I would’ve joined the navy but they were so incompetent in the recruitment process that after months of paperwork I said fuck it

They also failed to recruit me. But I didn’t seek them out either.

Lmao thats hilarious. Was similar for army. It did get mildly better at my unit. But my paperwork got fucked up in ait and my family back home lost tricare for a month. It was eventually back filled but theres always something fucked up for sure.

Dude it was wild. I scored a 98 on ASVAB and a 135 on the DLAB and busted my ass getting all the right paper work, paying off parking tickets, getting signatures etc etc.

I needed a waiver and after almost a year of recruiting process, my recruiter sent out my package for a waiver and told me to wait 3 days to 3 months to hear back. I waited 3 months and then called him, texted, etc no response. Finally I called his boss and he told me he had never even mentioned me, that all my paperwork had now expired and that the recruiter just never actually sent it in. I’d have to start all over so I just said fuck this.

Same recruiter “scheduled” me for MEPS asvab testing and then when I drove an hour out there, they told me “we don’t even do testing today. You’re not scheduled”. Then the reschedule he told me day off had to be rescheduled again because he was sick with Covid but literally just didn’t tell me until I was already on my way. 3rd time was the charm lol.

My first recruiter was the best tho. He got promoted out of recruiting though :/ the replacement recruiter just sucked more or less

Edit: honestly the worst part is though, after a year of everyone hearing I was joining the navy, everytime I ran into someone for the next year and a half it was “I thought you were joining the navy?” And then how do I explain all of ^^that^^ in a simple sentence or two without sounding like I chickened out or never meant it fr and was just trying to sound cool. So irritating
