  • Robbie in 2 Years.

         I wonder where we'll all be. I wonder if I should stay in the navy. What do you think? I have 6 months to decide. I have two options;

    (Option A) The main option, is to continue serving the United States in the NAVY. I'm covered with health and dental insurance, steady pay check every month, can also go to college but only 16 credits a year. Making my chances getting a degree twice as slow as it normally would, but getting 30,000 a year already after deductions. Already getting that fulltime money ya know? And i'm pretty close to ranking up to if i wanted to. I could make this my career easy. I'm actually set for another 5.5 years if i wanna keep going without ranking up.

    (Option B) Get out of the NAVY and go do my college thang. $48,000 tuition is covered with my MGIB.
             Path 1: Live in Jersey go to BCC and then my main college to do whatever major i want to do. Living with either my brother or roomating with somebody.
             Path 2: Live in Florida and go to USF or was it FSU and be close to my parents and probably have my own house. 
         With this option I would only need a part time job to cover my original bills and I would get my major faster. Whatever it is. I don't even know what it is yet lol.

    Option A sounds so much easier and better for me. I know.... i can live with it too, but i don't think i'm really happy with what i'm doing. Maybe if i can change my Job to a MC (Mass Communication Specialist) in the navy. i'll stay. Or if i get stationed in Europe, Jacksonville(FL), or California then i will stay in the navy for another 2 years or maybe 20 depending on how good it is but i would like to dye my hair red again lol. But if nothing goes my way. I'm just gonna bail out. You think i'm doing the right thing? we'll see what i do in August, or in January when i'm up for orders. What would you do. I like aiming for happiness but NAVY makes me  happy too. I'll feel like chicken shit if i didn't see what my art could do though. Thanks for hearing me out.

  • So from reading this I'm getting that Option A would be the "safe route" while Option B would be the "risky but more exciting route".  Decisions like these are always difficult.  Wish I could give some advice but I'm still finding out bit by bit the consequences when I had to make a similar choice a couple years back.  (I went the risky route).  Well I think you already got the gist of my story, I'll let you know in a few months how things are going, maybe that'll help you decide. =P

    In the mean time, good luck figuring it all out.  Come visit NJ again already dude.
