Navy.  Enlisted (joined as E-3, due to my BA in linguistics).  Looking to submit my officer package at E-4 or E-5.  2011-present.  Headed to basic training in less than six weeks.  Then off to Monterey for language school at the DLI.  Title:  CTI (Cryptologic Technician Interpretive).  Going to do something with my life!  Hooyah!

USCG 1962/66 Boatswain Mate. Aside from 13 weeks boot camp at Cape May I spent my entire hitch at Moriches Lifeboat Station on Long Island.

Speaking on behalf of my brother http://www.head-fi.org/u/57330/libertad. Navy, enlisted since mid 2010. Currently a navigator working on his dolphins, if you know what that means then you can get an idea of the kind of job he has. Can't really tell you what else he does because I honestly don't know.

Welcome!

Just retired from the Air Force late last year, now a blood-sucking contractor.

Actually in the Navy that could mean two different things entirely but I think I get it.  He's a bubblehead.  Always wanted a submarine, got a tank instead.  

Yeah pretty much. Sad thing about it is that he can't really take any of his headphones with him...well he can but they'll probably get snagged on some pipe or get screwed up somehow so he had to swallow his audiophileness and get a bunch of cheap earbuds. I don't think you'd risk bringing some expensive cans down several hundred meters below the sea. He's the noobie, too, so he still has to go through his qualifications which is like several bibles worth of pure technical text. Funny thing is that he practically knows how to drive a multi billion dollar submarine..and yet still doesn't knows how to drive a car. Never gonna let him go for that one.
