I've got a friend that is leaving for the Navy in August next year.
His job is going to be Master at Arms. I'm pretty sure his recruiter is full of BS like most recruiters. My friend seems to think he won't be getting deployed. I don't know much about the Navy or the reserves but I would think being Master at Arms he will be deployed soon after he gets out of A-school. |

He has a history degree but GPA too low for OCS.
He also got a 94 on the ASVAB He is getting married in July. This is what he's been told so far. He is trying to get a GS supply job so the recruiter said "your best bet for getting a gov job is to be a cop" Your E-3 BAH will be $1600 a month. (I get E-5 with dependants and its $1000) Your $10,000 sign on bonus will be taxed at 20% (I don't think the IRS would agree with that) You get E-3 as soon as you leave You can apply to be an officer after 6 months and should have no problem getting it If you do get called up its tax free (I thought it was only in the desert) ....and I'm sure there is a lot more |

If he has a degree that last thing he should do is enlist in the military to stare at other guys dicks while drug testing. Of course if your buddy likes that sort of thing, well then he may be happy. |

Try the Guard. |

Fuck that shit, if he's dumb enough to eat up the BS the recruiter is feeding him I don't want him anywhere near combat troops, especially in an officer position where you can get better men killed just by hesitating. He should be so lucky as to stare down cock for the next several years...with stupidity like that. |

I agree with you 100%. |

Let's see....I'm working in the G-8 shop of the Minnesota National Guard's 34th Infantry Division.
Guess how many Navy Reserve pax are sitting within spitting distance of me right now. (Hint: It's more than 2) He's deploying. If he's lucky he'll be on a boat. If he's not lucky, he might be in the cube next to me. What? He thought they'd be working IN their specialty???
