes. I have to re-take the ASVAB but if I get the same score as I got in high school, he says I can pretty much pick whatever I want to do, up to and including nuclear engineering. So that's heartening, anyway
Thanks for all the info guys; it's been helpful in making the decision. I just hope that after deciding to go for it, I don't end up being disqualified.

There are worse things than Navy, I am sure, but can't name them off right now.
If you want to see the world, and the world is about 70% covered by water, I suppose it is the way to go though.
Good luck Dan.

Y'know, I just realized that we've gone two whole pages without anyone making an "In the Navy" joke.
