The military's what you make of it. If you wanna do your 4 and bounce to go to college, that's okay. If you wanna do 20 and collect retirement in your late 30s-early 40s, that's okay too. You just gotta have goals. I did a lot of mindless cleaning even as an E-5, a lot of it I volunteered for in order to give other guys in my division who were gonna re-up a fighting chance at a good eval and new rank. Some people might think I'm a shitbag for it, but I didn't want to get out of the Navy taking away a good eval while others who were staying in would miss out on. It is what it is, and I've been out for nearly 2 years now so I don't care anymore. But I am glad to see people who were 3rd classes coming into my division make 1st class these past couple of cycles!
Yeah, the military sets you up to be successful, If you don't come out with at least an associates after 4 years when it's being paid for, then your doing it wrong. I hate the army but I'm not going to complain because that's just how it goes.
I did 3 west pacs, I did some shitty jobs. I did them professionally and with pride. I look back on my service with zero regrets 🇺🇸I served ⚓️and it's paid off big time !
Yo JT. You often speak truth beyond your years. A direct result of your military experience. I see so many "kids" graduating college and starting a career that want the top level "cool" engineering work. They whimper and cry because they get the "menial" engineering assignments. No appreciation for having to pay their dues. Wish I had 6-8 JT's in my group. Go slay it bro!
I am an aquatic chemist and a Navy reservist and a few new guys at my firm are salty that they are making only $50K as an engineer. Like you said there are levels and they haven't gotten quals to justify a 6 figure payday. I went to college to get a masters which started me out at $80K but I now make $107K but waited 4 year. Nothing is given.
You are a very wise young man and in every sector in life jobs that are not glamorous must be done. Been there done it but with that lessons are learned too.
Hey JT I'm 17 and you inspired me to join the Navy. my parents signed my papers and I'm On my way to meps sometime this week. I'm hoping to get HM and go FMF and all because you inspired me man.
When I reported on my ship, it was me and 3 new Booters, and we was assigned to 1st Div/Deck Div. Chief's (later Senior Chief) first words was "Before you are Boatswain's Mates. We know the shit. You will be treated like crap. You will earn the respect, in where you work and how you work. Now turn two." Then we was paired off, with a Boats. The one I paired up with, was a great mentor and shipmate. Taught me the ins and outs as a Boatswain's Mate. I studied everything I could, and when I could. I studied the ship, small boats, security, fire fighting. Next thing I know, he handed me the books to study to become a Boatswain's Mate, while I was an E-1. He even went as far, in getting a pair of patches for inspiration - BM E-3. When I became an E-2, he handed me a blank test, and it took me a week to do it. The ship came first. But I passed it, and I think he was more excited. LOL. Hell, both Senior Chief and the BM, went as far, as speaking to both the Captain and Admiral, to request I was able to wear the patch early, as an E-2. But I wasn't able to patch up, cause of a shit bag of a blue falcon, blew up on me, when Senior Chief called me "Boats". Started his "drama card" BS, and I was kicked out. But since my record was clean, I was given an Honorable Discharge on my DD-214. Those anchors hurt like hell, after 8 BMs and 2 Officiers
I may be shipping out for the Coast Guard but your attitude and positivity gives me much motivation! Check off the boxes and progress daily, love it and love the channel Fam! ❤️
@@randalperdue1730 I am stationed in Bahrain and the Coast Guard is far from soft. Their bootcamp is more difficult than the Navy's. They are not pussies and they help the MAA HPUs in the Arabian Gulf. They are just as legit as the other 4 branches so stop with your ignorance.
I joined the navy to follow my grandfather's footsteps. He was a man that led a great family when he was alive. After his service he worked hard nights stripping and waxing floors to put food on the family table, and always returned with a smile and a few lessons to teach. My idea of the navy is a family, a commitment to this country that less than 1% has the privilege of serving even if it means stripping and waxing floors. It is a sacrifice, it is a service, and above all it is a privilege. Remember that fellow sailors.
I feel both sides of this, I'm only 5 months out of Boot Camp, still at A-School and very new to the Navy. I've only seen RTC and this base, so far I feel like I'm being treated like a child not a US Navy Sailor, in 14 days when I finally Graduate A-School, and go to my first command I'll be able to start seeing the real Navy.
You are going to have to prove yourself. In school and especially when you get to your first command. You're the nub and green as hell. School is school, but when you get to the fleet, it gets real. People's lives are at stake. I served on an SSBN sub and it's a serious business staying alive and doing your job(s) every second of the day. Since your post was a year ago, you undoubtedly know what I mean now. LOL
Great points for those just entering the Navy. Be proactive and keep checking off those boxes. Grunt work? I had heard a lot about doing just those kinds of regular Navy janitorial jobs in boot camp, especially as undesignated. Chipping/painting while hanging off the side of a ship on a wooden plank and two ropes. NO WAY! In boot camp I learned that I could volunteer for submarine duty. That was my ticket out of the regular Navy so to speak. Since I was stuck for 4 years, I just wanted to do something cool. Got orders to sub school, then lucked into 8 more weeks in San Diego for SK (Storekeeper) school. I volunteered for that too incidentally. Then off to an SSBN sub in Scotland. Being the green nub, I immediately started mess cooking duties and was handed a qualification card and told to study the various systems on the "Boat". You can sleep somewhere in between time. I only had to mess cook that first patrol since one of the storekeepers was leaving the Navy and I would be replacing him. My next patrol I qualified on the diving planes and earned my Dolphins. Later in my time on the boat, I got bored of the diving planes and went to school for Sonar and stood Sonar watches. Sonar is an acronym - anyone know what it stands for? Enjoy your adventure at this time in your life while you're young!
To be honest i really love the Boatwains mates job.To be honest i dont know why people complain about chipping,painting and janitorial work....Its....your home man.You live in it and u might die in it...Its where stories and memories are made out of. Currently im trying to work on my physique,ASVAB and rate to join the navy but im really falling in love with Boatwains mates job in general.People complain about it but i feel that u learn so much about being a sailor and its a floating home.I dont get the hate on "proffesional janitorial" work
Zani Puppyrhino me either bro! Hell you make more in the military, still have your benefits, and it’s not the end of the world, it actually sounds fairly easy.
Good video, I think with any branch of service people’s experiences and expectations will vary and it’s up to the individual to either make it harder or easier on themselves as opposed to looking at other people and what they did and expecting the same outcome as them. The less he does that the less disappointed he will become.
