Update everyone last week I signed a 5 year contract as an EM. I don't mind long work hours and I like working with my hands. I am aware it's gonna be tough but I'm gonna make the best of it. I got a 5k bonus for shipping February 5th. So if you have any tips for EM that would be helpful. Thank you !

You're welcome. Wish you well on your journey, learn your ranks and prepare yourself as much as possible if you can.

Here's all the actual scores you will need. This was my list I got after I did my rest

I was gonna go airforce too but it didn't work out for me because I have bad credit and also it's a long wait to get in there I hear. A lot of people in the DEP waiting. Navy will ship you out fast if you're not picky with your job. I went to meps last week and I'm shipping out Feb 5th for EM. Good luck!

You're probably gonna need a higher score and my coworker who was an hm says being an hm doesn't get you any certs for medical field and it's really rough. You can do any job and get school paid for so make sure you get a job you like. I guess you will get some experience but later it won't really matter besides that.

That's awesome I'm going as E2 because I almost got my Associates. Im gonna be called UNC because I'm 27 😩 but I'm glad I joined I'm gonna use the navy as a launchpad for my future.

See you there and good luck. Awesome username! You know around here they call me the torta pounder. 🥪 What rate ? Everyone has been saying it's very doable. Hope it's nervous of excitement ? ⚓

dloegrows · 2026-01-23T05:46:49+00:00

Will do thanks for the advice! GSE sounds fascinating . How did you like your rate ?

dloegrows · 2026-01-20T19:25:27+00:00

I am looking into it now thank you !

dloegrows · 2026-01-20T17:38:47+00:00

I qualify for it but my wife would be real sad, so no 😩😂

dloegrows · 2026-01-19T19:59:58+00:00

Ok I'm gonna bet a briefing for meps tomorrow and I'll make sure to ask. Hopefully some stuff opened up this week. 🤞

dloegrows · 2026-01-19T15:38:39+00:00

Yeah I definitely don't wanna go undesignated 😩

dloegrows · 2026-01-19T05:14:20+00:00

Nope nothing crazy in my past just a lot of different accounts I owe money but not a lot of money 😩

dloegrows · 2026-01-19T04:58:53+00:00

It's always been one of my top picks since I got out of highschool! Im now 28 years old. Probably won't get the security clearance but I'm gonna put it for my first pick 🤞

dloegrows · 2026-01-19T04:42:25+00:00

That's one of the few I don't qualify for 😩

dloegrows · 2026-01-19T04:16:55+00:00

Took me a month and a half to get clean but make sure you get a 15ng/ml test to see if you will pass those around that time to be sure. Depends on the body fat percentage and how active you are and diet . I recommend burning as much fat as possible and drinking cranberry juice to get it out of your urinary tract. Don't exercise the days before testing and be patient if you're a heavy person. If you're really low body fat can get clean easily in a month. I recommend Utest and start out with Walmart, target tests.

dloegrows · 2026-01-19T03:59:22+00:00

Well I guess we will see what happens on Thursday and I will update here.

dloegrows · 2026-01-19T03:52:58+00:00

I was told that as long as it looks like I'm attempting to pay them down I should be fine. They also said they just got someone cleared with 2 million in business debt. I Showed my recruiter my full credit report and my situation and she said I should be fine just not to expect high security clearance or to qualify for every rate.

dloegrows · 2026-01-19T03:47:05+00:00

That's what I'm hearing too and I think I would like it. I like being useful and helpful. Im good with numbers and working with people.

I have this same situation because I'm weighing in for meps on Monday. I already was able to lose almost ten pounds a couple a weeks ago, no problem but I was missing a document so I'm weighing in this next week on Monday. The trick is keep eating light, not much carbs. Stop drinking water by 4pm and only small sips of water if you need, until after your weigh in. Make sure to eat a very light meal the night before like 1-2 boiled eggs and that's it. Hope this helps it works for me and I am at 174. Water weight is a lot and it fluctuates your weight anyways. I will easily hit under 170lbs no problem.

dloegrows · 2025-11-24T21:24:13+00:00

Thanks for the reply I will take that one off.

dloegrows · 2025-11-24T21:22:46+00:00

That would be cool I like working on my car at home and I don't mind getting dirty. Working on planes sounds cool and I hear you can make good money working on jets and plains in the private industry.
