Im jobless and my college grades arent looking so well. I've gotten about 4 W's an f and 2 c's and 1 A i feel crappy because all my friends are already transferring and i've only gotten 14 credits done. I need 60 to transfer and so far im only taking easy classes. Im asian and i feel stupid. School is hard especially when you get an asshole for a teacher.
I feel so depressed. I plan to join the Navy get a good body from boot camp and discipline then travel the world to see beautiful women from all over the world.

Thank you for all your answers everyone. I'll just have to take it slowly. My brothers in the navy and he told me to Join the Airforce instead. Either airforce or work in the intelligence office with the navy

Is getting a 'good body', meeting Iraqi women and women you can't even talk, and traveling to see nothing but desert and water really going to solve your problems? Your not thinking right man. What you need is motivation and the Navy could do it for you, but you shouldn't join because you are depressed. If you join you will regret and you'll be stuck in that situation for a long while. What you should do is take a break from school, getting a crappy job anywhere working full time, and do that for awhile. Trust me, you will come to realize that you will want to receive a college degree after you find out the amount of work you do, the crazy hours you work, and the lousy pay you receive. You need to do that. You will want to get out quick and go back to college more motivated to get things done. With the Navy or armed force, you are trapped after you realized this is not what you want to do.

Hi,
Education isnt easy but it goes long way. the extra afford you put now, will be with you for all your live. Don't look at your friends, your saying your in college. Are you getting bad marks because your taking something you're not interested in? Why don't you take a semester off, think about what you want to do? This is what i'm doing. I'm 20 years, i was in a program which i didn't like so i'm taking a semester off to rethink where i have to go in life.
Don't just join the Navy because you feel crappy about education, Navy isn't a easy as well. I know serving the country is wonderfull and all, but you're be away from your friends and families. Navy's a good idea if this is what you wanted to do, but not if you cant do anythign else in life.
everyone's smart, you just have to think and start maturing up.

I was a Marine, and I had a similar story. I would highly reccommend joining a branch of the service, but I caution you: your depression won't end because you joined the military. Many people don't understand that the military is difficult, and can be very lonely (especially when out to sea for 6 months to a year). The stress level is high, and the pay isn't great. The friends you make will last forever, and you'll be thankful that you served, but the "body" you get from bootcamp doesn't last without hard work in the gym.
Take it from a "Jarhead", deal with your depression and then join the Air Force (they have better golf courses). :)

I've spent 7 years in the Marine Corps and as we all know the Marine Corps is the dapartment of the Navy and we work together all the time. You seem to have some good reason for wanting a change, change of lifestyle, change of attitude etc. Just make sure you are joining the Navy/ Military for the right reasons. It is a career of sacrifice that is not to be taken lightly. Just make sure it is what you want, there are ways to change your life without joining the military however I've seen the military do excellent things for people. Good luck!

The navy is not for everyone,just as military life in general is not for everyone.
If you think you need discipline in your life and the military can give it to you,then go for it.
After boot camp and what ever school(s) you go to before entering fleet service and depending on where you are stationed,you can take mail order courses to continue your education and add to the skills you were taught.
Although the Navy advertises it's an adventure,there is a possibility that you may never set foot on a ship or that you may be stationed on a ship that does not go anywhere except to local operations areas.

I completely understand. After 3 years of college, I joined the Navy (when I was 20). After my 4 year hitch I returned to college to finish my degree under the GI Bill. After I received my degree, I reenlisted and completed a 22 year career.
Good luck to you.

P.S. - Since my last 18 years was as a TAR (Training &
Administration of Reservists) stationed ashore
and I had a family, I opted not to become an officer
and go to sea.

Well, good luck. If you think college is tough and the teacher is not warm and fuzzy, get ready for a rude awakening! You have to be bright, study hard and have determination to join and make it in the Navy. The good body from boot camp comes from hard work, I don't think you are ready for that. Too immature.

The Navy is good. I did 4 years. Do it for your future though... not for "right now". Get an education, and training while u are doing the other things... think down the line

um... first of all, you should already be in pretty good shape even for boot camp, this is the NAVY SEALS. not freshman PE. also, you won't be spending all your time with women, for as long as you're in the navy you will be serving the US as far as your life, don't take it lightly. i suggest you get a job and try your best to get your grades up, try to stay positive about life and your teacher. the navy isn't a piece of pie, just so you know. it's not entirely your life anymore to go see beautiful women whenever you want, and you could be posted in Connecticut or someplace disappointing-if you pass boot camp and testing. good luck with whatever you choose.

Talk to a recruiter. Take the ASVAB test and see what you qualify for. They'll work you like a dog ... 80 hours a week when you're at sea and that's if nothing is going on.