Wish I had chosen an A school instead of being an undesignated seaman. I spent a total of 23 months in Deck Dept between 2 ships; USS Semmes DDG 18 and USS Cape Cod AD 43. Finally struck for OS on Cape Cod. I reenlisted after my 4yrs for OS A school. Enjoyed A school as an OS3. Made OS2 on USS Kinkaid DD 965. Went back to OS A school as an instructor in 1989. Made OS1 in 1990. Spent next 13 yrs taking the E7 exam. Another lesson I wished I had learned was to not party and waste my money in the early years of my Navy career. Learned to save for the future and not be in big debt in my mid-40s to present day. Should have stayed single too. Now I am 55 years old and have to work full time to pay a mortgage and alimony.
What Made it easy for me is when I decided that I will do 20 years before I even put the uniform on..now I’m in Bremerton processing out as we speak and 2 mos before I officially retire..no regrets whatsoever, when my goals were already made up from the get go.
As an ST they wanted you qualified so it wasn't so bad. You had a job to do. Everybody has to mess crank or junior sailors get volunteered to do certain tasks like painting or diving through wet garbage to recycle glass cans and plastics, that was lots of fun. We also got to paint one side of the soap box superstructure on an FFG from the weather deck to the o2 level. Chip and paint magazines or DCPO. Coop cleaner is a given. Roving security watch.
Graduated high school June ‘89 was in boot camp by July. While my friends were getting arrested and fooling with drugs I: finished boot camp, MM A-school, Nuclear power school, Emergency welder school, went to subs, vacationed in Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, Guam and Hawaii. became ships diver, and left the Navy with 10K cash, a car (paid) and the GI bill that helped pay for a degree in chemistry all in five years. I always thought I gave more to the Navy but in reality I gained so much more, some long grueling weeks for sure but those are long forgotten.
Man, I work at an airport as an A&P Mechanic with like 90% veterans averaging 10 hours a day, 12 hours on late frames. I'm under no illusions in regards to what my contract is gonna be.
I saw what navy boot camp was all about last night on a youtube video. Then I immediately watched a Marine Corps boot camp video after that. Two different worlds. I never thought the training I received in USMC boot camp would be so different from the Navy.
The Navy is like o other job in the world, you either love it or hate it. After basic training and joining your first ship, you start at the bottom, and have to first gain respect of your shipmates, then divisional chiefs and officers. before they will permit a green horn to do anything technical. It gets better once you work your way up the promotional ladder. well it was for me i served for 14 years in the Royal Navy, but did come into contact with the US and Canadian Navies in my time. and served as a marine engineer mostly on minesweepers and hunters undertaking mine clearance operations from iceland to the eastern mediterannean. i trained in mayn things in the navy from engineering to diving, and still look back on it with pride and honoured to have served. its what you make of it really. hope it helps, former RN marine engineer petty officer 1979 to 1993.
Jt gives good advice. I wish I had youtube before I joined. I was in 93 to 97. my advice to everyone is: 1) watch his videos; 2) do anything you can to get rank before bootcamp like JRotc ask your recruiter; 3) take your job seriously, study, and get qualified for everything you can (I stopped studying after I made 3rd because I thought I was shit hot. Wrong mindset). I was an undesignated fireman when I joined, and I was a 3rd class Signalman (now QM) when I got out.
Jt!!! I issue you a challenge!! Next video, when you say "Brand new video" you must roll the "R" in bring for at least 10 seconds. If you cant, just show that you attempted it.
2:06 YESSSSSS SOUNDGARDEN!!!!! I LOVE THEM. I LOVE CHRIS CORNELL!!!!!!!!!!!! Rest in peach Chris we miss you. I live grunge btw. Black hole sun is the song.
I'm a retired Navy. My first four years kind was hard on me. I was a Ph striker.. I came in the Navy as a seaman recruit. My first Duty I was assigned to deck Department USS Haleakala AE 25. I was kind of disappointed because they did have a Photolab on the ship. I took some courses in photography. I one some photo contest. I put two years on deck department. I made sea apprentice and then made seaman. I change my rate to. Airman. I guest the CO like me. He recommended me for E4 exam. I Took the exam . That year I cut a high enough score to get Ph3. They had a transfer me off the ship because I didn't have a Billet . My second Duty station was the island of Bermuda. . Because I wasn't A school grad. My chief petty officer send me to Key West Florida for a B School. My NEC was 8133. I have to process all the film from the P3 squadrons on the base. I fell in love girl that did not feal the same. When I left I did not say good bye to her. I just left. I Relisted and they sent me the VF-211 Miramar California. I work Tarps. . Where I made second class petty officer. They sent me to another B school. I like it because of the people I work with. I was on 5 aircraft carriers it was kind of fun working on F14 Tom cat. . I made first class petty officer. The Navy is what you make out of it. There are some good people in the Navy and there's some bad people in the Navy but remember it's always what you make out of it.. I would still do it again. I have no regret.
Hey jt keep up the Vids man you been helping me alot an really maken me think about the choice on staying here with my son or join to make a better life for my son. Would love some advice lmk
It took me almost 7 years from the time I went back to college until I graduated. I went back to school Fall of 2004 and graduated May 14, 2011. I changed my major though and I'm only 15 classes from getting my 2nd Bachelors degree. And one year I took only a handful of classes that school year. but nothing was ever going to keep me from graduating. I would go to graduation specifically to tell myself that, "One day that is going to be me sitting here graduating, it might not be this year, or next year or the year after next, but oner year I'm going to graduate, and May 14, 2011 it was". I didn't care that I was almost 8 years older then the school president himself or that was 4 years old3r to the day older then one of my professors either. nothing was going to stop me from graduating one day. I had to take a different class 3 times to fulfill one requirement. I had to take intermediate algebra 2 times to just pass the class. I was in my 40's and living with my parents in their basement. There are many times I should have given up trying to graduate and justt get the best job and get on with my life. But nothingn was ever going to get me to give up and quit trying to graduate, sometimes I took a break from taking a fullload of classes, but that didn't stop me from working towards graduating. The Fall of 2010 I only had 1 class and worked part time and was in the school play, that's all i had to do. that was the only class I needed to graduate too. So you think that with only one class that passing and then graduating would be no problem wouldn't you? You would think so yes, but I didn't, I had only one class and I still failed it. But it was a blessing because i went to North Dakota State university the Spring of 2011 and took the one class and a few others for the fun of it and had a great time at a school much larger then the school I was going to. The schhol I had been going to had about 1,300 students. Or less then. NDSU had a out 14,000 students when I went there so it was a big jump to go from about 1,000 students to almost 15,000 students. And I wanted to know what it was like to go to a much larger school. I loved it. It was awsome.
