As an American, I'll say thank you for stepping up and serving.
As an Air Force guy, I'll say come join Big Blue when you finish your first enlistment.
As a brother, I'll see you on the other side.
Several people from my hometown area went in, two of them Navy...some of them Army, a few more Marines. Honestly, if I hadn't made my decision already, I'd probably have gone Navy. Beaches, port visits, travelling, etc etc. It sounds great.
Have you got your job/rating? (I'm honestly not sure what they call it) or did you enlist with an open contract?
