Yes.......make sure you get signed up with the Military apprenticeship program (USMAP) and get your journeyman's license. You'll have employers beating a path to your door.
The Navy has a lot of great opportunities for you. If you don't like being an ET, you can change jobs after a couple of years to do something that is more interesting for you.

Yes. You'll learn a lot about electronics and get a security clearance, to boot. You'll see a decent amount of ship time, but that can be a good life if you let it. I also think the Navy is short on ETs, so promotions will be fast if you know your job well.

Hell yes, especially if you can get into the Nuke ET program. Keep in mind that you will still need to take civilian classes while you are in or after you get out to get most good civilian jobs after you get out. Of any job on the ship I would have to say that ET's are one of the better ones. The school they put you through is a *****, or was a few years back, however it is worth it in the end.

I'm not an ET, but I can tell you the ETs on my ship rake in some good money. And all of them started in the Navy!

Yes, but don't forget there are a couple of other electronic ratings such as Fire Control Technician and Sonar man where you will get not only electronic experience, but also hydraulics, mechanical, system testing and in Fire Control, missile or large gun operational experience. Both also provide excellent after service opportunities.

Your army recruiter will administer an inherent ability try which will instruct no matter if you meet the criteria. in case you do, you'll nicely make sure a slot contained in the ET coaching application. even if, in case you fail coaching, you'll then develop into "straightforward sport" for any and all open jobs the army would pick you for. also, truly good coaching sometimes calls for enlisting for time previous regulation.
