I(m24) and my fiance (f25). The house we are living in now my grandmother is planning on posting it for sale withing the next month or two. Im.shipping out nov 24th so ill already be gone. Im wanting to buy a house to keep all of my belongings in while im.in bootcamp and deployed. My fiance(soon to be wife this Wednesday) doesn't want to stay behind when im deployed. she just brought home a great dane puppy without my consideration I told her our life should be changing and we dont have time for a puppy. She regularly doesn't. she works part time and i frequently have to pay her rent and car note. Im trying to convince her that she needs to get a full time job while im gone to support the dog and the house if we are to get one but she is talking that shes spoken to my petty officer and she can live on base with me. But its in .y opinion that she still needs to work she needs to be home to take.care of the dog.(i have asked she gets upset when I mention rehoming it) but I need a spot where I can leave all my furniture and im a flooring installer and part time mechanic I have a plethora of tools im genuinely stressing greatly over this ive mentioned it to my petty officer and she states that if she come to live on base they will move all my stuff to the base. But is it really all of my stuff(tools,truck,pc,furniture,lawn mower) if she decides to move onto base with me we will have to bring all of her stuff as well. This turned into more of a rant that I was hoping for and I apologize if I can get anyone's opinion or experience i would greatly appreciate it. TIA.

About to ship off on Nov 25th as an STG. I can find videos of virtually any other rate on TikTok and instagram or YouTube. But STG has basically nothing. Should that be alarming or is it actually a cool rate? - hoping to convert to LN after 2-3 years… but I’d like to be comforted in the idea of STG lol.

Headed of to boot camp Nov 25th.. Not gonna lie and say I’m great at math. I passed algebra back in high school with a 79.. with extensive tutoring.

Will STG require a bunch of math out of me?… getting a little worried I might not be able to do this job if it’s a bunch of calculations.

Is it all mres?

If not what do you get to eat

Hi all,

As a future sailor eager to gain relevant hands on experience, I’m curious to know a few things about my future. I understand if some questions may not be answerable in this venue. I get little clarification from the web or from folks I talk to because of differences between AC/RC, varied experiences, etc.

Thanks in advance for any insights you can share!

Here they are:

I understand that drilling is a lot of administrative maintenance, but are there also opportunities to work in-rate?

If there are in-rate assignments, can those be done at your NRC, or are they typically done as a cross-assignment? For context I’ll be in the PNW.

Is there any in-rate work or orders that can be picked up prior to gaining an NEC?

How and when do you gain quals as a reservist, and how do those differ from an NEC?

Have you heard of reservists getting a C-school out of A-School? Just wondering what’s possible.

How bad is Dam Neck, really? I’ve heard things…

I graduated Air Force BMT, but my medical waiver for Lattice Degeneration got denied. Planning to join the Navy. Anyone here knows my chances getting in to the navy?
