Default Hello Everyone!

I have been looking around the internet for some information on joining the military and I came across this website/forum. I have been hanging around reading a few things for the last couple of days and decided to join! I look forward to receiving some great advice from all of you...

Navy! Ive been considering joining for a while but now circumstances have accelerated my decision. I started exercising a few months back, I use to weigh 320lbs and now im down to 270, trying to get to 230 before I actually enlist, but I figured I might just do it now. I will be joining with an Associates Degree in I.T. and will hopefully join the Navy in an area of computers. I also have heard of NROTC but am not familiar with it. I would like to pursue a lifetime of navy service and Im wondering what my options are. Thanks in advance!

Well, come on over to the Navy Cadet forum (below). We've got a few NROTC Cadets that would be more than happy to answer your questions on that topic. If you already have a degree, however, you might want to check into OCS (though, if I recall, you would need a Bachelors). Information Technology (Information Warfare) is one of the Navy's large fields:

The Navy Reserve also has a direct appointment program if you posess experience in the cryptology field, as well.

Good luck!

If you're a businessman from Bangaladesh, then why are your tags showing Army Active Duty?




Googlefu is showing that a lot of different forums having a "GuitarCrazyo" joining in October.

His virtualjeepclub profile says he's located in Cambodia.

His makemoneykingdom profile says he’s from the UK, located in the US and interested in Lana Taylor.

On hulkspace, he’s 18 years old, born in the US and been there his entire life, and interested in Lana Taylor.

I could keep going, but I don’t feel like looking at 2,480 different forums.
