Typical aptitude question...a ball is in the center of the bed of a pickup truck. The truck turns right. What is the initial direction the ball will roll? This is in the physics section of the one i took many moons ago.
Most important questions: Ask the recruiter for the contact information for the training command, so you can call and speak to low level sailors about your rate and Navy life. Their phones are almost ALWAYS manned by junior personnel. If the recruiter denies this information to you it's because they're trying to keep something from you. The contact information can be readily found on the internet. Also ask them for the contact info for a possible duty station and again speak with the junior that answers the phone. Navy life can be difficult and there isn't much room for personal rights. Medical can be hugely incompetent at times. And sailors are routinely encouraged to 'rat' each other out even if a person wasn't involved. You also will be working 18 Hours a day normally (whether out at sea or not) and cleaning and standing watch are a way of life as well. Remember: once you're in, they own you....
I'm 17, and about to go into my senior year in high school. WHEN should I go into the recruiting office to sign my contract? I already know exactly what I want to do. Should I wait until like the 3rd quarter of my senior year? Or as soon as I can? Someone help I can't find the answer anywhere
Or you can sign up at the tail end of your senior year and they can set your ship date after graduation. They did it to a few kid's I know as soon as they got their highschool diploma's they we're gonna be headed straight to bootcamp
Please keep in mind if you have not already that you need to take the asvab if it is available first. Remember that specific jobs are not guaranteed. Once your parents sign the contract and you ensure that you are DRUG FREE!! and all other documentation is completed you will go to what is called MEPS to complete your physicals.
No it's just that the aptitude test is obviously to gauge your aptitude in certain fields. Studying gives a false impression of your strengths and weaknesses.
America's Navy I almost joined but they think I'm diseased or something because I was born as an XY chrmosome female. Opening my medical records in an attempt for a waiver only made things worse. Wasted nearly 10 months of my life in the pursuit of getting permission to enlist, but was still disqualified. I wrote to my congressman for an investigation on my behalf and the Dept of the Navy still couldn't explain how I am not suitable for military service. Insulting and really disheartening.
Lavelle Well I mean. It is scientifically and medically proven that those who don’t believe that they are the gender who they actually are, actually do have some sort of mental problem..... so.... yeah....
I went to a recruiter to talk about navy and how everything works. Instead he nags me to take the asvab without having to study. What the hell, he's so rude and unprofessional
+America's Navy the Filipino Recruiter was unprofessional when it comes me asking questions about the navy. All I want is to get informations about the navy but all he wants is me to take the test which I wasn't ready. He was annoyed that I couldn't go. He asked me why do I want to join, I replied because I want to serve the country and to HELP my family especially my MOM. He replied, that's not good enough. He was unprofessional and offended me. Mira Mesa Navy recruiting officers are horrible. I shall Notify this to the heads up.
The recruiter I spoke to was really rude and unprofessional as well. Even gave me false information, said I needed a college degree to qualify for the Naval Academy.
This was completely useless to me. I want to join the navy just to get a SEAL contract. I have no interest in anything else. I'll die in BUDs training before getting put on a ship for dropping. lol
Studying for the ASVAB is like studying for an IQ test.
😂😂😂😂
I talked to a SEAL motivator last month. Great guy!

With parental consent you can go when you are 17 if you want
Or you can sign up at the tail end of your senior year and they can set your ship date after graduation. They did it to a few kid's I know as soon as they got their highschool diploma's they we're gonna be headed straight to bootcamp

When meeting with a recruiter, do you have to address them as sir/ma'm?
+Anthony Nguyen No, you do not have to, but you can.
The Joker I think u can but you might have to request a waiver
The Joker ok nice
You are correct sir.

They don't take transgender's. They cost the military too much in medical.
i think u can help me joint the US navy
yes
yes
And from what I'm seeing and hearing, only believe half of what your recruiter tells you.. Research, research, research. It's not the 60's anymore.

Jesus Rosales that's why you're not in and will never get in. Open yourself to other opportunities and you just might find yourself a Navy career.
