Thread: Army, Navy, or civilian? - Yahoo! Answers

Join well you are still eligible to join. Join the army if you need a quick ship out and if you can wait a year for ship out join the navy. Your mother has to understand this is your life. You have a better chance being shot and killed as a civilian than on the boat to Pakistan or in the army. Do what is in the best interest for you...

While parked on a ridgetop in Afghanistan, pining for your mommy, some turd will likely blow your brains out. While out to sea in the Navy, pining for your mommy, you'll misstep a bulkhead, fall, and break your neck. Does mommy still tuck you in at night? How about making your mother proud, instead of worrying about her. Cut the apron strings, grow a pair, and remember you have to be able to get 20 good years under belt before age 55....

who has the time to read all that?

I am a 30 year old man with no purpose or ambition in life. I made a massive mistake and quit trade school when I was younger because I made a little amount of money in retail. 12 years later I realize who a drain retail is, how bad the economy is, and how much it has seemingly held me back in life. Any "real" job requires at least a bachelors degree. So I find myself stuck in a void where I am jumping around from job to job...

At 30 years old, you need to stop thinking about what will worry your mother. Mothers are designed to worry, chances are she worried about you while you're driving, afraid you'll get into an accident. It's time to take control of your own life.

If you enlist, you will be living in the barracks and will not be eligible to collect the housing allowance, BAH, till E-5/E-6 in the Navy/Army. Sta-21 is not a fast track to officer. You are too old to utilize Sta-21 to commission in any navy program since you do not already have a degree. https://www.sta-21.navy.mil/program_opti… The army has a similar program-green to gold- but you will be too old to utilize:...

30 years old? Coast Guard, Air Force, and Marine Corps are out! Forget them, you are over the age limit, as you have figured out. You have the Army or the Navy left. Pick a job, then figure out which branch is the best way to go. Personally, go Navy and get a high security clearance job. Good luck! Welcome to the beginning stages of a depression - history repeats itself.

Try for Linguist, Navy or Army. In the Army, it's 35P, Navy it's CTI. And from what I understand Navy CTIs really don't do much cruise time at all. If you don't score high enough on the DLAB for that, go for Navy CTN/CTT or the Army equivalent of 35N. Or All Source Analyst, 35F. Regardless of which service you choose, if you get language school, that's a regionally accredited institute, which means...
