While I researched different colleges, I found that there were a lot of differences between them. Some colleges are are 4-year commitments and some are only 2 years. While one college may only offer a masters and bachelors degree in one major, another college may only offer an associate's. College is very expensive and tuition is rising dramatically each year which is why I would also like to join the Navy and get a free education. Although I would have to go to a college that offers NROTC in order to get tuition assistance, it will be well worth it. After I retire from the Navy, I will use my major and become a registered nurse. My goal in this paper is to inform the reader on what my plans are for after I graduate high school.

I’ve made the decision to be a Hospital Corpsman in the United States Navy. A Hospital Corpsman performs duties as assistants to prevent and treat diseases and injuries and accommodate health care professionals in aiding Navy and Marine Corps workforce. Being a HM in the Navy brings you many job opportunities when you resign such as being a dental assistant, EMT, and a dental hygienist. Some characteristics I carry that would make me a great HM are my ability to act and think quickly and my passion for caregiving. I have many reasons why I want to join the Navy. I want to do my part in making sure that my family and friends live in a safe and terror free world. Also I want to live the life I had always read about in books. I haven’t seen much in life beyond my hometown and the Navy offers a different kind of adventure than the average civilian life. I get the best of both worlds. The main reason I want to join the Navy is to serve my country in the best way that I can. Watching what happens in Iraq and Afghanistan makes me feel helpless and I want to do something about it. I believe that everyone should serve, not as a requirement but as a dignified duty they feel toward this great country and everything it has to …show more content…
The Navy's motto is “not for self, but for country” and their symbol is an anchor because they’re on sea most of the time. Basic training for the navy is in Great Lakes, Illinois and is only 8 weeks long. In week one you will swim, condition, march, drill, and attend navy classes. Weeks two is a confidence building week where you go through the confidence course, a course designed to stimulate shipboard situations you encounter in an emergency. Week three is a land-bound training ship where you learn everything from ship names, to first aid techniques, and to signaling with flags. Week four is where you'll have the opportunity to fire a weapon. When you've proven you can properly shoot a gun, you will be moved to the live-fire range. Week five is based on careers and where you want to go, what you want to do, and how fast you intend to get there. Week six is fire safety. You learn ship safety techniques such as how to extinguish fires, escape smoke-filled compartments, open and close watertight doors, operate Oxygen Breathing Apparatus, and carry fire hoses. Week seven is where you have to do the 12 different scenarios incorporating everything you have learned in the previous weeks. Week eight is graduation where you are no longer a recruit and can finally see your friends and family. The maximum allowable body fat limits are 23% for men and 34% for women. Navy reservists are
