Combat Engineer
I spent six years enlisted in the Marine Corps and I'm finishing my bachelor degree this Spring. The Coast Guard is my first option but I realize that the USCG has about as many slots per year as I have fingers. I'm looking at the Navy as a second option. I'm still single but I'd like to have a family in the future. I know that I could not ethically choose to be a Marine officer and have a family. Some people make it work, most don't. I have simply come to the conclusion that being a good Marine and being a good father/husband are not achievable at the same time. I question whether the Navy, with its extensive deployments at sea, is family-compatible or not.