Don't pick supply rates cause they usually don't carry over into the civilian world very well unless your planning on becoming a merchant marine or a manager at a store or warehouse, given that you atleast got out an E-5, pick an aviation rate such as AM or which ever rate that has to do with the maintenance of an aircraft.
Not too sure about AO since that’s dealing with ordinance but having a rate that has to do with the upkeep and maintenance from working on avionics to replacing an aileron all that experience is gonna be really valuable if you decide to get out, for example if you wanna get a job working the flight line for the new f-35 at Northrop Grumman or Lockheed Martin having that experience will put you above other candidates applying for that same job especially since you’ll be a veteran with experience on military aircraft and also they won’t require you to have an A&P license since it’s not a civilian aircraft.
#askJT Hey man, a few weeks ago I took a trip to visit a good friend at camp pendleton. I noticed some of the marines there would wake up at the ass crack of dawn to play football. I think he said they can play football in replacement of some physical training time? I'm leaving to bootcamp in december and was wondering if afterwards when im stationed somewhere if this is true and what kind of training options they have. I remember you made a video where you talked about how you got to swim a lot and I know the ships usually have gyms on them. How extensive are the activities offered there? I know it's a bit of a long shot, but I've always been interested in taking up boxing. Would I be able to do that during my time in the service?
Bottom line, YOU get what YOU make out of your enlistment. MCRD ain't as easy as you'd think. If you're not a team-player you're headed into the greatest cluster-fuck imaginable. If you can't take direction even at the most menial tasks, you're fucked. The company will pay for YOUR fuck ups. Can't make your rack or tie a fucking knot, how the fuck do you expect to be responsible for the man in front, beside, above, below or behind you? As a Marine you WILL be responsible for others. They fuck up, YOU pay. You fuck up THEY pay. Take a good look at the film, "Full Metal Jacket", the boot camp scenes. You'll get an idea of how the littlest shit can fuck up a whole lotta people. Attention to detail is everything. So if you can't properly clean a shitter, lace a boot, fold a towel, roll a pair of socks, make your rack, the way THEY (not you) want it, give it up and join the Air-Farce! There is NO room for error in the Corps. It's backwoods Grunt life, tough and dirty. All Marines are Riflemen FIRST. There's your way, the right way, the wrong way and there's the Marine way. The Marine way rules. All decisions will be made for you, Mommy and Daddy are out, your girlfriend WILL find some other dude too. So take it in the ass like an inmate. All are out the fucking door once you arrive at MCRD. You start a new life. Better not fuck it up! You'll meet some of the smartest and dumbest folks ever to walk the Earth. Are you willing to accept the latter ordering you around? You had better or join the Girl Scouts! You will belong to the Corps until the day you get discharged. The Corps' boot camp will even decide what color your fucking turds are and when you get to speak. They will even decide what words you get to use. The Marine way is king! They wake up at Ass-crack dark-thirty so that they can have their private time among themselves, release stress, etc. THEIR time. Bottom line, there are NO shortcuts in the Marine Corps. NONE!!
Yeah I'm an AM just like JT (been in for 2 years now.) And it's pretty much set up that I won't deploy. Completely different experience from him. But I'm not salty, I'm going into the Washington guard as an infantryman.
LOL! My one year USN anniversary, 11AUG98 we pulled into Yokosuka, Japan. I was finally in the AWSEP shop after 3 months TAD to CPO mess. I was sent to save our billet there because a shitbag went before me & they sent him back.... Few months later my 1st port call in Korea, then it was on! 😀
I literally read all these comments cause I am about to join soon. After reading all these comments I’ve narrowed it down to the best 6 jobs that I liked to my preference. With that being said all these comments are from 4 years ago or more, makes me wonder how all these people are doing in the Navy.
Seems like to me most people complain about the Navy because of the "grunt work" aka things you'll have to do around your own house anyway. What makes you so great where you don't have to do any of that? Exactly. If grunt work is beneath you maybe you shouldn't join and do something else.
I made e-5 in the army in three and a half years and the same higher ups that told me it'll get better are the ones telling me to go do the same bullshit the soldiers are doing.
Hey JT love your videos man. I'm shipping out to bootcamp on September 20th, STG and I'm actually really trying to go for STA-21 and possibly the Naval Academy because I'd like to be an officer. I understand it's hard work for sure but I'd love your input.
This is why I am glad I did not join the Navy. The Army is different because after AIT you go to your Unit and begin doing the job you were trained to do. Yes there are details like pulling weeds and mowing laws but that is for Fuck ups in lieu of getting an Article 15. All Privates have to sweep, mop and maintain the Barracks. All Privates do early morning Police Call picking up trash off the lawn but that only last for maybe 30 minutes. In Combat Arms my time was spent in the Motor Pool doing maintenance on the Tank I was assigned to. The Army is different because we constantly went to the field on maneuvers or to Tank Gunnery. The Army I made E-2 Automatic after 6 months in. At 10 months I was an E-3. At 16 months an E-4. At 28 months a E-5 and st 72 months an E-6. There was test to study for except to appear in front of the E-5 and then E-6 Promotion Boards. Promotion to E-3 and E-4 came from the Company Commander at the recommendation of the First Sergeant. Have your shot together and you get promoted. At 9 years in I was to be promoted to E-7 but I chose to ETS and not reenlist. O was on Recruoting Duty and the E-7 Stripes meant I had to reenlist and convert to being a MOS Recruiter and not be a Tanker anymore. Recruiting is initially a 3 year assignment like being a Drill Instructor. After 2 year on Recruiting Duty the pressure was on to convert to the Recruiter MOS and they dangle the E-7 Stripes as bait. I know of and E-6 who took the bait but did not get promoted to E-7. Now he was fucked being a Recruiter because he converted. Several years on he was QMP Out. He had 19 years in, served in Nam and got the boot out. That shit happens. It is known as the RIFF where NCO's get booted out before retirement. Staying in a Combat Arms MOS was the safest place because you are the first in and last out. It is the reason why I chose to ETS and say screw the E-7 Stripes. With the Army, choosing a Combat Arms MOS meant PROMOTIONS. Non Combat Arms MOS means taking a long time to make E-5 and forever to make E-6 be ause the cut off scores required were always 998 out of a possible 1000 and reaching 998 was impossible. You might make it to 975 or even 980 but 998, no way. Combat Armys all I need was 450 to make E-5 and 650 to make E-6. All I needs was the Time in Service and the Time in Grade requirements to get Promoted. The Navy it is difficult and a New Recruit will do shut jobs until he gets his E-3 Stripes and them does the job he was trained to do. The Navy makes New Recruits work as Mess Stewards in the Officers Mess. The Army has only one Mess Hall. Officers and Enlisted stand in line, no pulling rank. All are EQUALS inside the Mess Hall. It is called Unit Cohesion because the Officers need their Men. All eat together in the Army. Even the Grneral sits down with his Troops. I know I had lunch with LTG George S. Patton Jr who was the Son of WW II General Patton. I also had lunch with LTG Julius W. Becton Jr. who was African American and the Corps Commander of VII Corps. Both selected Soldiers to sit down with them at lunch. They asked us questions and listen to what we had to say. That would never happen in the Navy.
