When you join the Navy the most anticipated part of the process is when you have the chance to sit and talk to the job placement classifier. Their job is to ensure the needs of the Navy are met by best placing you in a job you would be happy with and are qualified for. Keep in mind that the classifiers are showing you what is available. Jobs are available because a school seat is open - the school seat is open because there is a need for the billet in the fleet. forcing the issue and demanding a job that didn’t readily come up for you could place you in a job that is 100% manned making your advancement opportunities more difficult.
Having an open mind is very important!
