Check out the Seabees when you talk to your recruiter again. I was a Seabee for eight years and that's how I met my husband he was regular Navy - an airdale. I loved being in the Seabees and they have their own bases to train. One in Gulfport, MS and Port Hueneme, Ca. I was in A-School in Gulfport< MS. There are different rates, bu-builders, ea-engineering aides, ut-utilitiesman, ce-construction electician, eo-equipment operators. You may want to know if you can change your rate if you know what that is. Oh, yeah take a few college courses that will help by putting you up in rank. E1 to E2. Just ask what Seabees do. The Seabee Motto is 'We build, We fight, We party all night.' They also have t-shirts made with the logo. I went to boot camp in Orlando, FL. The Navy does not distinguis between Reserves and Active duty, it is all the same and the boot camp is the same. Only after A-school do you go back home and do your time for reserves. And in the Seabees your just plan Seabees. Also the Seabees were Battle fatigues not Navy dungarees. That was the best. Post back, I would like to know what you think about the Seabees. I worked side by side with the Seals and the Marines. Take Care and check out the SEabees. OOOOH, RAAAAH!! :1Party: :sailingaw
