Has Floyd signed yet?

ET comms on submarines = IT on surface ships... it's pretty similar, except submarines are 10 times harder.
You can volunteer for subs and probably get in. I don't recommend it though.

 

Yeah, how old are you?
If you would have tried to join in 08 it would have been easy.

 

Not sure if I can.

I have yet to actually represent my case to them. I've been trying to work vaguely around it.

But I haven't actually come forward with a felony charge. (Which I know if they didn't have so many people joining, they would easily grant me if they just read my case and understood what happened.)

 

This from a guy with a known *** in his avatar :rofl

 

22.

Yea. I've been trying since March 09.


I'll try if I don't get my **** to where I want it to be in a few years but we'll see.


I might even attempt to just go to a different recruiter and just tell them everything and have them send it to a lawyer it goes to.

 

You getting in is all based on how good your recruiter is. A good recruiter knows every loophole and every program.

 

I heard floyd is wearing a foley-catheter so it wouldn't be obvious if he pee's on his pants when he signs the contract..:yep Kidding aside, i think he'll sign.. He has to.... Its what you call checkmate..

 

Well it doesn't matter the recruiter because I was also charged with a misdemeanor hate crime that was UNCONDITIONALLY DROPPED because it wasn't ****ing true at all.


But the navy looks at CHARGES. I was never ever convicted.

FML.

 

Well, you're in rough shape, but there are some things you can keep quiet. If you were never convicted, I wouldn't even have said anything.
The military uses a lot of scare tactics, but they can only look so far. Do you live in a navy city?

 

I live close to SD but I'm in OC right now.

The FBI does a background check and they see juvi records. :|

 

it's not quite that thorough until you get into the higher security clearances. I required a full background check because I have a TS/SCI clearance, which is as high as it gets.
I don't think ITs need them, but if you are on the Radio side you might.
We do deal with all the crypto.

 

There's a standard FBI check before/during boot camp.

They go deeper when you take jobs with Crypto.

Etc.

I'll have a talk with another recruiter probably this month.

 

I went to school with a lot of ITs off of surface ships.
They have the LAN side guys and the RADIO side guys.
Make sure you talk to an E-5 in the rate you want before you go into any job.
You have to know what they do at the E-5 level, don't talk to guys on shore duty or recruiters for what job is good.
If you're into tech/computers/LAN stuff, definitely go IT.

 

I am big time. Love love networking.

 

Glad to hear there's another computer science guy on the board.
