;)

JTsuits or in your case with 5 deployments haha

Brian Franco lol

wish going from the safe o-3 to o-4 was like that but nope making e-6 is easier than making o-4 these days...

Hell yeah man, idk if ur still active, whats your rank now?

thanks man! there's more to it but this gives you the gist.

dude it's coming!

James Wooten it shouldn’t effect advancement. Yes there are free mason in the navy but I haven’t noticed a trend or hook ups with them.

You won't be able to rank up until you have a rate so you will have to wait until after A school

Jason Moote I'm in the same exact boat. Would love an answer i'm in AECF i ship out March 28th

Kevin Mott leaving for basic on the 23, I'm taking to a recruiter that had aecf next week. I'll let you know if I learn anything

I was an “AT” in the Advanced Electronics program and got my “Push-Button” E4 right out of A-School and made E-5 with 2.5 years in but some made it with less time but that has more to do with timing, how quickly you get to your first command and get an eval that actually makes you “promotable” (other than training commands where you are mostly “non-observed”). This made it theoretically possible to make E-6 before the end of your six year enlistment and I was first eligible at year five but didn’t make it. Took four more exam cycles and I made E-6 in 7 years which was still early but not much faster than those who started out as E1 on a standard four year contract. Actually looking back now, the advanced training really wasn’t worth it - too much information crammed into too little time, seemed more of a gimmick plus I went to a squadron where I couldn’t really put all that electronics training to good use. If you are going to stay in and make it a career, you will always be thought of as a “push-button” or “Rent-a-Crow” who didn’t actually “earn” their Crow like they did. If you get out after your 6-year enlistment, people that hire you won’t think you have “real” electronics training and will pass you over for anyone with an associate degree.

Correct. You have to have the degree with a certificate to get the points.

good question for the recruiter honestly.

yeah I can. anything you wanted to know specifically.

Well I ship out to bootcamp April 5th, abh is the rate I chose. Just curious if you knew what the job is like? I've heard good and bad things(such as grunt work and whatnot). Is it like BM basically? And what are the ups and downs of living/working on an aircraft carrier just in general?

i thought the requirements were based on credit hours. My recruiter mentioned applying for officer while active duty. He did also mention that the requirements were a 3.5+ GPA, mostly 4.0 is ideal.

Tyler Dees either navy or air force. Army is generally slowest. It also depends on job and wether you are enlisted or an officer

No prior certificates will really get you any benefit to be honest. Only exception I have seen is enlisted morticians require to have their degree but then again you're talking about a community with less than 15 people.

If you're a seabee you're not attached to a ship.

Shelly Hamilton near the end of boot camp you usually get your e2/e3 patches to go on your whites and blues plus collar devices

Dean Fraser woah how’d you do that?

not many of them and I believe it's a job that shouldn't say what they do.

I got this rate st meps earlier this week (after really working to get it) And yeah. Im getting a lot of mixed info from it and i am excited to find out about it. Im going to bootcamp as an E3 and want to make Petty Officer asap

they're coming!

not likely on the degree. too busy with deployments, and work that it's tough. Extra duties are just after you know your job you take on other tasks. Your boss or leadership will tell everyone about different opportunities.

Lmao

Shai incorrect. You need a bachelors degree to become an officer. Associates will only help with points for advancement.

Okay got you !Thank you!

Cow Man2w Your paragraph suggests an education level that will not support your stated goals. Will you have finished High School?

@@SaltiDawg2008 that was a lot more polite than I was going to reply. Cheers

Both. It gets more difficult as you go up because there are more people competing for less spots.

aka "flag letter" meaning a flag officer has to sign it.

@@NICKYMGTV Again, a Letter of Commendation does not have to be signed by a Flag Officer! I retired as an O-5 and had signed many, many Letters of Commendation for presentation and inclusion in Service Records.

thanks for sharing the love!!! :) also you know the core stuff but you should also know the chain of command. Identifying rank comes with time. Even after bootcamp! some people always have issue with senior chief.

@@NICKYMGTV the navy core values ?

The issue with this is information is lost during translation. Many services offer this already actually for a subscription fee. What you find is since the test is based on a curve then you will score middle of the pact by using the same resource to study as most do that think they are getting a "faster" way

I dont know about the scores to be honest.

Nicole Acuna I know that in order to be corpsman your GS, VE, and MK have to add up to 146 or more.

Safeya Medina general science and what else?

TheJackieeisbeastxP corpsman, master at arms, ETs, AZ, Yeoman. There's a lot depends on what you see yourself doing after the military. However, if you don't get the military job that correlates to what you want to do in the civilian sector, the military will still look good on your resume when your seeking employment

Rudy H I really want to be in the medical field when I leave the military and yes I was thinking about corpsman of course I'd probably have to take some more classes for a civilian medical field job huh? For example maybe ultrasound tech, pharmacy tech nurse

Rudy H but not sure how the transition is though probably need to look more into it but thanks!

A&p mechanic

ATC

Iviseral you’re funny.

If you are an officer, you need to be a fixed wing pilot or a SWO nuclear. Don't know about enlistment

Whos asking?

I think all branches are battling this right now.

max is 4 sadly

NOOOOOO... ok
