Easy summary: IT = good rate with a lot of power. Good pick up and should be easier to advance than other rates ie HM (like 5% pick up for 2nd) Radio side: deals with comms you will start off in message center formatting and delivering messages. Deals with a lot of crypto too (good luck) ADP (networking side): have fun doing trouble tickets NETSEC (network security): making sure people aren’t watching porn on the network As you can see it seems like a favorite one

@AaronPaulIbarrola4 ай бұрын
@rickisantos7547 Netsec and ADP. Comms can give you a good job but there's less variety. Like if you're got at SHF communication, you can work with the Navy, merchant marines, or maybe a comms listening stations. Probably a government job. Which is good. But ADP and Netsec you could work with anyone with a network in their company. Obviously the government, but also McDonald's, Walmart, pharmaceutical companies, etc.

@AaronPaulIbarrola4 жыл бұрын
93 is really good. I got like a 70 something when I took that practise ASVAB. IT is usually available. But if it's not don't take no or another rate for an answer. Be adamant about it even if you have to come back another time or take a back up rate and keep coming back until you get it. I heard both scenarios working for people. As long as you don't get tricked or pressured into taking a rate you don't want because that's years of your life right there. I'm not too sure about using the ASVAB score to get a regular job, if that's what you're asking but I'm sure you can try. Fluff it up in your resumé because that you got whatever score on the ASVAB. But with a score that high you should be able to get most, if not any, rate. Good luck and stay safe.

Which also leads to my next question, is the wifi on ships, (especially when underway) good enough to use the internet to at least be able to use messaging apps like Skype or Discord?
@AaronPaulIbarrola3 жыл бұрын
It depends on the command. My ship didn't block Reddit and KZfaq but Netflix was blocked. But at my next command, Reddit and Netflix was blocked and KZfaq wasn't. And at my current command KZfaq and Reddit are blocked but Netflix isn't. Its weird, random, and probably evershifting. Because 4chan wasn't blocked on my ship for the longest time until someone got caught downloading... questionable memes. Then it got blocked. Reddit might have gotten blocked too after that. But its usually at the discretion of the IT's what certain things get blocked and who it gets blocked (or unblocked) for Lol For the ship WiFi, I've never been a ship that uses WiFi so I'm not a hundred percent sure. But to my knowledge it doesn't sound like its strong enough for those types of apps. I'll ask around tomorrow at work though, see if anyone has been on a ship with WiFi and get back to you on that.

Right now I'm stationed at Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station Atlantic or NCTAMS LANT which is in Norfolk Virginia. I'm only gonna be here for one year and I haven't traveled anywhere. So I can tell, if someone were here for three year orders then they would be just as likely to not be traveling anywhere for work for the whole time.

@AaronPaulIbarrola3 жыл бұрын
I would say it really depends if you want a job as in computer repair, network engineering, secret information guard, and radio communications vs if you want a job as a store clerk, inventory manager, delivery and shipping, and post officer manager. There's more to both jobs than that and also more nuanced but that's pretty much a chunk of what both jobs can be like. Both jobs translate to jobs in the civilian world to their civilian counterparts but IT will help you if you plan on working somewhere with a secret or top secret clearance. However, that doesn't bar prior LS's from the military from getting those clearances later and working IT jobs. You'd just have to work at it after the military or on your own time. An LS's I know got out and is working for a shipping company. He said it's exactly the same job. So that's something to consider. In the end, it's really up to you. Both jobs have their ups and downs. It's all about preference. What both jobs probably have in common is angry customers. Either the customer will be angry at you because their computer is broken, usually due to their own fault, or the customer will be angry the parts they ordered are not here yet, because of the limitations of mail getting from one part of the world to another. I hope that helps. If you want a more in depth dive in LS just ask some questions and I'll ask our LS in my command. Good luck.

@AaronPaulIbarrola Жыл бұрын
The difference is that for IT/ATF, you get more schooling and get an NEC (Navy Enlisted Classification), a specialization. It takes a little bit more money for them to school you, and you are in school longer, so to make up for it, they get to have you for two more years. It equals to about the same, maybe a little more, out in the fleet, but you do get advanced automatically at the completion of your schooling before you get sent to the fleet. Higher rank faster means bigger paycheck faster. The only downside is that it is two more years total. But whether you enjoy your time in and reenlist and/or learn something useful and get out eventually is up to you. For context, I did six years back in 2013, and I'm still in.

Bibs are resources for advancement but its the same type of stuff you'll see in class. It'll list a bunch of technical manuals and stuff that we study for our advancement. These you can find on NAVY COOL. Just google Navy Cool Bibs and use the Nav tool to find our rate. Also ask your instructor for help. I sometimes would ask them for extra help after class. Some people don't see that as a resource but it definitely is. You can probably also join the public Facebook group "US Navy IT's". Sometimes people have questions on there and they get answered. There is also a Private group "US Navy Information Systems Technicians" but this one they vet profiles if they have proof they actually been in. The main thing is reviewing the material they teach you hopefully they emphasize on what exactly is testable. That's the real thing. But every little thing helps. Quizlet might help too but only if someone before you bothered to upload questions. Or you could do it to help yourself and your classmates. Don't waste your off time, even if its just an hour after class or on the weekends, study everyday.

Depends on how bad and if you’re actively trying to correct it. ITs need to be qualified for a secret clearance. Bad credit is an indicator of your ability to maintain personal responsibility and integrity. Also, if you’re experiencing financial hardship, you’re more likely to be open to bribes from foreign entities. It’s best to make sure you’re paying your debts even if it’s just minimum payments and you’re not showing late payments.

Vishal Greene it’s 3 months if you get 4 years but much longer for 6. It is actually easy and they’ll help you if you struggle. Fleet returnees live at nicer barracks on nas instead of Corry and don’t have to march, not a school drop outs just rerates. The area is okay, helps being 21 and having a car.
