US Navy Nuke, Computers, or Arts %26 Photography?vincent



You have a lot to choose from. Math and computer skills can be used in many assignments onboard, from navigation to aviation support. The downside of these jobs will have you sitting at a duty station for most of your work day, inside the ship.



Photography can range from taking class pictures at Great Lakes, to working at the Navy News division, or assigned to record any sort of training on any ship. Your skill level would determine your assignment.



My advice to you would be to seriously think about what sort of working conditions you are best at. For example, if you like routine, knowing what is expected of you, and a somewhat stable enviroment, technical areas may appeal to you. That's not to say they won't be challenging. There also may be a year or more of A school before you are certified to perform the duties required.



Perhaps you may be inclined to be comfortable in ever changing circomstances. Photography could lead into travel anywhere the Navy is. You would have to work your way up to such a plumb assignment, and you would be expected to perform the basic duties of the situation you are working in. No one will assign you to take pictures on a flight deck until you are trained how to respond to an emergency. No one will assign you to take inflight pictures without flying time.
