The MC's here in Sasebo have lots of fun. All they do is make commercials, take pictures and do interviews. And the building they work in is really nice. We have one MC who is ASF(Auxiliary Security Force).

Sweet, sounds like a dream job to me. A vacation more than work

I originally went to my recruiter with this job in mind. After they told me that it's aessentially a phantom job, that they've never seen assigned, I decided to go CTI. Unfortunately I missed the test score by 6 points for that job. In small talk with the navy liaison at MEPS, he asked what I'd do if I couldn't be a CTI. I explained the whole MC thing, and all he said was "anything is possible." Next thing I know, the job counselor (whom I've neer talked to) tells me they had 3 MC spots open up a few minutes earlier. In short, I was just rated for my dream job as an MC. I have never been happier.

Congrats!
I had a similar story and didn't think MC was an option due to the small amount of MC's in the Navy. Everything worked out for me and i couldn't be happier. I ship 20120926. So i will be in Maryland for our A school when you get out of boot (looked at your shipdate in the other thread) , but i will see you then! If you want a great blog about MC check this out http://usnavymc.blogspot.com/ Go back to the start of his blog when he was at A school then you can follow what he did when he joined the fleet, it was a great read. |

I know you wrote this a few years ago, and I know you aren't there anymore, but man, the Sasebo AFN commercials are SOOO much better than the Yokota ones! Yokosuka was pretty darn happy to get Sasebo's commercials - they crack us up!

I totally didn't realize how old this post was. Regardless, I'm glad someone else has this rate! Maybe we'll run into way other in Maryland!

I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to join the Navy, and I am really interested in this rate, and I've heard a lot of good things, but is there anything that you guys don't like about it..?

I want to join the Navy and have already taken the ASVAB. I can't remember my score but, I've spoken to my recruiter and he said I am ok for this rate. I've wanted to go into communications for quite sometime now but never found a relilable job to pursue it. I stumbled upon this rate surfing the web after tossing inbetween HT and AIRR. I asked my recruiter about it, he told me the same thing. Its far a few between with the MC job openings. He told me I could do the apprenticeship program and I would be guarenteed a job.. Is that true?

I originally wanted to enlist as an IS or CTR but I was told those rates were currently unavailable. However, they offered me this rate since my ASVAB scores were pretty good. I was skeptical at first but after doing some research and learning more about from you guys, this seems like I rate I could really enjoy. I've was an English major in college and I had always wanted to go into communications. This just seems to fit perfectly. Plus, the A school for this rate is only 30mins from my home!
As this rate is still relatively new and there aren't many people to talk to that are currently enlisted in the rate, I do have a few questions. I am enlisting as an E-3 since I am practically finished with college, and I want to become an officer. I was told I could apply for the STA-21 or another program similar to it. However, with the current "advancement bubble" would I still be able to enter that program and would I be an officer in the MC rate or a public relations officer? I know they train you in a number of different specialties in A school, but let's say I wanted to do something in public relations or broadcasting. Would that be something I would request, or would they just stick me where they needed me?
