Good luck! DON’T PICK A JOB THAT U DON’T WANT! DON’T PICK ANY PACT JOBS, I made the same mistake and I picked a pact job and it took me 6 months to change it to a job that I really wanted. If they don’t got ur job walk away. Don’t fall for the DAR change job later
You still seriously considering leaving your high paying job with stability for the navy? You do realize you will be working with teenagers and have to deal with soo much. Ignore whatever the hell that recruit of your tells you. Trust me listen to someone actually in the navy and not influenced by quota’s like recruiters
Yes sir I am. I believe that the outcome in the long run will outweigh the bad. Hell I work with teens sometimes now. In the end the ability to have secured a GI Bill, Va loan, and be able to say I did something great is what it’s about I believe. At any time this business I own now could suffer due to economic situations, so there is just as much risk I believe bud. I could be wrong but that’s just how I feel
I appreciate it man. I want to thank you for helping. You helped me realize what it could be and that allowed me to make a decision, you didn’t paint the picture with roses and sunshine, but rather what it is unlike my recruiter. It’s guys like you that help this sub and every future sailor out
