Hey guys, I've been browsing for about a week and figured it's time to ask some questions.
Since I was about 15 (much older now) I always wanted to join the Armed Forces. I thought about Army or Marines but I heard their living conditions are pretty sub par compared to some of the other branches.
So I started talking to a Navy recruiter yesterday and he was saying that I could go enlisted or maybe go in as an officer if I meet all the requirements. I know there's a major pay difference but I'm more interested in serving for the honor/prestige so I wanted to make sure that the decision that I make is the right path. I know for sure I want to do aviation without a doubt.
Will I get more respect as an senior officer if I started out as enlisted first? Are the living quarters of enlisted pretty crummy compared to officers? When not on duty how do civillians treat you as enlisted/officers in aviation? Do girls give you more attention with the rank?
Hoping to make a decision before the middle of next month so any help would be great!
