Default I'm officially a Semen!

Signed my contract and swore in this morning. Ship date isn't until August 2011 the latest. If a spot opens sooner I could leave sooner. Here is the info on the job I chose if anyone is interested. I'm very excited and can't wait to ship out.

Interesting. Didn't know you were looking into the Navy. Good luck.

I was an OS in the Navy from 2005 to 2009. Congrats, shipmate. When we would go on deployments, we'd get squadrons attached to our ship and I remember seeing the aviation crew all the time. They really had it pretty easy...you'll have fun. Plus, the Post-9/11 GI Bill is awesome. Seriously, just by going to school they pay me $2,000 a month to eat and live...so basically everything I've done to my car including the car itself was paid for just by doing well in school...

ASVAB Score Requirements: VE+AR+MK+MC=210 and AR+2MK+GS=194
Is it generally difficult or easy to get these scores?

I got an 89 on the ASVAB. I don't even know what that means about the 210 or 194 since I thought the highest is 99 or 100...

If you did well on your SAT's then no.

Congrats Phil.

"...and if they choose, rescue swimmer training."

Hmm, how many skin divers does it take to rescue a drowning seaman?
