Just understand that if you make that high of rank(E5 or above) prior to getting to fleet, many of those you will work with once you do get to fleet wont really have much respect for you. They dont feel you have put the time in and done the hard work to get there....just saying for MANY MANY of my family and friends who are in fleet. I hear this alot at many family functions...hmmm lets see, my son was a nuke, my nephew had 20 years in was a linguist, my sisters husband(he ended up CIA), my sisters father in law was a ships doctor, and my uncle Commander Donald Gary,(deceased)...that is the navy side, the other half is army...you dont want to be at our house during the navy army football games!
