That's the main reason I can't be a Navy recruiter. I was told I was too honest and upfront that the Navy might run out of money for the sign-up bonuses, schools, and advance training my recruits will get
.
I joined the Navy in the Philippines when the Navy base was still open. It was a hard process compared to what recruiting is in the US. Out of the 1500 who took the initial exam, only 18 of us made it to San Diego for bootcamp. I was already in college at the time so the ASVAB was a joke. It was for high school kids. Nonetheless, I scored a 98 but can't go into Nuclear school, officer programs or advanced technical fields because I was not a US citizen.
I don't regret anything though. I'm happy that I reached my goals while in the Navy. Free education and the ability to have my kids use my G.I. Bill entitlements is a very big plus. Besides, the Navy gave me the opportunity to get another college degree for the cost of my books.
