When im done high school, (3 1/2 more years now) im going out to France and spend about 5-8 years as a Foreign Legionnare ( if im taking in) , then when i get back home, Navy or Army...depending on how i feel that day..maybe Navy cause i love the seas
the only thing I wish I would have known is that all the rainbows and picnics depicted in the video isn't going to happen until your trained. Until you have your QL3 you're gonna be living on base and if you have a family you're basically SOL. 2 months at sea fine. 4 months on pat platoon and 10 months of training. All the while living in nelles block with 2 roomates you cant stand while your wife is 4000 kms away... Sucks.
The time I spent in the service instilled some things in me that I was missing before I joined. Discipline, respect, self confidence, ability to problem solve. I went from being a high school drop-out to being a Professor of Emergency Management. The Navy showed me how to set goals and then achieve those goals. I have a loving, happy family, two houses, an RV and last year I made over $100,000.00 in salary. By almost any definition, that makes me a success.
@MOreReptile You pick which job you want before even joining. The navy has dozens of different trades, all of which require different training. You become a specialist in that trade before even stepping on ship
i live in ontario and i want to join. how do they decide where you end up (east or west) i just came back from halifax and im not in a hurry to go back!
@MajBlood Because they try to push you in Basic to become a better person who can handle anything when your done. Think about it. There not gonna harden you up by calling you princess.
@COD5LOVER Yeh I understand that. What I was getting at is that the vid is misleading. It makes the Navy look like sunshine and lollipops to lure in poor kids who don't know any better.
@MajBlood Thats like all recruiting for any job. not just the military. Wouldn't get to many police recruits ether if the add says that eventually you will have to protect your own life by shooting some scum bucket dead just to spend the next six months having every bleeding heart screaming for you head. Or riot control with a bunch of shit heads spitting at you throwing things and trying to really injure you only later to complain to the press how you were excessive with force.
lol i loled when i saw how the guy held the controller @1:54
