I actually placed a pipefitter a couple of years ago straight out of the Navy. He was a steamfitter on submarines for 6 years, and was honorably discharged about 6 months before he came to see me. He aced our written craft test, and I put him on a turnaround at $26.00/ hr working 7 10's. They liked him so much they kept him on maintenance out at that plant, and I believe he's still there. IIRC he worked as a foreman for them on their last turnaround - probably learned that leadership ability in the Navy, since he was 24 or 25 years old when I hired him.

You learn a lot more than just a trade in the military.

True. I don't know. If I decide to join the navy, then I will.
I just don't want to just jump into it without some thinking so see if its right for me.
