![]() There's nothing particularly wrong about using a military enlistment to create stepping stones to financial success, but set your expectations to an appropriate level and expect to put in a ton of hard work to make anything good happen. A lot of SrA who sign up for 6 years that I've seen separate after 1 enlistment are only successful if they prepare for that change with a well thought out and well-executed plan. You can't just separate and walk right into any particular job, you need to start greasing the wheels at least a year out or more. The rest only works based on your planning. Right place, right time, right qualifications, right mission environment, right DoD contracts, right amount of chance that you are of a certain job skillset. Well that's just nothing that can be guaranteed. I imagine you have a mindset of join for 4 or 6 years with the intent of separating right away after that time and getting a high-paying job. A lot of the job prospects that you are probably intending to understand aren't even as a linguist. It's all anecdotal anyways so there's my anecdotal contribution. I joined as a poor person, I'm doing great now. But most dont show the other side of the coin, and i wish someone had done that for me I just caution because its easy for people who are done with it to say the training pipeline wasnt shit, just put your head down and get it done with, which is fair. If you are set on wanting intel, and you dont mind being in a training environment where you are treated like a child for 2+ years, and can get past working long/irregular hours, being a linguist/CTI can be rewarding. If you're intelligent enough to become a CTI/linguist, these jobs will be an absolute piece of cake and your work days will be normal hours and extremely simple and easy, freeing you to pursue whatever hobbies or academic goals you want in your plentiful offtime. I'd just join as a personnel, admin, or finance guy. I dont know specific rates for the navy but I do know that intel jobs besides CTIs generally have higher quality of life. TA is tuition assistance in the air force, you can use it without dipping into your GI bill, not sure if the navy has an equivilent program.
