Thank you! That’s definitely helpful. I never try to sugarcoat boot camp. I tell students and applicants that boot camp sucks and you’ll hate your life for the first few weeks. Haha!

It’s admirable that you want to serve your country. And the Navy is the BEST way to do that. Although, I’m biased. CTN really is a cool rate, and I hope you get it! I started my Navy career as a...

Congratulations shipmate! So, I’m a recruiter. And I like to give my deppers the cold hard truth about boot camp. It’s been a minute since I was there and I know it’s changed quite a bit. So...

This is going to be a long post... Both rates are good. It’s really hard for a recruiter to say whether it’ll be open or not (btw, I’m a recruiter). But here’s the deal. If you go to MEPS and...

Yes. As a CTR there’s a big chance you’ll be on a ship for your first tour. I really wish I went CTR. It’s such a cool rate. I worked in the CTR building and got to hear/see a ton of their...

You should definitely be getting some sort of BAH. It may not be the full BAH with dependents, but you should get partial - at least. Glad that a PS3 was able to assist you (I’m a PS3, too. Haha)....

I wouldn’t think so. If I know the Navy Reserve - and I’m pretty sure I do - they’ll jump at the chance to bring you home. It costs a lot of money to keep you in school. And the Navy is broke....
