Yesterday 2 navy recruiters came to my house and we sat at our kitchen table and talked, asked questions, and learned a lot. Both were really superior and great guys.

I have not made a decision, nor will I for a couple of months. The thought of actually joining gives me a feeling in my stomach of already accomplishing something I never thought I'd have.

I will stay in contact and keep everyone informed. I want a couple of months to sit on this and really think about what I want to do.

Again thanks,

Did you ask them about Reserve/National Guard options? Have you talked to other branches? It is good to see all that is available . . . this way you can get the best choice for you when it comes time to decide. When you finally do remember to get your MOS and assignments in writing. Work on your physical fitness and take practice ASVABs to garuntee a higher score. The higher your score the more opertunities lay before you.

Don't be that one guy who is only smart enough to go Infantry, not that that isn't a respectable branch, and they do have the highest rate of promotion. And who cares that they call everone else POGs. If you want to be in the ****, go ahead, but I would recommend something more comfortable and that transfers better in the outside world (because there will be a time when you get back there).

Did you click on the links that I provided in my last post? Remember, they will not stop you from talking to other recruiters. And let them play the game against each other. And remember you can always go active from guard/reserve, not the other way around.