@jtsuits I'm prior service going into the navy as an AE can you touch on the likely hood a AE has for special schools I know it mentions a AE can volunteer for aircrew but willing to bet that's bullshit. I've been trying to be like a sponge man all over the Internet trying to learn about the rate
I went through meps with the army. All I need is an eye consultation but I'm thinking of making a switch to the Navy for enlisting or Air Force what do y oui u recommend. I want to do something with computers or electricity
The Navy has plenty of electrical rates. Fire control man. How about mine man. Download some Navy rate training manuals, even older ones might give you a better perspective.
Hey man, nice videos. I'm thinking about joining the navy for information systems. Do you know what some of the grunt work and job atmosphere that position might have? And If I've had some technical training in that field, could I get a contract stating that I will be trained for that job position before boot camp? I'm currently in my second year in college.
Watched a few of you videos.. nice work. Question for ya.. Tatto's have been common for sailors forever I suppose - but it's my understanding the Navy has really restricted them in the last few years. Did you have a problem?
Everyone hates the e-3 and below initial tad most people get. Mine was security asf for 3 months which wasn't too bad but I would have rather been in my shop
I did a lot of TAD. It depends on the needs of the Navy..in fact I spent more time TAD then in my actual department. it all depends on timing, i guess. My first week aboard Nimitz, I went TAD to the Lincoln to get flight deck quals. When I came back I went cranking, made E4, deployed WESTPAC 2003 and was sent TAD to Security. That was weird, because I was security in port, but back in my division when we were underway. We deployed again in 2005 and when we came back I went to deck till I made E5. Then I came back to my division for the remainder of my tour....as divisional DCPO. When I got short, I went to beach det....because the ship went on an extended workup underway and they didn't want to fly me off. All in all, your Navy experience may vary. As long as you remember that the needs of the Navy come first, It wasn't bad...but definitely not what I expected.
Going through ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) means you would commission as an officer (O-1 to O-10). ROTC requires an application to fill out and has a PFT alongside it. It is highly competitive. Going through something such as DEP (Delayed Entry Program) would mean you are enlisting (E-1 to E-9.) During ROTC you are required to take certain ROTC/Navy courses to prepare you for your role as an officer whether it be surface warfare, special warfare etc. Not sure if you knew this or not just thought I'd give the basic info of ROTC :)
100% wrong on the last part. You will be at the mercy of the "Needs of the Navy". If you aren't able to complete the training they will give you a list of rates available to you at the moment, afterwards you will either go to that A-school if it's available. I'm not sure if your ASVAB is calculated into it after you drop from BUDS but I will say that its not an automatic Deck seaman situation.
I want to be an ABE (I know) so I can have the chance to become a safety observer and launch Jets off the catapult once in a while I think it'd be fun but that's me
Hey jp. Being in the navy and doing all the work load would you say there is enough time to do like one class in college? or life is just to busy? for an average student
The military's what you make of it. If you wanna do your 4 and bounce to go to college, that's okay. If you wanna do 20 and collect retirement in your late 30s-early 40s, that's okay too. You just gotta have goals. I did a lot of mindless cleaning even as an E-5, a lot of it I volunteered for in order to give other guys in my division who were gonna re-up a fighting chance at a good eval and new rank. Some people might think I'm a shitbag for it, but I didn't want to get out of the Navy taking away a good eval while others who were staying in would miss out on. It is what it is, and I've been out for nearly 2 years now so I don't care anymore. But I am glad to see people who were 3rd classes coming into my division make 1st class these past couple of cycles!
Yeah, the military sets you up to be successful, If you don't come out with at least an associates after 4 years when it's being paid for, then your doing it wrong. I hate the army but I'm not going to complain because that's just how it goes.
I did 3 west pacs, I did some shitty jobs. I did them professionally and with pride. I look back on my service with zero regrets 🇺🇸I served ⚓️and it's paid off big time !

Yo JT. You often speak truth beyond your years. A direct result of your military experience. I see so many "kids" graduating college and starting a career that want the top level "cool" engineering work. They whimper and cry because they get the "menial" engineering assignments. No appreciation for having to pay their dues. Wish I had 6-8 JT's in my group. Go slay it bro!
4randosutube It's a generational thing, and it's F*in pathetic!
I am an aquatic chemist and a Navy reservist and a few new guys at my firm are salty that they are making only $50K as an engineer. Like you said there are levels and they haven't gotten quals to justify a 6 figure payday. I went to college to get a masters which started me out at $80K but I now make $107K but waited 4 year. Nothing is given.
You are a very wise young man and in every sector in life jobs that are not glamorous must be done. Been there done it but with that lessons are learned too.
Hey JT I'm 17 and you inspired me to join the Navy. my parents signed my papers and I'm On my way to meps sometime this week. I'm hoping to get HM and go FMF and all because you inspired me man.
Luke Shields how did it go ?
@@MindingmyBizzness He went FMF so probably in Iraq lmao
Trevor Nichols Naha , he was seventeen like 2 years ago probably , I’m 17 and going into the service
Trevor Nichols I most likely wanna do MA or probably LS
@@MindingmyBizzness good luck man. I did 5 years and out in 2013. Got too political and too much change in a bad direction.
There's probably an MC out there in the fleet ....making a documentary about sweeping and dancing alone with a mop named molly.
That's a great idea! Maybe I'll look into it lol
When I reported on my ship, it was me and 3 new Booters, and we was assigned to 1st Div/Deck Div. Chief's (later Senior Chief) first words was "Before you are Boatswain's Mates. We know the shit. You will be treated like crap. You will earn the respect, in where you work and how you work. Now turn two."
Then we was paired off, with a Boats. The one I paired up with, was a great mentor and shipmate. Taught me the ins and outs as a Boatswain's Mate. I studied everything I could, and when I could. I studied the ship, small boats, security, fire fighting. Next thing I know, he handed me the books to study to become a Boatswain's Mate, while I was an E-1. He even went as far, in getting a pair of patches for inspiration - BM E-3. When I became an E-2, he handed me a blank test, and it took me a week to do it. The ship came first. But I passed it, and I think he was more excited. LOL. Hell, both Senior Chief and the BM, went as far, as speaking to both the Captain and Admiral, to request I was able to wear the patch early, as an E-2.
But I wasn't able to patch up, cause of a shit bag of a blue falcon, blew up on me, when Senior Chief called me "Boats". Started his "drama card" BS, and I was kicked out. But since my record was clean, I was given an Honorable Discharge on my DD-214.
Those anchors hurt like hell, after 8 BMs and 2 Officiers
I may be shipping out for the Coast Guard but your attitude and positivity gives me much motivation! Check off the boxes and progress daily, love it and love the channel Fam! ❤️
@@randalperdue1730 I am stationed in Bahrain and the Coast Guard is far from soft. Their bootcamp is more difficult than the Navy's. They are not pussies and they help the MAA HPUs in the Arabian Gulf. They are just as legit as the other 4 branches so stop with your ignorance.
You poor, misguided pawn.
I joined the navy to follow my grandfather's footsteps. He was a man that led a great family when he was alive. After his service he worked hard nights stripping and waxing floors to put food on the family table, and always returned with a smile and a few lessons to teach. My idea of the navy is a family, a commitment to this country that less than 1% has the privilege of serving even if it means stripping and waxing floors. It is a sacrifice, it is a service, and above all it is a privilege. Remember that fellow sailors.
Count Pastacreep wow lol... what are the odds, same here.
Count Pastacreep your grandfather sounds like mine, he owns a floor cleaning business and was on the USS Gainard
Count, you are a badass. You keep that mindset and you will be going places along with JT. Thanks for your effort, sacrifices and contributions.
Thanks everyone! My grandfather was on the USS Alabama.
4randosutube, that really means a lot to me. Two navy heroes, my grandfather and JT. I'd love to follow in their footsteps.
Just yoon!!!! Love him. Great person!!!! So glad navy youtubers are collaborating
I feel both sides of this, I'm only 5 months out of Boot Camp, still at A-School and very new to the Navy. I've only seen RTC and this base, so far I feel like I'm being treated like a child not a US Navy Sailor, in 14 days when I finally Graduate A-School, and go to my first command I'll be able to start seeing the real Navy.
Joshua Krystek A school is an extension of bootcamp
Brandon Scales Kinda yeah
HOw is it and when do you get to take vacation ?
I didn't get leave until I was done with all my schooling.
You are going to have to prove yourself. In school and especially when you get to your first command. You're the nub and green as hell. School is school, but when you get to the fleet, it gets real. People's lives are at stake. I served on an SSBN sub and it's a serious business staying alive and doing your job(s) every second of the day. Since your post was a year ago, you undoubtedly know what I mean now. LOL
Great points for those just entering the Navy. Be proactive and keep checking off those boxes. Grunt work? I had heard a lot about doing just those kinds of regular Navy janitorial jobs in boot camp, especially as undesignated. Chipping/painting while hanging off the side of a ship on a wooden plank and two ropes. NO WAY! In boot camp I learned that I could volunteer for submarine duty. That was my ticket out of the regular Navy so to speak. Since I was stuck for 4 years, I just wanted to do something cool. Got orders to sub school, then lucked into 8 more weeks in San Diego for SK (Storekeeper) school. I volunteered for that too incidentally. Then off to an SSBN sub in Scotland.
Being the green nub, I immediately started mess cooking duties and was handed a qualification card and told to study the various systems on the "Boat". You can sleep somewhere in between time. I only had to mess cook that first patrol since one of the storekeepers was leaving the Navy and I would be replacing him. My next patrol I qualified on the diving planes and earned my Dolphins. Later in my time on the boat, I got bored of the diving planes and went to school for Sonar and stood Sonar watches. Sonar is an acronym - anyone know what it stands for? Enjoy your adventure at this time in your life while you're young!
I watch the full length ads for you JT.
Thank you for everything bud fr
To be honest i really love the Boatwains mates job.To be honest i dont know why people complain about chipping,painting and janitorial work....Its....your home man.You live in it and u might die in it...Its where stories and memories are made out of.
Currently im trying to work on my physique,ASVAB and rate to join the navy but im really falling in love with Boatwains mates job in general.People complain about it but i feel that u learn so much about being a sailor and its a floating home.I dont get the hate on "proffesional janitorial" work
Zani Puppyrhino me either bro! Hell you make more in the military, still have your benefits, and it’s not the end of the world, it actually sounds fairly easy.
Good video, I think with any branch of service people’s experiences and expectations will vary and it’s up to the individual to either make it harder or easier on themselves as opposed to looking at other people and what they did and expecting the same outcome as them. The less he does that the less disappointed he will become.
Hand your dealt, How motivated you are, Putting in time. Also remember life is not fair. I'm thinking about joining and that was great advice.
1tac is what you expect it to be ! High quality tactical gear for your tactical gear needs
thank u for being so tacticool
Do yall have a web page?
JTsuits Papa....
Please, papa. Never make that joke again.
Wish I had chosen an A school instead of being an undesignated seaman. I spent a total of 23 months in Deck Dept between 2 ships; USS Semmes DDG 18 and USS Cape Cod AD 43. Finally struck for OS on Cape Cod. I reenlisted after my 4yrs for OS A school. Enjoyed A school as an OS3. Made OS2 on USS Kinkaid DD 965. Went back to OS A school as an instructor in 1989. Made OS1 in 1990. Spent next 13 yrs taking the E7 exam. Another lesson I wished I had learned was to not party and waste my money in the early years of my Navy career. Learned to save for the future and not be in big debt in my mid-40s to present day. Should have stayed single too. Now I am 55 years old and have to work full time to pay a mortgage and alimony.
What Made it easy for me is when I decided that I will do 20 years before I even put the uniform on..now I’m in Bremerton processing out as we speak and 2 mos before I officially retire..no regrets whatsoever, when my goals were already made up from the get go.
As an ST they wanted you qualified so it wasn't so bad. You had a job to do. Everybody has to mess crank or junior sailors get volunteered to do certain tasks like painting or diving through wet garbage to recycle glass cans and plastics, that was lots of fun. We also got to paint one side of the soap box superstructure on an FFG from the weather deck to the o2 level. Chip and paint magazines or DCPO. Coop cleaner is a given. Roving security watch.
