Good luck.

SEE car salesmen plain and simple. That is what I mean. YOu have to watch your back. Do not sign anything on the first visit no matter how sweet the deal sounds. I have a rule of thumb for you. Get all of teh info you can and sleep on it for at least one day before signing anything. Double check what they tell you with on line resources and friends(like us), then you can make a reasonable, informed decision. Don't trust some one you just met and don't trust yourself once they start throwing benefits at you. If it is not in writing when you sign the dotted line turst me you will not get it.
You are correct SIr. The Navy does have the most punch for your efforts. I do not know why that is, but for some reason the Navy has always had the best offers in education and bonuses. I became a mechanic and on my second enlistment I received a "re-enlistment bonus" of over $10K. There are some that are up to $30K for specialized programs like Nuclear power billets. Money is the key. Why spend all of your parents hard earned money, when you can do this all on your own with the assistance of military programs. Let you parents enjoy their retirement with the money they saved. I am sure that they would gladly pay your way, but that is not the point. Your a man now so do it your way. If they still insist tell them to buy you a new car for graduating from Boot Camp.
