what was the final straw in not making it a career?Planning on getting out in 2027 at 10 years with a bachelor's and 75-100K in savings.
With at least 3 supply certs.
Ship life as ship's company, which means that you're attached to a ship. As ship's company, you have to get damage control qualifications (firefighting shyt), do 3-M shyt (maintenance of the ship and it's components), get qualified to stand watches on your duty days, THEN do your normal job, while being excellent at all of it.what was the final straw in not making it a career?
Just do 4 years and leave.Ship life as ship's company, which means that you're attached to a ship.

The amount of work that needs to be completed on a daily basis while facing all of the challenges above on top of being undermanned is hellacious.
The pay isn't worth the work at all. shyt is trash. I'm an E-4 that works 9-10 hours a day doing low-level supply chain management (inventories, stowing, etc.) and mid-level SCM( typing up transportation forms, organizing & conducting large warehouse moves, managing warehouse inventory, etc.) for a net pay of $25,800 without allowances.
In Cali, I could be doing the latter for like 60-70K. Hell, I could transfer over to the GS side and make similar to that with my experience.
I'm at 4½ now. I need to pay off my debt before I dip. I'm not leaving until I feel secure enough to do soJust do 4 years and leave.
@Dave24 You still thinking about joining breh?
I hoped the breh was making strides in life accomplishing his goals. If he isn't that's a shame. Wasn't posting no "dumb shyt" i don't play that bullshyt, I want to see the dude do well I'm not on that negativity shyt
