You should PM Rikao4...I'm putting him on the spot but he and Art lived that world and can provide insight.
The absolute key is to, as Rikao4 stated, get the MOS nailed...there is no worse place to be in the military than undesignated as a young enlisted person. Recruiters are in sales. They will help but you must be firm, which by all indications, you are.
Good.
I wish you and your son the best. A good friend of mines son, who I have known since he was born, graduated from the Naval Academy, was commissioned and went to flight school. His gets his wings in December.
His Dad and I met in Pensacola as student Naval aviators.
We were laughing about his son's trials and tribulations the other day and we came to the conclusion that we'd both start again tomorrow. No regrets, no hesitation. We had a blast.
It wasn't all good, but there are moments, moments as clear and brisk as the second they were minted, that I wouldn't change for anything.
