So I know in one of my previous notes I said I wanted to be in the Navy and fly jets, HOWEVER I have changed my mind for several months now and I'll tell you my reasons why...
So first let me tell you why I changed my mind. In the navy, just like every other branch, they have requiremens for basic training. Each branch has different requirements, so if your looking for information for basic training on youtube or whatever and its not about the specific branch your looking into DON'T follow it. Because what it does is confuses you about what to bring and what not to bring to basic. Every branches basic training is different. So if your looking for info "make sure" it is in your branch only. It'll save lots of time. So anyways I made the mistake of doing that and I missed key points that ment alot to me, requirements in the Navy that I diddnt know were there. Among those requirements, as a female my hair means alot to me, yes it probably sounds silly but as a woman whos hair does not grow back fast at all you learn to value your hair. From what all the "other" branches had said, you could put it in a bun and you'll be fine. But the Navy has kept the old requirement i guess and they require you to cut it above your collar or else they will gladly cut it off for you. So I changed my mind, but thats not the only reason why.
The second reason I decided not to is because There isnt a high demand for pilots. In fact many dont get in because only the highest scoring people usally get in. Its takes quite a bit of training also and to be honest I dont want to train for something and then not be garuanteed the job right away. So it wasnt a big deal since i have only a couple years still bout 2 and 1/2 so thats why I have time and a brain for right :) Anyways thats why I decided not to enlist in the Navy. I decided that I would research the other branches and see what I thought.
I did research on the Army. The most common branch people enlist into. I also have several friends in the army so I looked into it and Iv decided to enlist in the Army. Theres a wide variety of jobs and places you can be based at and the pay I think is the same. I just like the overall set up of the army and basic training seems a lil bit more true and demanding. It honestly looks and sounds fun in my opinion so I chose it. Im going to try and get based in alaska with my good buddy, he says its beautifull up there so hopefully they can get me ported up there and put it on my contract. But if you guys have more questions just ask and ill answer them, and ill update more later (:
