Navy Recruiting: Men For The Sea

View PDF | Print View

Navy recruitment starts with a visit to your local Navy recruiter. Various US Navy websites have pages reserved solely for matching your zip code with a recruiter assigned in the area. The first step to do before enlistment is to gather information from the recruiter - they are more than happy to answer questions, and will do everything they can to help you understand what the Navy and enlistment is all about.

The most usual questions usually concern active duty and what to expect. The questions range from details on the tour of service to food, to education, benefits, vacation, traditions, and practices. Other questions include what happens after service like pensions and insurance and other services. It is assured however that you will be well accommodated and your questions answered.

When you've confirmed your decision to join the Navy, your recruiter will schedule you for a military entrance processing exam, helping you with the paperwork and the forms required for it. The recruiter will discuss your opportunities with you, and help you come up with an outline of your plan to reach your goals, based on your interest and experiences.

Before you can take the MEPS you have to pass the initial requirements for candidates for recruitment. The requirements are simple and consist of: age, citizenship, dependents, single parenthood, financial obligations, educational background, drugs and alcohol count, and your medical, legal, and moral standards.

After passing that initial test you can now take the MEPS and another one called the Armed Service Vocational Aptitude Battery test or ASVAB. After that you can head directly to the recruiting program or you can wait a year under the Delayed Entry Program if you have things to fix first before you enlist.

It's suggested that you take the DEP to train for the Navy. It is very strenuous and you'll need all the toughness you can muster.
