"I have worked for the US Navy for the last 20 years. It was a great experience and I would not change what I did for the world. If you have any thought of serving your country, the Navy is great career to look into. It has an opportunity for just about anyone out there. If you like computers and messing with the latest and greatest weapon systems then a Fire Controlman is the way for you to go."
