Hey, congrats on joining the Navy. I'm a ten year Navy veteran myself. I think you're going to have a blast. Have any idea what your rating is going to be? I was an Electronic Warfare Technician, (certified member of the Old Crows Association), Which means an EW, I basically sat in a refrigerated compartment all day long and stared at a CRT 18 hours a day until my eyes were red and burning, whilst drinking gallons of syrupy Navy coffee. (I was stationed aboard the USS Ranger, a Forestal-Class aircraft carrier. The Forestal carriers had a slight design flaw. The overboard discharge for contaminated jet fuel (JP-5) was just ahead of the main sea chest, a lage opening in the bottom of the ship that allowed the intake of salt water for the making of fresh water for the boilers and drinking. Well, JP-5 has a lower boiling point than seawater, so it boils first and condenses into the fresh water. It doesn't hurt the boilers or people for that matter, but it did give a decided petroleum flavour to everything, and made a little rainbow oil slick on the top of your coffee. There was one decided benefit, though. I never had a case of irregularity the entire time I was stationed aboard.
) Take care, and good luck!
