I passed my Navy physical today, haven't touched a drug in almost 2 months.
I'm going on a coke benge before the end of the week inspired by Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. If you do drugs or enjoy weird movies, watch this shit.
IN THE NAVY, you can sail the seven seas. IN THE NAVY, you can put your mind at ease. IN THE NAVY, can't you see we need a hand. IN THE NAVY, come on and join your fellow man.
They want you, they want you, they want you as a new recruit.
I wasn't willing to wait 6 months, and the Navy offered me a better deal.
I'll be going in as an E-3 because I'm an Eagle Scout, meaning I'll be making about 300 a month more than standard enlistee's. I'm going to be working on electronics/computers on submarines so I'll be getting extra sea pay, submarine pay, and combat pay, plus a $6,000 signing bonus, like $30,000 from the GI bill towards future college, and by the time I finish with tech school for this program I'll have earned 52 college credits, so I'll be coming out with fat cash and almost enough college credits for an Associates degree just from tech school alone.
I did pretty well on the ASVAB (a military placement test), and apparantly only 5 % of those that enlist are eligible for this job, so I'm pretty happy with it.
I ship off on August 16th so I won't be around really at all after that for a few months.
