Pros: Paid pretty much 24/7 and a secure job.
Cons: Most people have horrible attitudes, and like mess with others for no good reason at all.
Location: Norfolk Naval Station, VA
It’s a high paced, stressful job, but can be fun, if working with the right people. Unfortunately, I had to deal with people, with a short fuse for a temper. Aswell as others, who just wanted to make people do pointless things for no good reason at all. Others, who acted like we didn’t know what we were talking about, and looked down on us, and well, a combination of other things, that really made me not want to be in the military anymore.
