Hi, am Jeremy.

Well, am not sure what all to put here about myself. I am almost 20. i didnt join the navy and become what "MOST" sailors are, well as far as the bad things. I joined because i needed a good ground to start off life and with the way jobs were going i had to do something. i play on getting out in 4 years when my contract is over. and hopefully by then i can start a family and spend all my time with my family because thats what is most important to me in life nothing else matter with out the love of friends and family.

Electronics are found in virtually every environment in which the Navy operates. You could repair and ride in many of the Navy’s machines, including helicopters (for Naval Aircrewmen), submarines, surface ships, and landing craft. This field contains a vast array of jobs, from encoding and decoding messages between ships to employing the latest test and repair equipment on Navy aircraft just before takeoff. As a Sailor in this community:

Skills and Training

The Navy is the leader in the highly technical field of electronics. I am taught the fundamentals of electronics through extensive on-the-job training, along with formal Navy schooling. I also receive extensive training in the operation of communications systems and in the installation, upkeep, and repair of highly sophisticated, computerized equipment and systems.

My extensive training also prepare me for a future career as a:
