Amen. Its a terrible job, that’s way too fucking difficult for what you make.
Between the years of intense training, rotating shift work, filthy/loud/hot enviroment, constant drills, ongoing technical training, testing, maintenance, qualifying and high pressure break/fix, it’s a real shit show. The job just beats you and beats you until you’re enough of an asshole to start beating it back.
It’s a systemic issue that the Navy doesnt care about. It does explain the 3% re-enlistment rate for the role though. When 97% of a rate opt Navy wide to end their military service after their initial enlistment, it ain’t the peoples fault.
