Experience at the Navy Recruiting Office

I share my experience at a Navy recruiting office. Please keep in mind that this was a few years ago.

I am now moderating the comments due to mature language. Write something insightful and your time won't be wasted.

so you didn't join the navy??

[RunUpStairs]

@ttranccoc123 No, I decided to go to college instead. I have a good buddy in the Navy ROTC so if you have any questions about that, let me know.

they didnt give you a Tshirt...

Im joining the navy in australia for honour and duty. and to protect the waters from terrorist activities.

its either one or the other your a civilian or your in the defence force.

next video you make think about who you talk about specially people who are protecting your country.

Good luck in college, do the civilians proud, but stay out of the defence force till you have learnt what they are there for.

I respect what militaries do, but I am against how they are used. I think the United States abuses their military the most. I am against the Iraq war and believe that our President should be held responsible for all the military and civilian deaths that have occurred. If I was to join a government agency that would risk my life, I would have signed up to be a firefighter. To be clear, I support our military wholly, but cannot support how our President has used them. Have fun in Australia mate.

It is sad to see the youth of today are not able to access higher levels of training and education, as evidenced by some of the posts here. However, serving in the military is a noble, selfless avocation for which few have the strength and courage. I applaud all who serve and wish that people would get the facts straight rather than ranting. You are sorely mistaken about the road to a commission and E-2s can not recruit. The individual with whom you "spoke" was a Second Class Petty Officer.

You don't "automatically" become an officer. You still have to go to Officer Candidate School, and a shit ton of officer training. They are going to just hand you rank bud....

Education isnt everything, I have been in for 11 1/2 years now and work on multi million dollar aircraft ejection seats, been to 11 countries, did 7 cruises on a carrier(two war cruises), made some of the best friendships, givin responsibility that very few could possibly comprehend, was part of something bigger than myself, have a family, and got a college education.

What did you do in the past 11 years?
