Mish, my sister graduated from the USNA and went into the Supply Corps. After she completed that portion of her training in Athens, GA, she shipped out to a sub tender based in Scotland for 3 years. She had several enlisted folks on her staff that literally were her lifelines (payroll, supplies, etc.) She is out of the Navy and still keeps in touch with some of those folks who were in the trenches with her along the way.
Underdog this is really a small world. The submarine I was on did all of our refit's out of Holy Loch Scotland, tied up to probably the very same tender your sister was on. I was there 1989-91 off and on.
Mish, the Navy is a wonderful place to learn a a skill, complete college and grow up a tad. I served six years and do not regret a moment of it. Make sure every promise said is in writing, never assume you'll get what the recruiter says will happen. Good luck...
You can not change your past, but you can ruin a perfectly good present by worrying about the future.
