It's not that bad at all. I just graduated boot a few months ago. I'm at A school now. I think your A school should be relatively short. Get ready for the long dry cock of the navy bruh. Try and get in a 900 division bc you'll get a chance to leave base and only have to do one drill inspection.

Hey thanks for the reply. At bootcamp, I feel like I can do the PR and do fine with following orders, but what I'm worried most is the swimming test. I'm not the best swimmer, and I can vaguely float. I feel like I have to tell them i can't swim so I won't embarass myself on the swimming test.

Also, do they finally allow us to grow back our hair at A school? (I know theyre going to shave me off).

What are you going to do, exactly? It's not possible to enlist as a pilot in the Navy, is it?

Make copies of ALLLLLL of your paperwork and save it forever.
The military LOVES contracting the dumbest motherfuckers on earth to do their record keeping.
I was killed on paper twice.
Coming back from the dead is fucking hard!

Also, it doesn't matter what MOS you picked, you will be chipping paint for your first tour. The Navy doesn't let you do your job until you re-enlist.

Aviation Maintenance Adminstration

Are you saying I'm not going to do my "job" right after A-school?

Dunno how the flightline is over in the Navy side, but I'm currently in the AF and do Flight line Maintenance on figher acft.

It fucking sucks.

If you don't get your swim quals you won't graduate bootcamp. They will make you jump off a 10 foot concrete ledge straight down. Swim to your right and you can choose to do a backstroke, Frog Swim, or the regular swim shit just make sure you keep your head under the water and do it properly. If you fail your swim quals (which is extremely hard to do) you'll have to go there every day and wake up for early chow and do that shit while your division goes and does other training which you'll have to complete eventually. So just make sure to pass.
Also no you gotta keep your hair in regulations after boot, not completely shaven but not longer than 2 inches and no taller than 2 inches with a fade so it's off of your neck line and trimmed off your ears.

NOPE.
You will scrub decks, chip, and paint if you are on a ship.
You will mow lawns and sweep parking lots if you are on shore duty.

Don't worry, that 2 years will FLY by.If you are lucky you will get to watch some contractor do your job. He gets paid $150 an hour while you are paid $0.74 an hour.

Once you re-enlist for another 2 years you will be bumped in rank and thrown into your job which you haven't done in 2 years. Then your performance reviews will hold your rank back. By the time you don't suck at your job it will be time to re-enlist again.
The NAVY has a plan young man. That plan is to suck you in forever.

Have fun.

Aviation people seem to really like it. Boot camp is a joke. It's mostly making sure you fold shit correctly. It's not physically intensive and they have pussy cards for you fags to use when your pussy is hurting. It's mostly making and remaking your bed.

r u going to fly the planes?

People on 4chins will make fun of you and call you "welfare queen", but really they're just butthurt that you're doing something with your life while they sit at home and shitpost all the livelong day.

Also, as a former Air Force fag, I find that the Navy have the hottest women and the hottest uniforms.

I'm only planning on passing the 3rd qual test. Isn't floating, inflating cloths, swimming across the pool a part of that test?

Hahhahaaha now I know their terrible secret bwhahaahahah is it even worth it?

Not OP.
No, NAVY enlisted maintain the planes and run the ground operations. Only officers fly.
The only anomaly is that some Marine (which is a division of the NAVY) enlisted fly. I never really understood that one.

Holy hell. Way different culture than from what I've seen being in the AF.

After the first month after Techschool I was already being shown how to do work around the jet. Everyone here pretty much expects everyone to be somewhat competent at their jobs by their year mark and start training people up.

by everyone I just mean my unit and just strictly related to flightline maintenance on fighters. Don't know too much about heavies culture.

The marine recruiter wasn't lying when he said the navy are full of faggots.

You can get out of it what you want.
If you stew abou how poorly you are treated it will be a miserable experience.
If you work the shitty system and make a career out of it you can pretty much do what you want after 6-8 years.

I was Army, I really didn't have a solid plan going in. I went infantry which really has no civilian equivalent. If you are going Aviation, plan on rolling that into a civilian career. Find what jobs you can get with this training.
AND SAVE ALL OF YOUR FUCKING PAPERWORK!

But he can become an officer and fly plane?>

Just wait til it's your turn in the barrel.

What is a "warrant officer"? I checked Wikipedia one time but didn't really understand it.

The Airforce is DODs favorite.They get all kinds of special treatment. If I had to do it again I would have gone AF.
As Army infantry we were pretty well insulated from the horrors of contracting but I got to watch a light wheel mechanic "supervise(sit in the corner)" a contractor that made 200x what he was making for his deployment.

My buddy that went NAVY got stuck chipping paint instead of the Engineering work he signed up for. He finally went CoastGuard and was a lot happier.

Nah man, I want to do it.

I already finished college, got my Bachelers degree and just want to do the Navy as a form of experience and way to feel better with my life.

I also want to explore the world and not be stuck where I'm at right now. Like I want time to be on my own then just stay at home doing nothing.

Anyway thanks for the advice, I have a better idea of what to expect right now.

