Ask a US Navy recruiter anything. Go

So you like the fact that DoN got rid of ratings?

Can I eat your ass?

>>734913138
That's no longer the case

Where do I sign up?

>>734913562
Anywhere. Lol. Where do you live?

>>734913562
You can do it through OP. He's a recruiter for the Navy, bro.

>>734913138
They gave them back, but it was pretty stupid.

>>734913562
Also you can fill out an application or find a recruiter online at navy.com

Alright, what the fuck? My sisters kid is in the Navy right now. She always mumbles about how if she hit the lottery the Navy would discharge him because "he'd become a target." Is she full of shit, or is that actually Navy policy?

>>734912943
I'm assuming you're fucking around, but just in case you're legit here goes. Green card holder with a ged (don't ask) wanna serve our glorious nation. What's my chances of getting in and what jobs are available? Also, to the retard that said that about ratings, their back nigga.

In the 70s - 90s a naval officer actually meant something. So my question is, how's it feel to in the bitch-corps and not actually see any danger whilst reaping better benefits than soldiers on the ground ?

>>734913995
Im serious. Just transferred to recruiting a few weeks ago. We obviously prefer high school diplomas, however you can get in with a GED. Go take the asvab and see what you make. As far as the green card, thats cool. We will get you your citezenship. As far as jobs available, its impossible to say. It all depends on your score, and timing

>>734913967
Shes full of shit, but idk who would stay in after winning the lotto lmao

>>734914261
Feels pretty great actually. Especially while im getting a free college tuition and job experience. Im not an officer though. Lowly enlisted man.

>>734914261
Dont get me wrong, our boys are over there fighting too and I have the utmost respect for those guys, as well as all combat vets, but Im just an engineer lol

>>734914691
Nice to know army and marines really do qualify as mentally retarded

>>734912943
Not sure if this is legit, but what kinda grades are you fellows looking for? Also, do eagle scouts get extra benefits?

>>734914395
I don't really care about special treatment on the citizenship thing, it'll come when it does, I just want the adventure and the adrenaline, just asking cause I've heard the options are limited because you can't get a job with a security clearance and most cool jobs in the navy require one. If true I guess I'll join the marines instead and be a rifleman or tank crewman.

>>734914971
Legit, id timestamp my uniform, but my girl is asleep. Also idk who would really make this up. Grades dont necesarily matter to be honest, but if you have good grades, you will do well on the ASVAB. Id have to look into the eagle scout thing, dont quote me but i dont thing theres extra benefits other than youve obviously got the discipline we look for. Wish i had finished mine.

>>734915121
Depends on your definition of a cool job i guess, if youre looking to go fight, yeah join the marines. Just so you know though by the time you graduate boot camp you become a citizen. You could try for another job with a clearance like that later on, but it is hard

What's the regs on surgeries you can have and still enlist? I had fusion surgery for my scoliosis about 5 years back. Would still like to join, even though I make more as a civ, now.

>>734913967
It's legit, its like 1 million or more and you become a liability so you get admin sep'd

>>734915281
Is your girl black and goes to college in PA? Asking cause I might know a Jody

>>734914971
Auto E-3 in basic for eagle scouts. This recruiter is retarded lol bet hes a seabee

>>734915121
Dude marines fuck you sideways, you break a foot and they boot you, legit go army, navy, chairforce even the coast guard. Just not the marines m8

I originally went to a Navy recruiter for OCS. Dude kept pushing aviation on me and giving me this bullshit story about how I'm going to be flying a jet in no time, how sick it would be blah blah blah. As if I didn't do my research ahead of time. Then he started emailing me questioning my manhood because I told him I'm going to hold off on it for now. I genuinly wanted to go Navy route but that dude really rubbed me the wrong way. Now I'm putting together a packet for Army OCS.

But here's my question. So I have a heart murmur and when I was a baby I had a tumor removed.
Hasn't been a problem for over a month of talking to my recruiter and today a supervising recruiter asked me to talk to tell me "it might be a no go for you man". I haven't even gone to MEPS yet. SO what's the deal? How the fuck would he know?

>>734916505
Wtf you only get a single promotion for doing 3 years in rotc

>>734915121
Are you single? Go undesignated in the navy, you'll hate your life but you come out with some awesome stories

>>734916343
As long as youre cleared by your doctor abd the MEPS doctor, youre fine.

>>734916720
Oh yeah, when should I discuss bonuses with my recruiter? Haven't talked to him about it yet.
Got a 93 on the AFQT. Can score a 230-250 on a PT as of now.

>>734916835
Don't know what to tell you, shoulda been an eagle scout

>>734916417
Lol no. Good lookin out tho

>>734916720
Is it on your med file? If so you might be fucked on the military route. In non war time they nit pick everything.

>>734916505
Lol nope. GSE1 here. I just started recruiting tho thats why i said id have to look it up.

>>734916960
Thats gay but whatever

>>734912943
Howe often do you tell someone they can be a "seal" just to full your quota when you know he won't make it?

I'm nut talking the guy who prob won't, I mean the guy you know never will

>>734916643
Idk man I've heard they get most of the action so that's why I'm considering them. Idc about the job of how tough it is, as long as they give me a rifle, a porn magazine, a bit of water and point me to the general direction of the enemy I'll be happy. Then there's the navy that you get to go around the world on a ship, do cool stuff and fuck ladyboys in Thailand, problem is I don't want a mechanic rate n shit.

>>734916932
Well he shouldn't know but whatever, and idk, i get you when i signed on the AF recruiter was a huge dickhead and the navy guy was a bro so joined the navy lol

>>734917088
Where did you bootcamp at?

>>734917024
They asked me for a medical document from my doctor, standard for OCS aparently. With the tumor I have a massive scar so there is no hiding it. I brought it in and showed it to them, it's from when I was 15, it's the most recent. I'm 24 now. One of the annotations on the letter mentioned a heart murmur when I was a kid. Doctor has not made note of it in years.

Like I said, I can kill it on a PT so I don't understand the issue. If they give me shit I'll just fly over to France and join the legion.

>>734917088
Thats engines right? Do you enjoy that?

9 months ago I was ET2 with 6 years, now a student using the GI bill. My old ship left for deployment today, feels weird. I've thought about going back but then I remember i'd rather stick a gun in my mouth than be enlisted. I miss the people.

>>734916864
Yeah man totally single. What do they do? Cool stories sound like my thing

>>734917156
Thats the greatest thing ive heard today

>>734912943
How many navy seal wannabes do you have to deal with on a weekly basis?

>>734916720
Well that sucks about your Navy experience. Dude was a douche. As far as the heart murmur, you probably have to get cleared by a civilian doctor first if you were diagnosed. Also a month is not long. I am not an army recruiter or officer recruiter though.

>>734917307
Oh thats fucking cuts m8

>>734917139
I mean hey ive given you warning so if you still wanna run headlong into that shit do it boyo

>>734917137
Never, those seal guys screen hard as soon as we get em

You say that you're new, OP, but I would imagine that you've put a few people through, so far. Have you heard anything from them saying that they hate what they do? Lol. What's the coolest rate there is, btw. I was thinking MA. Seems like a gravy train job.

>>734917309
They pretty much work the lines and paint, but eventually they get to choose the job they want based on whats open. If you're good with people you can build connections and get in the job you want.

>>734912943
What the fuck did you just say to me, you little bitch?

>>734912943
I'd like to join as a graphic designer. Visit my website and tell me if I'd make the cut? http://donate.simplecharity.com

>>734917182
Great lakes, IL

>>734917400
I've been in touch and talking with the recruiter for about 4 months, but the last month is where we made any real headway in terms of the SF form, documentation etc.

I'll go to my doctors tomorrow and ask him for some form of documentation.

Also how easy/hard is it to do a Masters while active? That's one of the major reasons I'm joining. Clear my bachelors student loans, get a free masters, some experience, a decent wage for a few years.

>>734917257
Thats affirmative, Gas Turbines, i love it

>>734917547
Right, but have you ever told a guy he could be one just to get him so he could be denied?

>>734916720
Speaking as someone who's going PLC Marine Corps, you never tell those fuckers anything. I offhandedly told my DODMERB eye doctor that my left eye is weaker than my right eye and they diagnosed me with a bunch of disabilities I don't have. It took me all of last summer to clear it up. They're looking for any reason to disqualify you.

So i was solid navy for about 3 years now and its my junior year, i was told by both my dad and my bro who went army that the navy doesnt let you choose your job but the army does, are they talking out of their ass or is it legit? I want to be a linguist btw.

>>734912943
I wish I could've enlisted at 17 gone to pilot school and torpedoes japs

Does the navy have any used for an accountant? Lol

>>734917569
Lol no i literally just started. But ive been in the navy 5 years. Coolest rate definitely depends on the person. MA sucks though lol in my opinion. Most people hate engineering but i fucking love it.

>>734917525
Much obliged my dude I'm just not very picky and and doing it more for duty/fun.
>>734917572
Doesn't sound too bad dude not bad at all, will give it a look

>>734917723
I'm not the recruiter but I can answer this for you. My buddy got into BUDS. They basically tested him within a week of him showing up and saying he wanted to be a SEAL. He had some weird curvature to his back he was totally unaware about so they stalled on him for 8 months and then he just got a civie job. Now he's a top contender in the crossfit games.

>>734917723
No man that looks bad on me lol

>>734917628
