Military Members, What would be your "dream job" in the service?

Old Rusty Pipe is dead on. Sounds like your nephew swore in already. Is there a reason why he chose the Navy over say the Air Force? If he was looking at 4 and out, the Air Force may be the better way to go if he can get in there. I know back in my day, when I was aboard ship, we worked first and second, then you had time for a class but work CAME FIRST. Maybe that has changed. The AF definitely works better for the "domesticated program" meaning combining military job w/civilian training. I talked with quite a few enlisted who wished they completed school (Bachelor Degree) before entering, they would have gone the "O" route. As for color blind, I know that too. Lost my right eye to a screwdriver at 5 and it kept me from helicopter school (landing helos) which was a big wish of mine.
