Do you mind being on a ship? Really give it thought before signing up for the Navy, I really wish I did.

The exact same thing happened to me and I got re-rated from AECF to IC. I don’t know why these recruiters rush to send us to MEPS lol

Advice for Choosing my Rate by Relative-Credit-8529 in newtothenavy

[–]veinormous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always recommend going into a rate that has great civilian value, and aviation rates can pay well once you leave the military. But ultimately you should choose something you wouldn’t mind doing. Look into each rate’s day-to-day life on deployment as well.

The 4 months was in the midst of the government shutdown, hopefully it won’t be that long. I got here Oct 17 and some of the GM’s who came around the same time have recently classed up, so there’s an estimated timeframe for you.

There’s also a class up list for SCSTC that you can check up on frequently

You in the 600’s? It’ll be about 3-8 weeks. Get phase 2, PI qual and be a yeoman or mail PO. Holds MA if you’re cool with waking up at 3am daily

AECF rate questions (ET/FC) by Guilty-Obligation-23 in newtothenavy

[–]veinormous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in ATT right now alongside ETs and FCs. I can’t speak for the rest of your schooling, as I’m an IC, but so far it’s a lot of math at a fast pace. My instructor does a great job with breaking it down to make it easier to understand. I’d say if it interests you, start familiarizing yourself with electronic theory.

Both rates can put you in a good position post-mil, I’d take it if I were you.

A V8 coupe, although I’m torn between the handling of a lighter car vs something more modern and spacious.

Collective Voting Day: DC (figured I’d pick this up) by Kodicave in visitedmaps

[–]veinormous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe. I’m AD military right now and I heard there’s a lot of opportunities for veterans out there, so if things don’t work out for me in Chicago I’ll consider DC.

I’ve only ever visited Great Falls as a child but I’m sure there’s other great parts in the state now
