The Navy

[Widow]

I was on the training navy base for a while for a school thing.
I don't know how it works elsewhere, but I'm pretty sure I know something about what its like in NZ.
It isn't all fun and games, and its a lot of hard work.

Think: Early mornings, late nights, and a non-stop day in-between.
Ask yourself: Am I mentally and physically prepared for this?
Also: Are you ready for one year of service for every year you spend in training? They don't make you pay in cash, its in time - meaning you are probably going to be looking 6 years in the navy before you start.

You will most likely be doing "peace missions", drug work, smuggling prevention, and visiting other countries - because they can.
I really doubt you will be fighting, unless another war pops up.
Even then, air superiority is more important then water.

I know over here, there is a long time in training where you cant go off base, and once you finish your training, you will be off overseas and wont be able to see them there either.

But; the pay is good, and it is a solid career path.

One day, I'm going to be joining the Air force (Not that NZ has much of one any more) and get my AME/LAME qualifications.

Make sure you know what you are getting into.
Its nothing like what you see on the TV.

But, at the end of the day, if you are ready to go for it, good luck!


Edit: Yeah, I'm bias to the Air force. It could be a lot of fun, I personally just didn't enjoy it.
