Is there a lot of opportunities out there for ET's?
I wanna join the Navy for 4 years and i wanna be an ET, will that be a good career once i get out?
I'm still trying to make a decision between being an Aircraft Mechanic or ET, which one do you think will be a better career and in which one will i make the most money?

I was in the Navy..my husband is too. He is an ET. I was a GM. As far as you being in the Navy and which career makes more money...they are equal. You will make the same. As for getting out..an ET..but you may wanna pursue a little college in a related field. When you join the Navy, ask for an enlistment bonus. They will give it. If they say no, say no to them...they will break. I know people that have gotten $6000 as an enlistment bonus. If you don't know about it, you don't know to ask. Congrats on joining. It will be the best thing you can do for yourself. You can see 130 countries while your in the Navy-and your buddies at home are likely to even leave the county. Plus the Navy has a great GI Bill..(money for college) so sign up for it. Boot camp is a cinch, so don't worry about that. Really, its cake.
I wouldn't recommend Aircraft Mechanic, because you will have trouble with your joints, your back, and your hearing when you get out. Plus its very hazardous because you may work on a flight deck. You also may be stationed in Bahrain, Iraq fixing them, and you don't want that.
Choose ET, you will like that better. Great Lakes is where you go to boot camp and "ET-A" school...Chicago is a lot of fun. You will like it. Any other questions, hit me up..I was there so I know....nikke.reese@yahoo.com

If you have the ASVAB for it- go nuke ET and write your ticket when you get out. ET alone is probably better carreer wise unless you want to be a mechanic when you get out.

Look up what you need to know to get licensed as an A&P, what you will find is that they are kind of "jacks off all trades" Airframe and Powerplant. in the Armed forces any MOS will only give you a portion of what you need to know, hence on discharge you STILL have to go to school.
