I'm sorry but I hope you didn't...but if you did or whatever what is new?

How’d it go brother? Update? I’m thinking seriously about joining the Navy. My stories different than most. Grew up wanting to be in Marines. Have 7 family members than served in that branch. 2 Army. And 2 Navy. I worked in warehouse as a supervisor for 7 years. When I decided I wanted to join Marines was to late needed age waiver. About to be homeless on my birthday, burned all my bridges because I wanted to have fun, and I’m about to loose everything. I feel this is my last chance to get back on the right road. Because I’ve been on the wrong one for so long, I’m literally about to crash and burn.

How’d it go? I’m going as a fleet returnee soon

Jana Michels have an open mind to things and don't be afraid to ask for assistance if you need it. Battalion life will literally be a different phase in life so the best way to go about that is to just focus on graduating school and, if you go to battalion first, passing ECS. Family will be there in spirit. Don't shut them out, that support from them is mega for motivation. You'll have time to take leave to visit them

Jana Michels semper gumby/always flexible. There will be some drastic changes. Try to go with the flow. This may not help but it's hard to explain without you seeing it firsthand. Then it'll make sense

Jana Michels I am a CE also. served from 1993-1998. I am from the west Virginia area and was sent to California for my boot camp and a school. so, needless to say, I had zero friends and family on the other side of the country. no visitors after graduation in boot camp, no liberty to go back home. I was put on medical hold for 3 months because of a broken finger in a school. so, it was 9 months before I was able to get back to see friends and family. I had no background in electricity prior to my enlistment. so, I was totally green. a school, to me, seemed like a mind game more than anything. of course, you got a crash course in being an electrician. but, the real deal is after graduating a school. and, after you graduate and get to your duty station, it's just like going to a job. one that teaches you attention to detail, and a good work ethic. things very important in your career after seabees. being able to put "seabee" on your resume once you get back in the real world is huge. I've been an electrician working in the industrial field since my enlistment ended in 1998. I've been employed by a major chemical plant the past 6 years making 6 figures a year. all thanks to my start as a CE in seabee a school. hang in there... it's gonna be 5 years from now regardless. you may as well have the training and seabee experience under your belt. I'm envious. the travel and parts of the world you're going to see is amazing. if you're lucky, you'll get a Guam trip. at least it was pretty awesome back in 1997! Good luck seabee!

Haha. I was in Gulfport in 84. The Barracks were so ugly. I remember going to Biloxi, getting drunk and trying to get back in time for mid-rats.

Smoking weed in the navy so cool . Not ironic

Dain, son of Nain you mean Sea bee?

HFD Shrimp “Sea bee” is slang , like a nickname , “seabees” are the “Construction Battalion “ .

colindree yea but his great grandpa wasn’t a whole CB

My pops was in Adak in 83 as a builder. Atta boy

I was first. 2 op d7 dozer with cabe nortwest cablop

Also I'm not specifically trying to find a combat job my ma is just worried lol

Matthew Bowler it just depends on your battalions rotation because soon as I checked into my first battalion they were already about to deploy. I had two weeks to prep before I had to head out, so it just depends bro

Matthew Bowler we never go out to sea we usually are on land, the fleet side of the navy handle the seas, they wear the blue uniforms, I wear the greens

Matthew Bowler Lol its all good bro im here! haha

Melvin Taylor then why is their name seabees if they never go out to ses?

Amos Aristil I leave for EO Aschool in 2 weeks any advice

HFD Shrimp nobody gives a fuck tbh

And also what was the required ASVAB score for Seabees

your command will issue them to you .

I got a 50 on mine and landed a job as a UT in the seabees, I ship out july 26th after highschool

@@lovezzz9129 Nice!!!! Congrats and best of luck on your Journey 😊

@@lovezzz9129 how is it? I’m going in as a UT after graduation

I probably was 3 years ago lol

@@mikeyfern1😂

Matt Perez probably at least 50 or so

Haha no

Melvin Taylor no, my score was a 39 and I’m a BU

On the asvab? 200

@@justsomepear7354how is it 200 if the max on the asvab for any branch is 99

Black people can apply for a waiver . A no shave chit . Whites too. But mostly blacks get it

Not that unusual, but you mostly see african-americans with a shave profile. You have to keep it as close to the skin as possible. Moustaches are ok. Army said its part of your lip 🤨

after boot camp you go to your A school to learn your job

Isreal did 9/11

dominic norton do you remember how many college crédit you have from a school « cm »?

@@ritchyrich01 Was a long time ago. Not sure now.

Yo i have a question, did you have to do an extra 12 months of training including A school as a BU?

Adrian Ortega no

Cory Kim I guess the marines do it different

Liam James There have been rumors of that since the 70s. My Dad was a Master Chief. And even taught class at Gulfport. When My Dad was in the Sea Bees had the same physical standards as the Marines. The Seabees teaches the army how to make things happen and I'm a former Soldier. But I always brag about my dad for being a CB in the history that he made in the Seabees.

no they are not because I know

The Seabees are the world's largest construction Force. They're not going anywhere except to fight and to build!

Trucker DeadPool largest construction force🤣😂 That goes to the us Army Corp of engineers. Sea bees don’t have the equipment and manpower that the army engineers do. Proud 12N essayons

Then make a video