The Marine recruiter was right because the Marines are part of the Navy/

If he hits OCS (Officer Candidacy School) and changes his job, yes. But by the time he does that he will be the oldest Lt.JG in his flight school.
It is possible, but unlikely.

A Warrant officer is a rank that sits between officer and enlisted.
These ranks are usually reserver for specialty skills. The most interaction I had with Warrants was Helicopter Pilots in the Army.

Glad I could help.
Final bit of advice.
90% of it will suck. push through that in order to get to the 10% that is awesome.

Warrant officers are rare . Think I've only seen 1 or 2 in person and that was back when I was in a joint base. They aren't a thing in the AF for whatever reason.

Pretty sure us enlisted still have to salute them.

you are probably a troll, Navy is about boat , not planes

the 2nd biggest airforce in the world is the U.S Navy tho.

If you dont pass, you will be waking up earlier than the rest in your div to go swimming with the rest of the niggers who dont know how to swim.

So you have to go to school before even entering the military to become an officer? You can't just be awesome and climb the ranks? Has that ever happened? Like a general who enlisted?

>Pretty sure us enlisted still have to salute them.
uhh...yeah...

Yeah, they are officers, but the kind that can get fired.
If a captain fucks up he is stays a captain until retirement. If a Chief Warrant fucks up, he becomes a civilian.

They aren't all that rare in the Army. A lot of the NBC (nuke bio chem) guys are Warrant and there are more of them now than ever (as it seems to me)

military.com/join-armed-forces/asvab-and-navy-mos-jobs.html

^ look at A

>Like a general who enlisted?
Pershing?

You will be amazed at how man niggers join the Navy as it is a known fact they cant swim

Correct.
The Navy tries to do every other branches job. That is why they have an Army (Marines) and an airforce (Naval air) and why they are always broke.

I went through boot camp in the navy a little under 2 years ago. I went during winter and it fucking sucked. Keep your head down and do what you are told. I don't know where people get the idea of cards you can use if you get too stressed but there is no such thing. Swim quals are easy so don't worry about it. Memorize your general orders and chain of command before you leave and a huge load will be taken off your chest. I went in as a nuke so I am still not in the fleet yet. Don't go nuke. For the love of God don't go nuke.

>A lot of the NBC (nuke bio chem) guys are Warrant
That's what I did. Great mos if you want a job on hazmat team cleaning up pesticides after stoner Orkin guys wreck their trucks.

Is the Navy seen around the other branches as the weakest in the world?

They trust that white engineering, yo.

That's cool. I would have thought that generals could only be hand picked.

Why does everyone say stay away from nuke, please explain?

No. Airforce.

Old timey sailors specifically didn't learn how to swim so that the ocean gods would protect them

Pershing commanded real calvary though, horses and all.

Why air force?

Army fag detected. You know nothing dumdum.

Hope you drown in the helicopter frame roll

Fuck off Hezekiah

>For the love of God don't go nuke.
The reenlistment bonuses are huge and when you retire you can make six figures. Sounds good to me.

VERY Rare.
There are a few routes to becoming an officer. You can do OCS/ROTC (wiki it). You can go to the military academy (college) for you specific branch, or you can go to college on your own, get a degree in something the military needs and get a DOC (Direct officer commission) which is rare.

There are also battlefield commissions. If all of the officers are dead they will grant a commission to a sr enlisted but that is even more rare.

It is Very unlikely that someone traverses the enlisted ranks then the officer ranks all the way to commanding general without a break in service. Doing a few years as enlisted, then going to college and going ROTC is not uncommon but usually if you make it to Staff Sergeant you don't all of a sudden try and become Lieutenant.

4 inches in length 2 inches in bulk. Just like your cock you peasant.

No weapons training no hand to hand with pugil sticks, no 15 mile road marches with sixty five pounds on your back and it's only six weeks. They are pussies. Necessary but pussies.

You got cucked :^)

He basically called you a faggot to your face

>marines are the navy bruh

You got me...
I guess.

Thought about joining the AF. What do ? Anybody else with experience?

Jesus fukin christ, every hour....on the hour... MILITARY !!!. No, your noy joining...you are a liar and a recruiter. Fuck off with you BS. ANYONE who joins the military is an easily led person of low intellegence. For shame that you lead ppl astray to join a death cult. There is no enemys, just a group of globalist goons who have spread out around the world causing trouble. People want to be left in peace, Fuck Off

An enlistment is 4 years. You know very little...

ic

I'm the Op, so please explain to me what to expect because I was thinking the guy I was asking knew stuff, but am not 100 percent sure.

>I was killed on paper twice.
True story, I was in an understaffed MOS, and was sent on a huge field problem before I had finished inprocessing so I didn't get paid for the first three months at Ft Bragg and I was classified AWOL.

Incorrect.
My enlistments were all 2.
Granted things may have changed in the years since I was out but I am giving the best info I have.
Or your recruiter lied to you. Parish the thought.

sounds like this shitbag took forever to get his quals and eswoss

They are fucking gods.

>get a degree in something the military needs and get a DOC
If you enlist and have a college degree you enlist as an officer.

An enlistment is a contract negotiation.
You can ask to enlist for 1 year or 8 if you want. they may say no.

