Answer 2

1: No you don't choose where you go. You can put in a request but that doesn't mean that the request is going to be granted. Their needs before your wants.

2. Yes you will see all parts of the world. Hawaii, Japan, Guam, Italy, Greece so on and so on.

3. Typical day is 7-(3-5) depending on your job. Then you go do whatever you want. Being active duty they keep you in shape doing PT around 5 in the morning for a couple days a week.

4. You can meet people just like you can in the real world. Marriage is something I can't predict for you but sure.

5. Showering with guys is something you're going to have to lose the fear of. It happens for 8 weeks in boot camp. One you get out of boot camp privacy comes into play a little bit more but by then you aint going to be afraid to shower beside another straight man anyways.

Answer 3

You can request sea duty

You go to ports all over the world

Answer 4

1: Can you choose where you are deployed and are you always on a ship?  You are not always on a ship but you will be for more years than you are not.  You can not pick where you deploy too, you only have some say about what coast or base you get orders too if they are available.  The rest you have no control over.

#2: Do you get to travel all around the world?  You really do, my dad went around the world and my husband has seen about half of it so far.

#3: What is a typical day like?  clean and get yelled at.  It depends on your job really.  You could be fixing things, cooking, cleaning, etc.

#4: Can i meet a girl and/or get married?  Yes, and yes but you need to get permission to get married once you are in.

#5: lol do you have to shower with other guys, cause if so, im stopping right here.  In boot camp yes, after that no, there are curtains.
