Join the navy man. If you're not 100% sure join the reserve first get your commission then you can go reg later if you like it.
The Navy doesnt really interest me, the funny thing is is that I dont have the qualifications to be a Engineer Officer in the Navy, but I have them to be a Engineer Officer for BP and be paid handsomely more.
In addition, the contractual lengths of services for the Navy are in the region 12 years, that type of commitment isnt right for me.
I'm looking into the reserve route because its ideal to get the best of both worlds and get one foot in the door experiencing it before fully committing. In regards to the Reserve Officer situation, I've read that you can go from civilian to Officer and its quicker than going the traditional route, but im unsure if one were to transfer to regular whether one would then have to go down the traditional route.