They are going to bring up "bonuses" for 4-6 years enlistments but you will never see those as they are taxed at the highest tax bracket.

What do you get when you send 100 marines off on a boat?

Don't listen to this dipshit. You are going to go to school and then report to your first ship or squadron. You'll probably end up on a CVN, as more AZs needed there than anywhere. You'll most likely do a short stint as a "FSA" meaning washing dishes, serving food etc. and then, after about 90 days of that, be sent to your division. The Navy isn't difficult to succeed in, and if you listen to your leaders, you'll do fine.

Enlist as an officer...?
Not a thing.

Chuck Yeager enlisted and started off as a private and an aircraft mechanic. Rose through the ranks to brigadier general.

Don't join open mechanical or electrical. Might end up working on airplanes like me. Was told I had a high change getting a COMM job because I was open electrical but ended up becoming an electrician on aircraft.

Its a crapshoot for my afsc. If you end up working on a c130 for instance it would be rather chill. I ended up going to a base with f-16s so my workload is a lot more chaotic. You don't choose what aircraft you want to work on by the way.

Overall avoid working on aircraft at all cost unless you really want to be a mechanic. The constant 12 hour shifts and weekend duties drain the life out of me.

Extensions can be for two. Enlistment are a minimum of four. I've done two and am a career counselor for my division.

>They are going to bring up "bonuses" for 4-6 years enlistments but you will never see those as they are taxed at the highest tax bracket.
My step father bought his first house with his reenlistment bonus.

A war crime.

Only join the Air Force if you want extremely nice living conditions and the opportunity to save thousands of dollars a month whilst also developing skills that will land you very well paying civilian jobs if and when you decide to get out. If that's not your cup of tea, stay away from the AF

I'm going in as an E-3, so I want to at least go to E-4 by the 1st yr or so.

I want to go for the 8 yr thing, but like you said it depends right? Like how well I do in my job?

Its a fucking joke. Youre basically going to get stuffed in a compartment with 70 - 100 other guys, PT, march, eat, sleep and get hazed for two months straight. When ypu go to A-school, you get treated somewhat more like an actual person, but still a subhuman piece of shit.
In about 1 years time you wont remember anything that happened in bootcamp because it dosent matter and you'll be busy working to care.

The sleep is great though, probably the most you'll ever get in the navy.
Have fun.

>Enlist as an officer,
not a thing


Becoming a Military Officer

Commissioned officers generally enter the Military with a four-year college degree or greater, or receive officer training following tours of enlisted service.

todaysmilitary.com/joining/becoming-a-military-officer

Some people are smart enough to keep their mouths shut when they don't know what the fuck they are talking about. You are obviously not prior service.

All pilots are officers; atleast in the navy.

Forgot to add to make sure you go into IT if AF, that's where the skills to pay the bills will come from. Don't dum dum your asvab and end up fixing airplanes or being security forces

The Navy has a program called the Limited Duty Officer/Chief Warrant Officer program. You must be an E6 to apply for LDO, E7 to apply for CWO. No break in service, no college, just be the best and you'll receive a commission. Only applies to about 1% of everyone that will ever enlist. You can never be an Admiral, the highest you can go is Captain, but it beats being junior enlisted your whole life.
>I know, because I am one.

>My enlistments were all 2.
Mine was three with an early out, originally 4 but I had friends who did two. I think those have been shitcanned though and it's all 4 now.

>enlist as an officer

Uhhh no

You have to receive a commision from a commissioning source. A degree alone won't do that.

The number of commissions are controlled by specific accessions each year approved by congress.

50 couples

youtu.be/3PLmGPeLsJY

Whatever, I watched retards get butterbar commissions.

Boot camp isn't all that hard. The sleep deprivation and having to work as a team are the hardest part. The tear gas is also fun

4 inches in lenght, 2 inchest in bulk, shipmate.

...and yet you still had to do what those "retards" told you to do, and they made more money than you the first day they were in the Navy.
You might be the retard...

You only see them really during war time.

I was AvMech for non-fixed wing craft in the Army for 10 years. Easiest fucking job in the universe. Most everyone in my unit were huge gearheads, met alot of good people. The COs were probably the most likeable too.

Not sure if the Navy is the same, but being a mechanic in the armed forces was fun!

Ask the mechs to see the golden rivet!

>only see them really during war time.
Wrong. Navy CWOs serve all the time. I've know hundreds of them
Where the fuck do you morons get your information.

That was a different time bro, that shit only happens during post-war enlistment drop out.

Plus he was a pilot for advanced flight research, you get instant promotions doing shit like that.

Those retards listened to me because I was the NBC specialist so when I said mask, even officers masked when I said all clear officers went back to what they were doing and after a while I was sent to warrant officers training, the only officers in the military worth a fuck in my opinion. The experience has given me a lifetime in management and now I run my own business and I'm engaged to a VA ICU RN. In America you can write your own ticket with some ambition. The ironic thing is I hated the military, but boy my life would have sucked without that training.

I started as an E1, and will retire in a week as an O4. It happens all the time.

>Army =\= Navy

>words
You hated the military, yet stayed long enough to become a Warrant? Your story smells strongly of horseshit.
