JOIN THE NAVY TO SEE THE WORLD

Posted on FB: 9 February 2023

A popular phase used by the Navy recruiters and also often referenced in TV shows and movies. Being at sea for a month, far away from family and friends. You will definitely see the world, but remember, 72% of the world is covered by waters.

But is it true that if you join the navy, you have the opportunity to see the world...?

For some it's true... you have the opportunity to visit places you might never have had the chance to do without joining the Navy....

It also depends on where you are assigned. If you are assigned to a ship at sea, you will visit a number of countries in a short period of time...

And also some spent their entire careers in the Navy and never went to sea on a single navy ship. I have many friends in the Navy who were based on the shore the entire time... and even some were on the ships that never sailed that far... maybe within Asia and not the world, so to speak... some do "see the world," but only the sea of Singapore, Australia, Indonesia, etc....

For me, when I joined the Navy in the early 80s...the recruiting slogan was "It's not just a job...it's an adventure"...that is what I really LOVE most...an ADVENTURE...

"AHOY, SAILOR..."
