I chose Airman undesignated which basically means for the first month after boot camp, I'll be chippin paint and able to chose from alot of jobs in the aviation field.

I'm sure you already know this but....... Get EVERYTHING your recruiter says in writing!!! Good luck and congrats.

O yea. And pick a rate (Navy's version of an MOS) that transitions over into a good civilian job. Airdale side has a lot of them.

I think if I like it enough, I'll stay in and make it a career. My girlfriend wants to career in the Air Force or Navy and retire with more years in than her dad had which was 26 years worth. He retired as a Senior Master Sargeant in Combat Communications and he scares the ^*&% out of me.

I got a print out of some different ratings and it shows how they are undermanned/manned adequately/overmanned and the only one undermanned is the AW ratings so the potential for promotions and bonuses come faster.
