I also want to get training in other fields. My questions are:
Will I be a certified electrician when I am done?
Can I train in other fields also?
How much do you actually make a month and can you go more than just the two days?
What are the chances of getting deployed?

I’d ask my dad these questions, but he is out of town right now without a way to reach him and I’m too impatient to wait until he gets home.

My question is, when my fiance gets out of bootcamp, is he going to get sent straight to school/training for whatever rate/job he gets? We have high hopes for his ASVAB, he is brilliant with math and science, and we are hoping he gets into the nuclear community on a submarine. (He wants to be an electrician of some sort, like my dad was).

Basically, my question is, since we are married, will I be sent with him for when he goes to school and is there housing for married couples with no children? We’re both 23 years old, so we are still quite young and everything. I know all about how the movers work and all of that, and my mom is going to come and help me with that. But I know schooling will take 3+ months, from what I’ve read online anyway, and I didn’t know if I would be going with or not.

Also, can someone give me tips for becoming a Navy wife? I’m really excited about it, I love traveling and I’ve lived in VA Beach, Bremerton WA, San Diego CA, Kingsbay GA, Charleston SC, Orlando FL, and a few other places. So I’ve been to some of the bases and I’m confident in moving. It’ll be hard though, when he goes out to sea..
