Review:

The Navy is a very organized military branch. I learned responsibility, more about the world, navigation, discipline, honor, courage, commitment and much more attributes for me to grow. Although it was a tight work space for the most part every got along ok. The management is like every place you have your good and your bad leaders. I enjoyed by far the most is the traveling experiences I got to go on. Im only 24 and I’ve been to about 13 countries.
