You want to stay away from undesignated, Aviation Ordance..

The problem with being a MA is that you will be a gate gaurd, or Brigg watch.. All the Military police now are mostly civilians on the Navy bases..

Take the Asvab and see how you do on it. The recruiter will try to get you into a crap job that they really need people for. Sometimes they give you a signing bonus for these jobs which is good if you just want to do 4 years and get out but if you want to make a career out of the Navy then your sorta stuck! I was a Aviation electronics tech and my 1st year was just schooling in Florida and Washington State. I have about 65 college credit hours from all the schooling the navy gave me.

If you want someone to go with you to talk to a recruiter just let me know. I dont mind going to see recruiters with friends who are interested in joing the military.

The aviation engineering jobs are split into 2 sectors... The guys who troubleshoot the Airplanes themselves and pull the radar boxes and stuff like that from the plane and the 2nd sector is what I did.. I troubleshot the boxes that those guys pulled to find the circuit board/ componant on the board that was bad.
