I have some time to leave the navy good 2 years and already planed on not relinisting. Navy has gave me no oppurtinies to move forward and now i am stuck with basic skills as a deck seamen. What kind of job can I get after I get out? Also..I do not want to join another service..I am sick of the sea..after watching it for more then 30 days at a time and only seeing land for 4 days then going back out and doing this for 6 months..

Answer 1

My suggestion, as you have 2 years before you get out. Sit down with your Career Counselor for your command. Tell him/her your concerns and find out what you can do to improve your opportunities in the civilian world. Remember, you'll also have the opportunity to attend TAPS class will give you more ideas on jobs.

The other suggestion I would have is this. If you are a Deck Seaman, that means you are unrated. You have every opportunity in the Navy before you right now. Talk to your career counselor, find out what jobs are available.

Have you completed PTS? (Perform To Serve).

Check into rates that are undermanned. Start thinking about what you would like to do, and look for rates that mirror those civilian jobs.

Yes, I know being out to sea can suck, but if you give it more than a year or so, the Navy can be a very, very rewarding place. I have been in for almost 12 years and I love my job, I love when I am out to sea, but I would, of course, rather be on shore with my family.

You have two years, see if you can get an "A" School with some type of skills useable on the outside.

I would suggest AT (Aviation Electronics Technician) "A" school and then Calibrations school. Skills from those two schools, both accredited and worth college credits, will definitely help you in the outside world. You may need to extend a year, but hey, it will help.

Good luck, send me a message if you have any other questions.

Answer 2

Re-enlist in the Reserves but check them all Air Force, Navy, coast guard reserves but with a guaranteed skill, go to school then stay home and drill 1 weekend a month. I am sure you know what are probably the good jobs

Answer 3

Go to school and take advantage of their college tuition help. Whatever job you are applying for, emphasize the things you have done to match the job requirements. Teamwork, sticking to the procedure, continuous improvement, suprevising adn working under stress could be use to just about any job.

Just remember the good actors get the job not the qualified people for it.

Answer 4

Coast Guard

Answer 5

Enlist into the US Coast Guard and put your head to the grindstone and you'll eventually learn something.

Answer 6

Go to college. They'll give you financial aid for being a veteran and also college credit units.
Check the veterans affairs office of your local college.