Graduated high school June ‘89 was in boot camp by July. While my friends were getting arrested and fooling with drugs I: finished boot camp, MM A-school, Nuclear power school, Emergency welder school, went to subs, vacationed in Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, Guam and Hawaii. became ships diver, and left the Navy with 10K cash, a car (paid) and the GI bill that helped pay for a degree in chemistry all in five years.
I always thought I gave more to the Navy but in reality I gained so much more, some long grueling weeks for sure but those are long forgotten.
YOOOOONNNNNNNNN
Austin Mickelson lol ya man last year
What up my boyyyyy.
JTsuits What the hell Ricegum is in the Navy XD
JTsuits!!!!!!!!!!!! 6:18 she moanedXDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDd
Ayyyeeeee I didn't even know you guys had beef.
thanks for doing this i was a submarine guy, and what you are saying to folks is dead on.
Man, I work at an airport as an A&P Mechanic with like 90% veterans averaging 10 hours a day, 12 hours on late frames. I'm under no illusions in regards to what my contract is gonna be.
I saw what navy boot camp was all about last night on a youtube video. Then I immediately watched a Marine Corps boot camp video after that. Two different worlds. I never thought the training I received in USMC boot camp would be so different from the Navy.
What up fam! #demonitizationsquad for life!!
Leaving on Thursday for bootcamp. They moved it 2 months because they needed a Pact Fireman
JT Haugk-Lemire work through it, man. Undes may suck but you can really set up a good career if you work hard and strike a good rate.
The Navy is like o other job in the world, you either love it or hate it. After basic training and joining your first ship, you start at the bottom, and have to first gain respect of your shipmates, then divisional chiefs and officers. before they will permit a green horn to do anything technical. It gets better once you work your way up the promotional ladder. well it was for me i served for 14 years in the Royal Navy, but did come into contact with the US and Canadian Navies in my time. and served as a marine engineer mostly on minesweepers and hunters undertaking mine clearance operations from iceland to the eastern mediterannean. i trained in mayn things in the navy from engineering to diving, and still look back on it with pride and honoured to have served. its what you make of it really. hope it helps, former RN marine engineer petty officer 1979 to 1993.
You're my hero. By the way, "IT" was great. Can't wait for the second and last part of the movie. Wonder who'll play the adults.
I know it was a remake. I'm just wondering who are going to play the adults because there will be a second part. Just like the original movie.
Jt gives good advice. I wish I had youtube before I joined. I was in 93 to 97. my advice to everyone is: 1) watch his videos; 2) do anything you can to get rank before bootcamp like JRotc ask your recruiter; 3) take your job seriously, study, and get qualified for everything you can (I stopped studying after I made 3rd because I thought I was shit hot. Wrong mindset). I was an undesignated fireman when I joined, and I was a 3rd class Signalman (now QM) when I got out.
Good job making AM2, AM2. Got my EAWS as an AM3 with HSC 3 .
Somebody has to do it. I did when I started out.
So many aircraft washes, and FOD walk downs. Fuel samples, Chocks and chains. LOL

I live grunge btw. Black hole sun is the song.
I'm a retired Navy. My first four years kind was hard on me. I was a Ph striker.. I came in the Navy as a seaman recruit. My first Duty I was assigned to deck Department USS Haleakala AE 25. I was kind of disappointed because they did have a Photolab on the ship. I took some courses in photography. I one some photo contest. I put two years on deck department. I made sea apprentice and then made seaman. I change my rate to. Airman. I guest the CO like me. He recommended me for E4 exam. I Took the exam . That year I cut a high enough score to get Ph3. They had a transfer me off the ship because I didn't have a Billet . My second Duty station was the island of Bermuda. . Because I wasn't A school grad. My chief petty officer send me to Key West Florida for a B School. My NEC was 8133. I have to process all the film from the P3 squadrons on the base. I fell in love girl that did not feal the same. When I left I did not say good bye to her. I just left. I Relisted and they sent me the VF-211 Miramar California. I work Tarps. . Where I made second class petty officer. They sent me to another B school. I like it because of the people I work with. I was on 5 aircraft carriers it was kind of fun working on F14 Tom cat. . I made first class petty officer. The Navy is what you make out of it. There are some good people in the Navy and there's some bad people in the Navy but remember it's always what you make out of it.. I would still do it again. I have no regret.
Good advice!
the fng?
f***ing new guy
Hey jt keep up the Vids man you been helping me alot an really maken me think about the choice on staying here with my son or join to make a better life for my son. Would love some advice lmk
It took me almost 7 years from the time I went back to college until I graduated. I went back to school Fall of 2004 and graduated May 14, 2011. I changed my major though and I'm only 15 classes from getting my 2nd Bachelors degree. And one year I took only a handful of classes that school year. but nothing was ever going to keep me from graduating. I would go to graduation specifically to tell myself that, "One day that is going to be me sitting here graduating, it might not be this year, or next year or the year after next, but oner year I'm going to graduate, and May 14, 2011 it was". I didn't care that I was almost 8 years older then the school president himself or that was 4 years old3r to the day older then one of my professors either. nothing was going to stop me from graduating one day. I had to take a different class 3 times to fulfill one requirement. I had to take intermediate algebra 2 times to just pass the class. I was in my 40's and living with my parents in their basement. There are many times I should have given up trying to graduate and justt get the best job and get on with my life. But nothingn was ever going to get me to give up and quit trying to graduate, sometimes I took a break from taking a fullload of classes, but that didn't stop me from working towards graduating. The Fall of 2010 I only had 1 class and worked part time and was in the school play, that's all i had to do. that was the only class I needed to graduate too. So you think that with only one class that passing and then graduating would be no problem wouldn't you? You would think so yes, but I didn't, I had only one class and I still failed it. But it was a blessing because i went to North Dakota State university the Spring of 2011 and took the one class and a few others for the fun of it and had a great time at a school much larger then the school I was going to. The schhol I had been going to had about 1,300 students. Or less then. NDSU had a out 14,000 students when I went there so it was a big jump to go from about 1,000 students to almost 15,000 students. And I wanted to know what it was like to go to a much larger school. I loved it. It was awsome.
So when do you re-up?
I reupped March 4, 1993. And got out 4 years later March $, 1997.
Don't pick supply rates cause they usually don't carry over into the civilian world very well unless your planning on becoming a merchant marine or a manager at a store or warehouse, given that you atleast got out an E-5, pick an aviation rate such as AM or which ever rate that has to do with the maintenance of an aircraft.
