Thanks Ren, and yes we decided on Navy, he talked with recruiters from the Army and Air Force as well but neither of us were impressed with what the Army guy had to say and the Air Force guy kept trying to convince him that he should be a mechanic, which he has no desire to do.

I'm familiar with the NEX, as we used to get stuff there back when Jake was still his dad's dependant, and I knew where he was going for boot but everything else was pretty new info.

We've got a good idea of what nuke entails, as that's what his dad did, the money is awesome (the signing bonus alone is more than we both make in a year), you are pretty much guaranteed an easy time of getting a job when you get out, and he would have a good chance of successfully applying to become an officer (as he has a degree, he just also has a shitty GPA), but there is a reason why, even with all that, it is still a high needs area. The job can royaly blow. Honestly I will be pretty surprised if he doesn't qualify for CTI and I know he, and his recruiter, would be too.
