Have you taken the ASVAB yet & if so do you have your line scores to know what jobs you qualify for? And do you know the difference between YN and YNS? You mention an interest in YNS but that is a submarine rate - you will be on subs & pretty much out of contact with family when you are on deployment. YN is a surface rate - you can be stationed anywhere there are sailors. Your first assignment will probably be sea duty but most likely on a surface ship or with a squadron.

When you do get to MEPS, you will be told which jobs are available to you at that time...some times the rate you want is not available...it is best to have at least a list of 5 you are interested in.

But if I'm interested only on YNS rate, there will be any problem with my enlistment?. Regards, JGB |

Not a problem as long as they have a YNS slot open that day. You can never know ahead of time what jobs they have any given day until you sit down with the detailer. I just wanted to be sure you understood that YNS is a submarine rate and YN is the same job just not on subs.

I'm know that YNS is specific job on submarine and this is the reason for that I want this rate. Can I choose a specific submarine class on Sub School, such as SSBN submarine?. Any information about this question I'll be very gratefull. Regards, JGB |

If you stick around for a 2nd enlistment, that's when you really get a lot more freedom in picking where you go. /r CTT1
