I spent 8 years active doing secure communications. Wife enlisted as an admin clerk, reclassed to 74B (which was changed to 25 series) then the decided to make the jump to Warrant Officer. Her sisters are both in the military, and two of her three brothers joined the military. One of them ended up with medical problems and the other is still in. |

It is awesome, the Navy paid for my BA in enviromental management, but now I am getting some nice six figure offers that are hard to turn down.

take advantage of the 100% TA! Look at Columbia Southern University, They took 60 credits from my smart transcript (all navy classes).

Roger that, prior 51st AGS Osan AB...Crewdog for four years! That's a long time...only seven more and you could retire. Tell em to make you an officer now that you have a scientific degree...then stay and retire. Last edited by Natedog; 08-10-2007 at 01:48 AM. |
