Dear Geerst,
I am looking for some advice how to get prepared for enlistment in the Navy. I am currently waiting to become a permanent resident of the US and I have so much time in my hands. Worst thing is until I become a resident alien, which may be 6 months or a year down the road, I can not work, I can not go to school, I can not drive etc.
I would like to enlist and ultimately earn a commission after becoming a US citizen. Mainly interested in STA-21 program since I have no college. But first things first...
How should I prepare? I am going to get a ASVAB guide and study. On the other hand, how should I prepare physically? That is the question... I am sure there will be a physical fitness test but what am I supposed to do in PFT? What are the requirements?
My recruiter told me that I'd be going to Illinois for BMT, and I hear from people that they go to San Diego, are there a few Basic Training bases?
Since I want to get a pilot slot one day, and I hold a pilots license, my recruiter told me to go for an aviation job field, would that place me right on a aircraft carrier?
And my recruiter was very positive about my age (25.5 right now) that I have a chance until I am 31-32...
I always wanted to join the AF and become a F-16 pilot but now Navy really got me excited. I am looking forward to join the Navy...
PS. I have many questions about the Navy, but I think this is enough for now...
Thanks for your time...
God Bless...
