field that requires both technical and hands-on work. When I went to meps my recruiter handed me only one job which was EN(enginemen) and said that “not everyone can get this job). I read the description and thought it sounded kind of cool. I did want to work on planes but meps concluded that I was color blind and ruled that out. A couple of days ago I spoke to a friend that I’ve known for a long time whom is actually in the navy(2yrs so far). She is a MM(Machinist Mate) and has told me she hates her job and that mine is similar. She is giving me all this advice and claims that my recruiter is “a piece of shit” and that I’m too smart to slave on that type of job in the Navy. I value her opinion yet I’m not sure if it would be a different experience for me. I don’t mind getting my hands dirty but also I like to be acknowledged and rewarded for my triumphs. Can anyone assist me in finding other jobs in the navy that I may be interested in? OH yea, I looked on the board in my recruiting office on which Im one of only several BLACK PEOPLE. I’ve notice that not one single peron has my job and almost every other person is either in Avionics or Cryptology. Am I being played??? I would really appreciate an honest answer and some advice. Also I didn’t complain while at meps because I had to get several waivers signed off from things such as speeding violations and one petty drug possession charge. But what did bother me is that my recruiter kept saying that I’d get a “choice” of jobs before I got to meps. When I actually got to Meps, he only gave me one choice.

it could be the speeding tickets and the drug possession keeping you out of a better job. the AF won’t even take someone with a record and its very hard to get in with any moving violations at all. With a drug possession I am surprised they took you at all. Not everything is about race.
