We are deploying the beginning of January till the end of July if it goes good.. Worst part of deployments are the months before because we are basically out on the ocean all week doing trials and scenarios and then home on the weekends then we do it again and again and again it gets repetitive but it's worth it I leave I expect to return home as any military member does.. Pretty exciting stuff I could go on all day lol are you all done with high school?
Right on! And yeah I finished high school back in July. And hell yeah it's exciting haha. I wish I could have shipped out back in September with my friend, but he didn't go to bootcamp on an 03xx contract, I actually can't remember off the top of my head what he's doing MOS wise. But at the end of the day I'm glad I got my 03xx contract, and I'm glad that I get to spend some extra time with family and PT with other poolees and my recruiter.
And talking about the Navy I got a friend who is in the Navy, and he's a riverine. And he definitely enjoys it, hell he's been in Norfolk for the past year doing training and what not. It even sounds like you're having fun as well, getting to patrol the harbor on a RHIB. I actually never knew MPs did anything like that. :p
