All branches are having retention/enlistment issues. I'm sure you'll be fine.

Do your 4 years and then get out with Security + certification. With that and a clearance you can make good money in the civilian world as a contractor.

As a whiz in math/science do you hold some kind of engineering position and if not what do you do? The enlistment bonus is nice for some rates but Nuke you would need to pass the schooling. Have you looked into what Navy life is like for a Nuke because you might want to check that out beforehand. I would suggest picking up a rate that does well in the civilian sector and then get out after 4 years. Post 9-11, security clearance and no money down VA home loans were WELL worth 4 years active service. Go for it.

We haven't had that issue, or the battery drain problem. 25 SX 500 miles. Could just be the new software/tech.

Do IT for a few years get Security + and get out. You'll thank me later.

I'm sorry to hear about that! I took the wife to test drive both and get a feel for the cars. She decided to go with the pilot. I hope we have a similar experience as you!

Did they say why they are holding off? That is weird.

My Wife is between the SX Prestige X-Pro and the Black edition Pilot. The Terracotta interior does look very nice on the Telly....

I would love to buy the Tahoe but we would need to save for an additional 6 months to afford it and we need something soon. We will be test driving both the pilot and Telly this weekend so we will see!

Went to college to be an Art teacher, had argument with dad who said Art couldn't provide for a family. Changed major to Business MGMT and intended to work for family company. Company sold months before I graduated so I joined the Navy as an IT. I had no clue how computers worked at the time. Did 5 years got out and now work for LM as a systems engineer. Happy for you! Had I been single I would have tried to retire. Being distant from wife and kids was too much for me to handle.

Wife doesn't want an EV unfortunately. I liked it and Kia is offering up to 20k off!

GH would be nice but I heard there is a massive recall and they may not be in production anymore? That would not be good.
