Unless you are going to an Oxford equivalent... Good luck getting that certified equivalent.

Might be a pain in the ass but the question is, is it working? Hmm I could go to Trinity College in Dublin, thats a really good school!
 
As of now.. Not working. I have an engineer I can't use as a result. Good thing he can drive a truck. His mom is Scottish, he went to school there, but his degree is so far worthless here. Can he get a job designing widgets? Yes. Can I use him to pass a hydro test? No. Due to legal reasons. The same reasons that will very likely keep the Navy from considering your degree US 4-year equivalent.

You want to be a Navy pilot? Go to a US school. How hard is that?

Also, I concur with NavyOffRec's assessment.

Don't worry about the GF, you are 17, odds are many will come and go between now and when you graduate college, or given the percent of people staying together forever from the age of 17 there should be more girls.

THIS..

Making plans that could EASILY screw your chances of doing what you want, based on a High School girlfriend? Dumb.

The odds of you being with HS GF when you are 40 are about the same as picking a 3 month slot when you will graduate OCS (if accepted), then successfully picking your Primary, Advanced, RAG, Fleet and Shore tour squadron/units by picking units (in a possible sequence) out of the possible and then actually going in that sequence. It's like trying to pick the NCAA March Madness bracket and at least getting the final four right along with picking ALL the losers correctly.

I'd not base my career decisions off of odds like that, especially when it is things you CAN control.

I can forsee one additional problem, I'm dirt poor and can't afford to go to college at home, it's free here!

I worked with a LT, what she went through to get to be a LT? She was knocked up at 15, kid and married at 16, divorced about 17 from her abusive husband, rec'd her GED, started going to CC, then started at 4 year college, picked up NUPOC, graduated with degree in BS Math and did this all while raising her son, if she can overcome what she went through you can overcome being dirt poor.

and for those that are wondering, she was decent looking, blonde hair and blue eyes, she could have had bigger boobs though.

But regardless the Girlfriend is here to stay, and the fact I have one shouldn't hinder me from serving my country.

She won't hinder you - if you want to be enlisted and not an officer. If you want to be an officer, you have to do it the Navy's way.

Just because you think it is a good school, it doesn't mean the U.S. Navy thinks it is a good school. You can take your chances but most likely when the time comes you'll get a "thanks for applying but your degree doesn't mean jack shit to us" letter.

You need to remember - you are looking to be a Navy officer, the Navy is not looking for you to be a Navy officer.

And at your age, you are an idiot if you let a girlfriend determine the direction your life is going to take. You do not have the life experience or maturity to say "the Girlfriend is here to stay". If you think you do, you don't have the intelligence or maturity to make it as an officer. You probably don't like or want to hear this, but that is the cold hard facts.

Looks like a lot of wasted typing here, as HAL noted, this young [poor] wannabee isn't getting the answers/advice he wants to hear... sooo, it's getting to be a simple waste of time. His, and more importantly ...OURS!:rolleyes:

Jacks,

I have an ex who went to graduate school in Moscow. Guess what American employers, private and public, thought of it? They thought it wasn't worth the paper her degree was printed on, that's what.

If you want to be employed in America, you need to attend a school that is accredited in America. Otherwise, you are throwing away cash by attending college in Ireland. If your goal is to be employed in Ireland, then godspeed, but the USN (and most gainful employment equivelant to your level of education in the U.S.) is not in your future.
