BookspanS Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 I just took my oath to the US Navy yesterday. Shipping on April 27 of 2009 as of right now. I am going in for Sonar Tech until I pass a test for mechanics, and then still I am trying to pass a physical test for EOD (Explosive Ordinance Disposal)
BLHTAZ Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Good for you I did 6 years combined in the Army / Army National Guard. I have always said that every young man should have to at least go through Basic Training. It does wonders for attitude and moving in to adult-hood. :cheers:
SuperWade2 Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 While I would have died (or been killed) within 20 minutes of being in the Military, I come from a military family and salute those that serve their country... Good luck to you young man... (man that makes me sound like the oldest 34 year old on the face of the planet) Wade

"I, 'state your name', do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God. "
wolfpackjeeper Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 my oath was a bit different, close enough though, same principle
boman40 Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 I was in the Navy, 6yrs. Now my son is in the Army, just grad. from Apache helicopter at Ft Rucker, AL. last week. What a job he has and gets paid for it!
HOrnbrod Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 I just took my oath to the US Navy yesterday. Shipping on April 27 of 2009 as of right now. I am going in for Sonar Tech until I pass a test for mechanics, and then still I am trying to pass a physical test for EOD (Explosive Ordinance Disposal) You picked the best shipmate. :cheers: Sonarman is a good rate. Retired USN, subs then tin cans, Vietnam vet, Desert Storm as a DoD civilian, Telecommunications. Where you heading for boot? Great Lakes? Enjoy and make the best of it.

CypherWulf Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 After spending 6 years as an infantry/cavalry medic, I've switched to being an Eye Specialist. I'm prepping for a deployment next summer to Iraq (My third). Grats on your choice to serve the country, even if it is with the Navy!
comanche89 Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 i joined the Marines a few months ago and ship out to boot in january 12
smithe1811 Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 5 Years USMC. Aviation ordnance. EOD is a tough job, good luck with that Erik :beerhead:
mfpdm Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 24+ but fixing to retire. I am a Sonar Tech believe it or not, however it's not as fun as it was when the Russians were still playing. You'll get some good schools, but I'd look into the SeaBees as someone else mentioned earlier. If I had to do it over that's what I would have done. They get great training. Most of it out at Port Huneme, CA. Good luck to you and thank you for your service. :cheers:
beaterjeep Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Congrats and thanks for serving. If I could be allowed in any branch of the military, I would have already been in the marines.
