I've been doing a lot of research on becoming an officer. Im enlisting into the Navy.
I am going to MEPS on the 29th of this month, (Medical screening and other stuff). I just took my ASVAB today, and am hoping to ship out in early September.
Thats one thing to think about when choosing a date to ship out for boot camp, do you like cold weather or hot weather or nice weather. Cuz you will be in Great Lakes, Illinois for RTC(boot camp) training. its going to be cold in the later months and early months, and hot and humid in the summer months.
Train yourself to where you can run atleast 2 miles without stopping.
Im running 5 miles a time right now, and im still kicking my ass with traing.
The best thing for you to do is to go down to your local recruiting office and have a face to face talk with them.

try to maximize your sign on bonus. going to boot right after high school you wont get that good of a bonus, because all of the high schoolers are joining at that time. you can typically double your bonus by enlisting 6 months later. I tkinda p'd me off hitting the fleet at the same time as people who joined much later than I did, and they got twice as much money as me too.
