Watch this video before you Join the Navy

[@tommybasham-oo7qf]

Let me tell you something people, this is coming from a ten year Navy veteran, this young man is 100% correct on every thing he is telling you! He is not bullshitting you on anything, I wish to hell that back in 1981, that I would have had somebody like this to explain in depth the information he is giving you. Listen to him, don't think for one minute that he is lying, or making up bullshit, he is right on target on every single topic that he is talking about, consider yourself lucky that he is giving you the information that he is giving you!!

[@MidwayShooter]

1982 I joined non designated, I wound up in a squadron onboard USS Midway CV41, was it the best 4 years ever? Nah it wasn't but it was badass! I look back on it and it was a game changer for me. I'm 53 years old now with 30 years in public service. The Navy was good to me,not easy but good. ⚓️

[@MidwayShooter]

Judge Dredd you are welcome Judge. It was my pleasure ⚓️

[@colliercatomdivpccbcc1230]

1982? Capt. Charles McGrail was CO on the Midway in 82, correct? Good times . . .

[@michaelrodriguez1576]

@JTsuits you are completely right about this! when I went to megs I already knew what I wanted to do. I wanted either GSM,MM,AM,AD. they offered me CS,SH,BM,AND PACT. I told them no to all of those and they tried to pressure and guilt me into signing for one of those rates. As soon as I started walking out the door all of a sudden one of the rates I wanted suddenly became available. I picked MM and I couldn't be happier. thank you for putting out this great information.

[@JorgeL721]

Never stop with the navy videos if you don't want to. You don't "move on" from the navy. Once a sailor, always a sailor.

[@seancunn4089]

When I went to MEPS (1984) they did all the high pressure stuff that JT speaks of. They literally left me in room by myself to "think" about it. I got brought in and refused to sign unless I got specifically the job i requested and my recruiter said was available and I was qualified for. This is after all the medical stuff was completed. They sent me home saying that position was not available, next day my recruiter calls says there was an error and he will bring me to MEPS and that position was available. I refused and thankfully I didn't cave in because within months I ended up in a great job that I kept for next 30 years.

[@addicttedtoblood]

Most recruiters will tell you that the actual asvab is easier than the practice ones they give you, for example one girl from my office got a score in the low 90s on the practice but got a perfect score (99) on the actual asvab, I did 97 on practice and 98 on the actual test, and meps everything they could to get me approved for nuke, they even went as far as calling a coordinator from another area to get the paperwork approved (our 2 coordinators were on leave at the time), they will work with you to find something you like, but listen to him when he says not to let them pressure you into anything, you haven't signed your contract so you don't owe them anything, take as long as you need and do as much research as you can to find something you really want to do, and study for the asvab, it helps to know what they could ask you

[@raymundoserrano5140]

Agree with the last part you said. I have a degree and I wanted to test my chance in going in as an Officer. The recruiter I was with always told me that enlisted was better. He was making up things. I was the doing my research at the time 2 weeks of me doing my thing he just told me that I wasn’t ready and left.

[@johnstark4723]

Practice test? No such thing in my day. 95 with no sleep 😜

[@madisonpritchett8647]

What did you use to study?

[@zestyfruitloops6290]

Madison Pritchett id like to know as well, I wanna get as high of a score on my test as possible

[@TheJuaxo]

I scored a 37 on the practice asvab but got an 85 on my real one so the practice doesn't always mean that's indicative of your real score. I wanted CTI or IS but I got IT and im very happy with it. Make sure you know absolutely everything you can before you get there. I tried to and I had no problem smooth sailing. Facts. No caffeine sugar or alcohol within 2 days of piss test too

[@Thesexybeast4588]

TheJuaxo how is IT ? Trying to go into the field also

[@cassied2014]

I chose national guard but I may see if I can get discharged from dep with the army and go navy lol

[@pinksky932]

Oh my GOD! I wish I would've watched this before I enlisted!!!! You are absolutely right though. They try to tire you out right before you swear in. Before I went to MEPS I was up by 3:00 am, I didn't finish my physical until 5:00 pm. they didn't have the rate I wanted, but I had three people in my face saying "well we can't let you leave, you have to sign up, it looks bad if you leave without picking your rate" and they just KEEP GOING. you wanna think that you'll be coherent enough to make a rational decision, but you are just so ready to leave the office. DON'T !!!! know what you want ! Take a deep breath and TELL them what you want! All they can do say how they feel, but nothing else. THIS IS YOUR LIFE and one of the few times before you leave were you have a strong say in what you do.

