The Navy gave me experience and training.
My girlfriend’s mother had been in the Navy for 20 years. She told me what the Navy had done for her, where she had gone, and what she had accomplished. I decided to talk to a recruiter.
I knew exactly what I was looking for, and the Navy was able to give it to me. Actually, I got more than I was looking for. I am now a journalist working in the public relations field. In addition to producing brochures and press releases, I am designing web pages and practicing photography. Because of all my experience and the Navy training I have received, I am just shy of getting my bachelor’s degree in journalism. I plan on earning that very soon.
Now, I work in public affairs for “Old Ironsides,” USS Constitution - the Navy's oldest ship. How cool is that?
