DO NOT go Airman, Seamen, or Fireman! That would mean you're undesignated and at the Navy's disposal. I recommend going CT because advancement for them is wide open. You can google the rates to get a good idea of what each one does. It is good to talk to people within the rates as well. Good luck!

Your possible ratings:
-special warfareboat operator (SB)-they drive the SOs to whenever they need to go. In other words, you have to be like the SEALS for this rating.
-mass communications specialist (MC)-they're journalist, graphic designers, etc.
-intelligence specialist (IS)-self explanatory
-navy diver (ND)-self explanatory
-explosive ordnance disposal (EOD)-better than AO (aviation ordance); these guys are the one who make, test, and disarm bombs.
-gas turbine system technician electrical (GSE)-you'll work with the gas turbine electrical systems at ships, like CGs, DDGs, and FFGs
-interior communications electrician (IC)-you'll be doing pretty much my job (I'm an AE), but inside the ship. Unlike EMs, ICs also work with the sound powered phones and other communication devices.
-mineman (MN)-self explanatory
-airman (AN)-undesignated airman. not recommended.
fireman (FN)-undesignated fireman. not recommended.
seaman (SN)-undesignated seaman. not recommended.
special warfare operator (SO)-SEAL
cryptologic technician maintenance (CTM)-see ya in Boomerz every weekend (a bar close to Corry Station).
fire controlman (FC)-simmilar to ET, but they are more specific, since they deal with the electronic system of weapons, like guided missiles and make sure weapons are on top condition.
OMG!!!!
You can be a SEAL?!!