Edmoka Edmoka how about Ao
Edmoka Edmoka since my score wasn’t high enough for Am
Not too sure about AO since that’s dealing with ordinance but having a rate that has to do with the upkeep and maintenance from working on avionics to replacing an aileron all that experience is gonna be really valuable if you decide to get out, for example if you wanna get a job working the flight line for the new f-35 at Northrop Grumman or Lockheed Martin having that experience will put you above other candidates applying for that same job especially since you’ll be a veteran with experience on military aircraft and also they won’t require you to have an A&P license since it’s not a civilian aircraft.
Edmoka Edmoka thanks for this information really helpful glad to be going into the navy and I hope Ao have it good to transfer into the civilian world
No prob
Cowboys on ya head tonight boiii
loooooLLLLLLLLLLLL
not even a chanceeeeee ;)
JTsuits rip he was right, we played like shit
oi lad ya our O line is embarrassing lol ,, at least the defense looked good
Hopefully we play better next week
If your thinking of the navy, go for it! Such an awesome experience.
whaat happens in the navy? i'm skerred
JTSUITS your videos make my day!😎
Glorified Janitorial Work FTW!!!
Hey JT! I was wondering if you had to change your rate in the navy, which one would you choose?
#askJT Hey man, a few weeks ago I took a trip to visit a good friend at camp pendleton. I noticed some of the marines there would wake up at the ass crack of dawn to play football. I think he said they can play football in replacement of some physical training time? I'm leaving to bootcamp in december and was wondering if afterwards when im stationed somewhere if this is true and what kind of training options they have. I remember you made a video where you talked about how you got to swim a lot and I know the ships usually have gyms on them. How extensive are the activities offered there? I know it's a bit of a long shot, but I've always been interested in taking up boxing. Would I be able to do that during my time in the service?
Same
Bottom line, YOU get what YOU make out of your enlistment. MCRD ain't as easy as you'd think. If you're not a team-player you're headed into the greatest cluster-fuck imaginable. If you can't take direction even at the most menial tasks, you're fucked. The company will pay for YOUR fuck ups. Can't make your rack or tie a fucking knot, how the fuck do you expect to be responsible for the man in front, beside, above, below or behind you? As a Marine you WILL be responsible for others. They fuck up, YOU pay. You fuck up THEY pay. Take a good look at the film, "Full Metal Jacket", the boot camp scenes. You'll get an idea of how the littlest shit can fuck up a whole lotta people. Attention to detail is everything. So if you can't properly clean a shitter, lace a boot, fold a towel, roll a pair of socks, make your rack, the way THEY (not you) want it, give it up and join the Air-Farce! There is NO room for error in the Corps. It's backwoods Grunt life, tough and dirty. All Marines are Riflemen FIRST. There's your way, the right way, the wrong way and there's the Marine way. The Marine way rules. All decisions will be made for you, Mommy and Daddy are out, your girlfriend WILL find some other dude too. So take it in the ass like an inmate. All are out the fucking door once you arrive at MCRD. You start a new life. Better not fuck it up! You'll meet some of the smartest and dumbest folks ever to walk the Earth. Are you willing to accept the latter ordering you around? You had better or join the Girl Scouts! You will belong to the Corps until the day you get discharged. The Corps' boot camp will even decide what color your fucking turds are and when you get to speak. They will even decide what words you get to use. The Marine way is king! They wake up at Ass-crack dark-thirty so that they can have their private time among themselves, release stress, etc. THEIR time. Bottom line, there are NO shortcuts in the Marine Corps. NONE!!
Yeah I'm an AM just like JT (been in for 2 years now.) And it's pretty much set up that I won't deploy. Completely different experience from him. But I'm not salty, I'm going into the Washington guard as an infantryman.
LOL! My one year USN anniversary, 11AUG98 we pulled into Yokosuka, Japan. I was finally in the AWSEP shop after 3 months TAD to CPO mess. I was sent to save our billet there because a shitbag went before me & they sent him back.... Few months later my 1st port call in Korea, then it was on! 😀
GMEN and navy squad 👊
I literally read all these comments cause I am about to join soon. After reading all these comments I’ve narrowed it down to the best 6 jobs that I liked to my preference. With that being said all these comments are from 4 years ago or more, makes me wonder how all these people are doing in the Navy.
Ask them maybe they’ll answer ! And Goodluck !
@@jtmnavy thank you
I stopped my workout for this. It looks to be a doozy.
M
"Untreated fairly" lmao
My high school sport activity in 3 years,first year=slave,second year= citizens,last year=king family. It's just Japanese my school/
Seems like to me most people complain about the Navy because of the "grunt work" aka things you'll have to do around your own house anyway. What makes you so great where you don't have to do any of that? Exactly. If grunt work is beneath you maybe you shouldn't join and do something else.
I made e-5 in the army in three and a half years and the same higher ups that told me it'll get better are the ones telling me to go do the same bullshit the soldiers are doing.
Hey JT love your videos man. I'm shipping out to bootcamp on September 20th, STG and I'm actually really trying to go for STA-21 and possibly the Naval Academy because I'd like to be an officer. I understand it's hard work for sure but I'd love your input.
Pretty sure you got your EAWS. Right? How about ESWS?
If anything will teach you life is not fair, it's duty section.
It is expected to do janitorial work. The ship should be clean right?
The more expirienced obviously get more important tasks.
This is why I am glad I did not join the Navy. The Army is different because after AIT you go to your Unit and begin doing the job you were trained to do.
Yes there are details like pulling weeds and mowing laws but that is for Fuck ups in lieu of getting an Article 15.
All Privates have to sweep, mop and maintain the Barracks. All Privates do early morning Police Call picking up trash off the lawn but that only last for maybe 30 minutes.
In Combat Arms my time was spent in the Motor Pool doing maintenance on the Tank I was assigned to.
The Army is different because we constantly went to the field on maneuvers or to Tank Gunnery.
The Army I made E-2 Automatic after 6 months in. At 10 months I was an E-3. At 16 months an E-4. At 28 months a E-5 and st 72 months an E-6.
There was test to study for except to appear in front of the E-5 and then E-6 Promotion Boards. Promotion to E-3 and E-4 came from the Company Commander at the recommendation of the First Sergeant. Have your shot together and you get promoted.
At 9 years in I was to be promoted to E-7 but I chose to ETS and not reenlist. O was on Recruoting Duty and the E-7 Stripes meant I had to reenlist and convert to being a MOS Recruiter and not be a Tanker anymore. Recruiting is initially a 3 year assignment like being a Drill Instructor. After 2 year on Recruiting Duty the pressure was on to convert to the Recruiter MOS and they dangle the E-7 Stripes as bait. I know of and E-6 who took the bait but did not get promoted to E-7. Now he was fucked being a Recruiter because he converted. Several years on he was QMP Out. He had 19 years in, served in Nam and got the boot out.
