Sub_Guy said:Work hard in the navy? Sure there are some long days, but most days are SHORT.....I don't know of any job out in Civie land that pays as much for little work... It is mostly mindless work.............When you are at sea everyday is long, until you are pounding back drinks at Dukes, then it is all worth it. It is boring for the most part, but with only 10 years to go, I can work on another career...
20 Hour days in the NAVY...Only at sea my friend, alongside it is clean the ship, hang out and go home.......and you get a free lunch!!

I am considering joining the navy, but some people i know are scareing my away, by telling me that all that:
"the navy and military are is you work 20 hours a day, and only interact with military people in your work and social life.
you will no longer get to interact with the civilian world ever again.
You will be a working slave, who all that does is work and work and no fun.
Say good bye to your family as you will never see them if u have them.
your whole like what u eat and breathe is military"
Is that a true description, i totally hope not.
dude, i still party and chill with my friends from highschool all the time, have lots of contact with civis, the military changed nothing with my old friends, I guess its a good thing i got posted to my hometown. And the eat/breath military doesnt apply either, you still live the normal life in the military, dont let people scare you.
And yes i did look through the forums on here for answers.
Thank you once again, to all of your forum people
