[/quote] I was in the Navy ---- OP DON'T JOIN. I have no idea what the IT relevant rating does, but my guess is they have BADLY outdated technology that you won't even get to touch mostly. Count on pushing a mop for your first four years basically. I was an AT, and my NEC was 6704 - CASS operator/maintainer. CASS stands for "Consolidated Automated Support System" which is an automated electronics test system that consists of a MicroVAX III (oooo so HIGH TECH!!!) with testing apparatii based on memory mapped I/O peripherals. The shit is a joke, and they are desperately trying to replace it since it cannot live to its overhyped promise. BTW, this is basically the second best rating/NEC next to nuke (I did not want to take the nuke rating). The Navy is full of mosterous sociopaths, and count on getting blackballed if you are taller than your supervisor, have a last name/ethnicity he doesn't like, have to compete with some chick he is getting sucked off by, etc etc. Seen it all --- when you get "blackballed" they will have people make shit up on you so that you get 'written up' and/or send you TAD in perpetuity. If you REALLY want to go military/military like for technical related stuff, I'd suggest the USAF or Coast Guard. [/quote] You must have had a bad experience.....I have to disagree with your statements [/quote] Nope, my experience was pretty typical! Why do you think they have such a retention problem? Why do you think they offered me a $30,000 reenlistment bonus? I told them to shove it. LMFAO you clueless clown. [/quote]

I'm in my later 20s, so I'm a little late, but ready.
Thinking going into the IT part...
4 year commitment.
