The Navy - UURich - 10-25-2010
My packet is currently under review by the US Navy for Chaplaincy after I spent 14 years in the US Army. I worked multinationally with many in the US Navy, British Navy and across several other branches. Much of it comes down to how well your ASVAB scores worked out. And if you didn't score high enough to do what you want to do, wait to retake it. The Navy will always be there, as any branch of the US military.
You can PM me with additional questions, what you're thinking of pursuing or any thoughts you may have. I went from flying UAV's (drones) to Chaplaincy. Big shift.

Just remember that recruiters will lie to you to get you to sign up. Be ready to lose a decade or two of your life, where quitting = jail.

This is partially false. Yes the recruiters will lie to you. You better read the fine print..and know EXACTLY what your signing up for. Do not make the mistake that many others have by signing up blindly and end up getting the short end of the stick. Know what you want, I.E I want to do this, and serve for x amount of years. Research it then talk to your recruiter. Or you might entirely end up joining the Marines as an infantry men serving for 4 years.
As for quitting and being jailed, no..that's wrong. Your given a contract that you must complete. By contract I mean the amount of years you serve. If you commit a crime, your automatically jailed and dishonorably discharged. Though there is ways to get honorable discharge before you contract, it's best to know what you want as stated or be screwed.
Take this from someone who has a dad, a uncle and a brother-in-law who served in the marines, 1 uncle who served in the Navy, and the brother in law who is currently a pilot in the Navy, as well as I who is going into ROTC for the Airforce to become a pilot.