[@tobystephens5499]

I didn’t do all the research I should have done before meps, I just got lucky with my job though. I got hospital corpsman and a 5k bonus and leave this month.

[@mjloaner]

Shipping out September 7th. Got stuck with IC, but I'm not gonna bitch and moan about it. Everything I've read is mostly negative but I chose my fate. Thank you for everything you've taught me and thousands of future navy sailors around the nation JT! It's been great

[@9999plato]

I cant say much about that. The one IC man on our ship didn't do much in his rate except for PMS and helped with Damage Control stuff. He was a good guy.

[@mjloaner]

9999plato Being undermanned is the biggest problem I've been hearing with the rate but I'll make the most of it.

[@AlecAndersen]

Weird i clicked on this video since i go to meps on the 5th and it was an Air Force recruiting ad that played lol

[@jordashstreams3990]

Just wanted to let you guys know how my meps experience went, I legit told them I only want aircrew. I am not really interested in many other jobs, I just want aircrew, now I'm not sure if it was luck or my stubbornness, but i walked out with aircrew :D

[@evanmcqueen4534]

JordashStreams haha that was the mindset I had! I wanted aircrew so bad... I walked out with AV

[@jordashstreams3990]

Did you say that youd settle and they were like here you go, or did they legit say we dont have it

[@RoronoaZoro-ed6mc]

whats the aircrew about?

[@HannahBananaxoxo105]

Yo same. Walked in wanting AO walked out with AV

[@cristianguerrero6690]

I wanted nothing but os and they wanted to give me QM my recruiter came back told me last minute he talked to them and got me OS

[@francisrozario8543]

thanks bro. I'm from Maryland and I'm joining the Navy during the winter. I've been watching your videos for 2 years and your videos really helped me to have the confidence to even go to the Navy. And, I really appreciate how real your videos are. Thank you.

[@arielnicole417]

The detailer at meps when I went to swear in for the navy was really chill and nice he didn't pressure me to go for any rate and im thankful. I got the rate of my choice(Gunners Mate) and Im so happy about that.

[@AlainTabangin]

I got a 32 on the practice asvab and 67 on the real test. The Asvab book really helps.

[@yankeetango]

I didn't know what I wanted to do after HS. Work? School? Military? I cruised through the summer but come September my old man said I had to make a move. A cousin who was like a brother said to join the Air Force. I went to see a recruiter. Two days later I took the ASVAB. Two days later I went through MEPS. Two days later I was on my way to Lackland AFB for basic training? WTF?! Pre-internet days. Didn't know wtf I was doing. Worked out, though, as I spent the next 22 years active duty and guard and loved every second of it. Lesson learned: Don't always have to plan, everything can and will work out!

[@navy4735]

absolutely great advice, get THE JOB YOU WANT....if you have to, go to another recruiter.......PRACTICE THE ASVAB etc....asvab for dummies etc....plenty of resources....study, study, study and PT...run, run, run. practice running.

[@warrenpuckett4203]

I used to volunteer to escape the mushroom locker and do anchor detail. Also gave me a chance to eyeball the corresponding bright spots on the screen with things that were floating (Anchor drops). So for MEPs 1. If can't pass a DOT CDL and stay that way for the time specified on the Form 4, maybe Mikki D would a better career choice. 2. Boatswain's mate is not bad, once you make BM2. 3. Bring $40 and 2 sets of clean underwear and socks (white), a good pair of running shoes and a jacket. Make sure that whatever you are wearing or have on you won't be some thing that won't be missed if it gets lost. You won't be needing civies for about 2 months. You will be able to keep the running shoes, but won't allowed to use them until the final PT test.

