Any other MCs out there?
I know the community is small, but hopefully there's someone out there!
But anyway, my questions are: How was A School in Fort Meade? What kinds of classes do we get to take? Do you get a speciality or is it just all-around know a bit of everything? After school do you just get stationed on a ship and is it really for 3yrs, if so when does your spouse get to come with you? What kinds of things have you experienced as an MC? Positive and/or Negative? Thanks!!! |
Pretty sure I'm the only one in the community on this site...
As an MC you'll do three basic things - writing stories, photography, and video. Depending on where you are stationed will influence how much of what you do. There are specialized NECs you can get (graphic design, broadcasting, to name a couple), but in general you will learn at least a little of everything. Most MCs will go straight to a ship (usually a carrier or big deck amphib). Yes, your spouse can come with you. Some MCs will go to a shore-based sea duty. Basically, you're not assigned to a specific ship, so you get loaned to a smaller ship for their deployment. |
Thank you! When you say my spouse can come with me, you're talking about when I get shore duty correct? Not really sure how sea duty works :/

He can come with you on sea duty.
On sea duty, you'll be assigned to a ship, but (with a couple exceptions) you'll come home every night. The exceptions being when the ship is underway (short exercises, certifications or training, generally 1-6 weeks), the nights you have duty (once every 3-10 days, depending on the ship, you have to stay on the ship for 24 hours), or you are deployed (longer missions overseas (3-10 months). |
Wow, you have no idea how happy I am to hear that. Thanks so much Guppy!
