so /k/ i'm joining the navy as a nuclear machinist mate, i'm hoping to get carriers and not subs as there is no women onboard submarines. What is it like on carriers? Anyone with experience? (Navy or Marines) Stories?

AO3 here, you wont get sub unless youre a badass. Carrier life is pretty interesting. At first you'll love it, love exploring about, in about a month or two, you will begin to hate it. people are dicks, and your job will suck. suffer through bro, well worth it, port is usually badass.

So why don't you just go on vacation in a port, without actually joining the Navy, then?

You joined the navy and you are concerned about the availability of women in your daily work environment?

As a submariner I beckon you to go submarines. Trust me, I'm an anonymous stranger on 4chan.

No but seriously, carriers suck ass. Also, you will NOT want to work with women on a ship... sub life is the way to go... however being a nuke MM on a sub isn't exactly easy work.

i'm really not worried about it, we're "engaged" but not getting married, because its a shitty investment for a title, i was talking to the recruiter way before i started dating her.

on a side note, i got meps on monday, so i'll pick my job then, got an 88 on the asvab so mattering on my exact line scores i'll have MM available to me

I watched "Carrier" the series. Is life on a carrier that lame? It seriously looked like working at a giant McDonald's, with more danger, and less freedom.

Not trolling, either.

nuclear field ET3 here. just finished the power school in Charleston SC. The only way you're getting on Subs at all is if you go Sub vol, otherwise it won't happen. Period. I will say this tho, your A-school is only 4months long, and your power school is even easier. You have no guarantee that you'll be a MM tho. The people take into consideration your wants, then they throw darts at a dart board to decide if you're an EM,ET,or MM

Nuke program is a ruse to recruit snipes. Carriers & Subs are absolutely the worse type of sea duty, but at least on carriers you won't have to deal with a bunch of messed-up screwy bubbleheads. This coming from someone who was recruited into the Nuke program as an MM almost 40 years ago (When conventional ships still ran on steam)

I would get your buddy to the recruiter now if hes only got a few months of high school left. Your going to be looking at a 6 to 9 month wait before you even go to boot camp. I got fucking lucky I signed up in February and only had to wait till May.

he's been to the office and putting in papers already, he'll have gone to meps before he graduates. It was weird we were friends on facebook and talked a bunch about metal and other shit blah blah, and the day i went to start talking to the recruiters (he didn't know i was going at all) he got a ride from school to the office from the recruiter to start talking to them as well, we were both like WTF?

Sub duty is all-volunteer, so unless you elect to "volunteer" not much chance of your being assigned there...
