I must tell you, I saw alot of physically challenged people today, and these are young kids, they can't walk on their tippy toes, I mean, c'mon

Get what? The physics of aircraft carrier achor chains or that you're going to be like 3 in one oil for naval ships? ;)

Hopefully he gets assigned to a land base. There is no way they could compensate for the weight difference. He'd topple any ship unless they moved everyone and all equipment to the opposite side he's on. :laugh2:

Good Luck ya Squid ;)

I can't wait to see you sucked into an airplane engine. That is going to be HILARIOUS.

Congrats Bob, but remember one thing.

One or more of those "physically challenged persons" may have your back during a tight situation someday, so don't be TOO hard on any of them, 'kay? ;)

Ok...I know they're bugging you about your weight, i have no idea how much you weigh, but doesn't the Navy have a weight requirement just to go to basic anyway?

I know back when I was about 20, and thinking of joining, they told me that I couldn't be any heavier than 200 pounds (or 17% body fat) at 6'1" tall.

At the time I know they had a maximum weight, or body fat %, for each and every height that was trying to join.

How tall are you Bob and what was your requirement, if any?

Also major props for joining the military bro. That's an awesome commitment you'll be making.

You'll have to send us pics of you in your bell-bottom jeans and little white hat!

Uhhh, when you're talkin' about the Navy, that sentence has a whole 'nother connotation... BAD choice of words...

My brother took a Tiger cruise on the USS Carl Vincent, and I got to take one on the USS Enterprise. Funny thing is, the two brothers that didn't take the Tiger cruise, ended up joining the Navy!

Dad 21+ years, eldest brother 8 years, and second eldest brother is on his 21st year in the Navy now.

the Navy doesn't have their men wear bell-bottoms anymore, in fact they have a new uniform for enlisted men, it's the officer's brown shirt, but with navy blue slacks

There not referred to as Bell Bottoms. They are Dungarees. :)

Bobby Sac, On the serious side, what are you wanting to do after Basics? Any career fields in mind?

Yea, that's what they were. They are a wide leg and at the time, wide legs hadn't become fashionable, so you never saw them. At the time, they looked a little bell-bottomish, but I just looked at the pictures and the picture above is what he was wearing.

I'm not really sure what I want to do, on Wednesday me and my recruiter are going to go over the careers that I qualify for

but I'm thinking IT or IS

Intelligence Specialist is what I would have went in for, that's one of the many jobs I qualified for after taking my tests. It would have been a pretty cool job, no doubt.


Then of course terrorists had to blow up our buildings and my wife (we'd only been married a little over a year) who was pregnant and was going to have our son a mere two weeks prior to when I'd ship out for basic decided that she wanted no part of me joining. She didn't want me joining, leaving right after the baby was born, and then going off to war because of those bombings and possibly not seeing my kid for a year or more after he was born.

I caved on joining, which I regret to some degree, but these last nearly 8 years with my son are something I wouldn't trade for anything in the world so I guess she convinced me to make the right decision.

yeah, I'd put family over the Navy too, but I'm not married and I don't know any of my kids :D

btw, do you remember what score you got? I think my score of 84 opens me up to pretty much any job in the Navy, but I'm not sure

I would avoid these fields and go straight into parachute packing if I were you.

Are you going to get your four year degree compliments of the US Government? I have quite a few friends in and there is a sizeable difference in the career/pay of my friends that got their degree and the ones that did not.

Yeah 84 opens you up to pretty much anything. You have to score an 80 or better to get into the Nuke program.


My score wasn't as high. It was 64 or 65 which was still more than high enough and opened up practically everything but the nuke program to me.


I believe 31 is the lowest you can score and at the time i was told that the national average for the test is between 45-50 so I scored well above the average.


The great thing was I'd did that a couple years after high school and didn't study for the test or anything and scored that high. My senior year in high school, when we had to take it, I scored a 54 when I was attempting to do very little on it cause I didnt want them coming around and bothering me. Instead i got a 54, which turns out is pretty good, and I had a Marine recruiter after me for months.


But you scoring an 84 is amazing. Great score man. That pretty much opens up every door to you. There isn't much at all you can't choose to be.

hmm, but I hate math with a passion, and I'd imagine they stress that alot, along with engineering

it's funny though, because my dad was a nuclear officer on a sub before he went into the supply corp

btw, location is going to play a huge role in where I decide to go to school at, I would like to check out San Diego, and that's where the IT school is located

One of my best friends was a nuke tech and he got burned out. After he got out he could have gotten a nice paying job but instead he went in to the IT field instead.

I was reading about it, and apparently before you get posted on a ship, your schooling amounts to 18 or so months

they say it's really, really challenging
