Some people feel the need to be patriotic and to protect the United States form all its enemies, foreign and domestic. And when that call sounds, the US Navy will be happy to accept you. It is actually very simple to apply and be accepted in the Navy. You just have to find the right recruiter and the closest recruiting station to get in. The recruiters will be happy to answer all your queries.
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 a candidate can take the MEPS, he or she has to pass the initial requirements for candidates of recruitment. You have to supply very basic information like age, citizenship, dependents, single parenthood, financial obligations, educational background, drugs and alcohol count, and your medical, legal, and moral standards.
After passing the entrance standards, you can now take the MEPS and the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test, or the ASVAB. You can opt to go through the Recruit Training program after, or you can wait for a year under Delayed Entry Program, or DEP, if you still have personal businesses to attend to.
Most people would suggest you take the DEP to get into shape before heading out into boot camp.
