The Navy has allowed to excell and prepare myself for a stable future and solid career. The Navy Has given me outstanding leadership skills by example and actual work experience. The Enviroment is great you get to work with people you never met before from all walks of life and to be able to leade them in the right direction to accomplish one goal. The pay is only good once you make rank or depending on location. Job stability is outstanding, as long ad there is a America to protect, there will be a Navy. Advancement is also outstanding only depending on your job. My job depends on knowledge, willing to learn, experience, and leadership skills which I have been able to excell myself in.

Advice for prospective applicants:

It is a choice you will never regret. It is definetly a life changing experience that will point you in the right direction.

This is an extremely diverse community so you get your good eggs and your bad eggs, so to speak. The pay is not that great for how often we are out to sea or working, but the job security is the best. I have had some good times here and I've matured and learned alot whether it be how to do my job or how to be a leader and stand out amongst my peers. I am sad to have to go, but it's just not for me anymore. My family is my priority so the long hours and being deployed are not going to work for me anymore.

Advice for prospective applicants:

Do your research before you join. Talk to people who have been in or who are currently in. Explore the different ratings and find the one that best suits you. The recruiter and MEP station will try to push jobs on you that they are in need to fill, so make sure it's really something that you will enjoy doing because you are signing a contract that puts you in that career field for at least four years.

Leadership: It's hit or miss. There are great ones and terrible ones, and you always have 5 different bosses. Environment: It's a whole different lifestyle that you have to adapt to. Pay: It's not too bad, but not the thing that will make you want to join. Stability: You can't get fired! And the pay check comes twice a month no matter what. Advancement: In my rate (CTR), advancement is extremely easy.

Advice for prospective applicants:

Make sure the job you sign up for is the job you want.

To excel in the NAVY is up to each individual SAILOR. The pay is based on your advancement and your advancement is a reflection of your dedication.