That shit happens. It is known as the RIFF where NCO's get booted out before retirement. Staying in a Combat Arms MOS was the safest place because you are the first in and last out. It is the reason why I chose to ETS and say screw the E-7 Stripes.
With the Army, choosing a Combat Arms MOS meant PROMOTIONS. Non Combat Arms MOS means taking a long time to make E-5 and forever to make E-6 be ause the cut off scores required were always 998 out of a possible 1000 and reaching 998 was impossible. You might make it to 975 or even 980 but 998, no way.
Combat Armys all I need was 450 to make E-5 and 650 to make E-6. All I needs was the Time in Service and the Time in Grade requirements to get Promoted.
The Navy it is difficult and a New Recruit will do shut jobs until he gets his E-3 Stripes and them does the job he was trained to do. The Navy makes New Recruits work as Mess Stewards in the Officers Mess. The Army has only one Mess Hall. Officers and Enlisted stand in line, no pulling rank. All are EQUALS inside the Mess Hall. It is called Unit Cohesion because the Officers need their Men. All eat together in the Army. Even the Grneral sits down with his Troops. I know I had lunch with LTG George S. Patton Jr who was the Son of WW II General Patton. I also had lunch with LTG Julius W. Becton Jr. who was African American and the Corps Commander of VII Corps. Both selected Soldiers to sit down with them at lunch. They asked us questions and listen to what we had to say. That would never happen in the Navy.
Benson.... is that you...?
JT, can you do EOD someday?
@jtsuits I'm prior service going into the navy as an AE can you touch on the likely hood a AE has for special schools I know it mentions a AE can volunteer for aircrew but willing to bet that's bullshit. I've been trying to be like a sponge man all over the Internet trying to learn about the rate
JTsuits weren't u wearing that T-shirt yesterday?
Oh my lord, dude sounds like Christopher Walken
I went through meps with the army. All I need is an eye consultation but I'm thinking of making a switch to the Navy for enlisting or Air Force what do y oui u recommend. I want to do something with computers or electricity
The Navy has plenty of electrical rates. Fire control man. How about mine man. Download some Navy rate training manuals, even older ones might give you a better perspective.
Easter Egg at 6:18 , Mrs. Suits LOL
LETS GO G MEN BABY FIRST GAME TN
Hey man, nice videos. I'm thinking about joining the navy for information systems. Do you know what some of the grunt work and job atmosphere that position might have? And If I've had some technical training in that field, could I get a contract stating that I will be trained for that job position before boot camp? I'm currently in my second year in college.
Watched a few of you videos.. nice work. Question for ya.. Tatto's have been common for sailors forever I suppose - but it's my understanding the Navy has really restricted them in the last few years. Did you have a problem?
What's a good naval officer RUclips channel?
I am Persuaded!
Everyone hates the e-3 and below initial tad most people get. Mine was security asf for 3 months which wasn't too bad but I would have rather been in my shop
Yeah try going TAD to the mess decks cranking bud
I did a lot of TAD. It depends on the needs of the Navy..in fact I spent more time TAD then in my actual department. it all depends on timing, i guess. My first week aboard Nimitz, I went TAD to the Lincoln to get flight deck quals. When I came back I went cranking, made E4, deployed WESTPAC 2003 and was sent TAD to Security.
That was weird, because I was security in port, but back in my division when we were underway. We deployed again in 2005 and when we came back I went to deck till I made E5. Then I came back to my division for the remainder of my tour....as divisional DCPO.
When I got short, I went to beach det....because the ship went on an extended workup underway and they didn't want to fly me off.
All in all, your Navy experience may vary. As long as you remember that the needs of the Navy come first, It wasn't bad...but definitely not what I expected.
4 years on a tin can GO NAVY FTG
Yo jt make a video on the coast guard any topic on it please!
junior cruz try coast guard Chris channel
Michael Sangirardi yea true but I feel cgChris channel is now mostly on traveling. It would be sick to see jt on the topic of coast guard
The end is what I came for
Just signed as an OS. Did you know any Fellow OS and or could tell what their lifestyle was like , duties, responsibility?
check out my old Military life before and after episodes ,,, episodes like 1-10 ,,, i have a OS in there that talks about it a little
Zach Barone you'll be on holds for a good while after bootcamp !
What do you mean by holds? Are you an OS too, Frankie Lopez?
I’m about to go underway on a DDG do you have any tips?
You have to wonder... if the crew of the FITZGERALD had done maybe, 25% less "cleaning" and 25% *more* training, what would have happened?
I got a 63 in the asvab. Do think ill have a good pick of job? Im trying to do personnel specialist or mass media specialist
Damn Unsat Recruits get sent to DSIT, IT, Mini-Mo and Full-Mo then Recycled
JT can you rebuild the jet engine blindfolded? Just kidding
Who does that work when you're out at sea
What are your thoughts on ROTC? Do you think it's better joining with that help, or on your own?
Going through ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) means you would commission as an officer (O-1 to O-10). ROTC requires an application to fill out and has a PFT alongside it. It is highly competitive. Going through something such as DEP (Delayed Entry Program) would mean you are enlisting (E-1 to E-9.) During ROTC you are required to take certain ROTC/Navy courses to prepare you for your role as an officer whether it be surface warfare, special warfare etc. Not sure if you knew this or not just thought I'd give the basic info of ROTC :)
That's what happens when your e-3 and below, you gotta work your way up. Do people really think the environment is going to clean itself?
why did you get out of the navy since you seem to be infatuated with it still
Do I have to go through the Navy boot camp b4 I can go to BUDS for the seals ?
King Kyell dammmmmmm right you do, and if you fail buds you will be painting the ship everyday working for deck department
100% wrong on the last part. You will be at the mercy of the "Needs of the Navy". If you aren't able to complete the training they will give you a list of rates available to you at the moment, afterwards you will either go to that A-school if it's available. I'm not sure if your ASVAB is calculated into it after you drop from BUDS but I will say that its not an automatic Deck seaman situation.
Go Giants!!!
Should've done his research before MEPS & chosen AG
2:05 PAPA
I want to be an ABE (I know) so I can have the chance to become a safety observer and launch Jets off the catapult once in a while I think it'd be fun but that's me
Cody Jimenez def fun up on the flight deck ,,, keep ya head on a swivel fam
Hey jp. Being in the navy and doing all the work load would you say there is enough time to do like one class in college? or life is just to busy? for an average student
It depends on how little sleep you can function on.
Goat