[@JumbletonPeatrice]

2 weeks after I went to MEPS, the Marines called me and asked if I wanted to setup a meeting. I have never heard a man sound so embarrassed over the phone after I told him I was already enlisted in the Navy.

If you ever did do that then just take a college class, get credits. Plus, a college class is usually about 2-3 months long. It makes up for a lot.

[@dhunterroberds]

I leave next month on the 7th for basic training for the Navy and I am going PACT Airman and it wasn't one of the jobs I wanted but exactly like you said, I tried to wait but they guilted me and kept pressuring me until I convinced myself to just go for it and I guess I will find out sooner or later if I truly regret it or not. I appreciate all the videos and amazing work you do JT! Keep up the great work ✌

[@jtmnavy]

Make It Interesting try and go squadron as pact airman ,, u'll have a good time

[@MrLadyjazsjunk]

JTsuits What about Aviation Ordinance?

[@crankymcgee]

I had to leave the Army recruiter...they could never give me an answer if my choice MOS was ever available. But they were really pressuring to just get me to sign something. They told me I was going to MEPS for just the physical and the ASVAB, then after they picked another guy up and we were on our way (i.e. I was basically trapped in the car at that point) they said "are you pumped up and ready to enlist?" Pretty dirty tactics.

[@treymcfarland9868]

That halo music tho!!!! Love you videos JT, I’m getting ready to go into the navy.

[@iamsuperperfect4605]

Most recruiters have tough rates hence why they took a recruiting billet(AO,CS,BM) so in their eyes you should take any job just to join.

[@dinosaurfan2409]

I made that mistake too feeling pressured and not having as much research about the rates, and I ended with a rate they said was really all they had available which was AO or be a CS. Not trying to insult the rate, but it wasn't what I wanted but after they explained the rate I was expecting to be around airplanes which I wanted, but I ended up going ship's company instead. Not trying to be a downer, but be sure to be aware of where you may end up, and make sure you don't give up with your dream job.

[@arielnunez3576]

Jt they just released the names of the missing sailors from the USS Mcain. Go check it out

[@SecretServiceWriter]

The asvab total score really doesn’t mean much, it’s the line score the recruiters use. As an example i only got a 62 total score but my line scores make me available for 90% of the jobs in the navy

[@orvilleshepherd9598]

I know that Korean guy you talking about he's Bendeen and yeah I saw the video too. he was blaming everyone tho lol

[@alexxcoxx5478]

I was pushed into chosing a job I didn't want at meps (AN/PACT) my recruiter told me if I didn't choose a job at MEPS I would have to go to another city to see a recruiter. So I got my recruiter to change my job after the fact. Lost a $10,000 bonus and chose a 4 year enlistment instead. I am going to be doing AD.

[@milkspiller99]

I hear they relieved the 7th fleet commander of his duties due to obvious reasons. It may or may not be due to his leadership but if it is I would imagine theres multiple factors that are tied into the recent incidents

Charlie E-3 Dude Pact school is easy and when you go to the fleet, you'll be doing the same work as BM's. Its not that bad.

[@tugoldo8279]

that's what I wanted to know, if I can get a rate when I'm striking whatever they can offer me.

[@9999plato]

Everybody gets to mess crank. No avoiding that (don't know about airmen). As undesignated you are supposedly going to get to try several things and should try and impress the chiefs and LPO's with your hard work and good work ethics. After all you are trying to get them to take you under their wing. Go out there and kick some ass.

[@TheWittFactor]

here's the thing, I had my top three jobs, but they shut me down because my ASVAB was too freaking high. They kept pushing me to do high jobs, so I dead ass walked away. Like I'm giving MY service and MY time. I may be stuck doing a job that I'll hate, and I'm not about that life. I went back to my recruiter after MEPS and was like "Look, this is what's up.You have my info. Hit me up when the job slot comes up." I passed everything, did everything, but I'm not finna work IT or something nuclear when I know it's not my passion/ something I'm not successful at. I will be miserable.
