[QUOTE="CAMELEON, post: 7160939, member: 56795"] I did 6 years. I don't regret going in nor getting out. Make sure you get EVERYTHING in writing when dealing with your recruiter. Mine was fantastic, but I knew a lot of people that were out and out lied to. Do a lot of research BEFORE you sign anything. Get into a field you think you will enjoy and get your schools guaranteed in writing. Apply yourself! Most of the people around me were good reliable steady hard working people but if you could apply yourself, it is easy to stand out and get noticed. There are a lot of opportunities to further your education, take advantage of them and anything Uncle Sam has to offer. I was on an aircraft carrier (CV-62 USS Independence) and my brother was on a strike destroyer (DD-967 USS Elliott). He got to go to a lot more places as carriers are limited to larger ports in general. If traveling to a lot of places is important, a smaller ship would offer better opportunities. This ties back in to chose your rate, chose your fate. Your chances of ending up on an aircraft carrier are much higher than a smaller ship if you chose an aviation rate. Hope my perspective was helpful. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
