Hey. U.S. Navy noob here starting Basic Training in 6 months.
Can you guys scare me? Recruiters only talk about the nice parts of the Navy. I'm fully aware all branches have their own varying degrees of dangerous situations. It's the U.S. military after all. A country constantly in conflict with someone else.
If anyone is wonder why, well, I was a college student, but I never dedicated myself to my studies. Also, my parents tried to chain me up to not join because they believe "I'm being brainwashed into being stationed in Iraq while no scoping ISIS and throwing my life away to rich politicians that have never been to battle."
Pic-unrelated.
you also have a pretty good chance of getting raped by another navyman

I was already molested between ages 5-7 by my brother because I didn't think incest was an issue. How about something more serious?

Navy basic is a joke, don't even worry about it

Yes, it's true that the recruiters (and even other servicemen) will lie to you about how good it is in the Navy. You're still being deployed into a combat zone, and there's still a chance that your parents will get a folded flag. One of the bigger lies is that you'll be given a "support" job. Recruiters can't promise you a fucking thing in terms of where you'll go after boot camp, so they're really just saying whatever it takes to get you to enlist.
Your almost gaureented to have damage to your knees and back, you will have fuck fuck games played, Ibuprofen becomes candy, you will vacuum the parking lot because you need to stay busy... Etc. What rate you heading?
