Running head: MY CAREER LIFE IN US NAVY 1

Introduction

Very few people have had the opportunity of experiencing life on a nuclear aircraft or even spending a single day in the deep waters of pacific. Since childhood, I have always wanted to experience new adventures, and would not stop at anything until I achieved my objective. With this kind of ambition, joining the US Navy was one of the greatest achievements. I knew for sure that the challenges would be many, but was excited that I would keep on experiencing new environments and interact with many challenges each time. This mentality pushed me into joining the navy, and my experience so far has been one of the best.

The first training days were full of adventures, and my excitement rose to high levels. I kept imaging myself at the top of a nuclear power plant, carrying bombs and missiles, diving into higher seas and staying in submarines in deep seas for over a month. After the training session however, I later noticed that some actions were better said than done. As a new recruit, I found it hard to adjust to the new environments, and especially a time when we were sent on a mission to the pacific. This was the hardest of them all, because the environment was quite new and I had to find ways of adjusting.

Life in the Navy has changed my whole perceptive of life, and I learnt the importance of having a big meaningful goal and sticking to it at all times. The navy’s mission is straightforward, concrete and easy to understand. This is done in purpose, to ensure that everyone can easily understand and internalize it. Every person in the navy tends to have their own story, but all the people are proud of what they do. This is one aspect that I learnt the first time I started interacting with people who had worked for the Navy for many years. I loved to listen to their thrilling yet successful stories, and I learned a new thing each day regarding their inspirational base.

Competition might be healthy in many aspects, but life at the navy has taught me the importance of team work. We work together as a crew to run the hips and flight, and every person is accountable for their mistakes. Every person has a key role to play, and failure to do as required can jeopardize the entire operation easily. Through team work, a positive working environment has been created and I have made best friends there. Moreover, everything is monitored and measured to ensure that the performance is according to the expectations. All operations are done on time, and I have to admit that my time management skills have improved greatly since I joined the Navy.

Conclusion

Working for the US Navy has opened my mind to more opportunities than I initially thought. I have been given access to free education and healthcare for my entire family. Moreover, it has presented me with the opportunity to travel to almost all continents. I have interacted with many people from different racial and cultural backgrounds, and I surely know the importance of respecting people without any discrimination whatsoever. The challenges of leaving the family for some months might not be easy to overcome, but I feel that they are little as compared to the total benefits.
