So today I got orders to the Navys Non Destructive Testing and Radiological testing schools for welding. I don't leave until next June but I am fuckin psyched! This is a huge opportunity for me, weld inspectors make real good money on the outside(minimal experience, entry level positions start at an average of 50K a year) and my re-enlistment bonus is currently 30K for 4 years. Not bad considering just 3 years ago I was smoking crack, pushing weight, and robbing people. :spin:
