Work is compensated suffering.

As a happy USAF retiree I applaud your choice. It's an instant career with ample opportunity for advancement and vesting in only 20 years (don't forget to use your TSP!) with the option to work longer for the pay bumps. Choosing the Navy (or AF, or Space Force or Coast Guard) serves the nation while limiting personal exposure to national strategic mistakes.

@johnbernal8308 You will notquickly make a competitive medical or retirement package on the outside in most cases because you'd still start on the bottom. (I've done industrial maintenance and its fun but the economy is feast or famine so I enlisted.) The smart play would be crosstraining to a larger AFSC to make rank because 20 years hits surprisingly fast. I enlisted during a recession and never felt one since. Crosstraining is fun and goes easy (I enjoyed avionics but crosstrained to escape Moody) and you can already shoot wires. If you get out after four or six the remaining years to 20 are trivial though mid-career it doesn't feel like that. I switched to F-16 engines (which I enjoyed but I love technology) but today I'd try to get into the drone world where my retired avionics bros make serious (as in north of 200K, I've known them for decades) and get stationed in good locations like Europe. If you're a CE electrician than industrial is usually the most money but that job stays on the road. The cake local jobs tend to pay less like most trades. Measure everything with money!
