Actually, it sounds like the reverse, especially on the physical side. For us, especially with no physical activity, outside of continuous marching, in a vacation spot like SD, it was all mental. That part doesn't sound like it's changed at all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703989020987873762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283139291637178699.post-59919326922236601152021-05-12T02:35:36.299-04:002021-05-12T02:35:36.299-04:00How did you do?

Vietnam was still in full force, and the Navy had just shortened boot camp to 7 weeks. Therefore, a lot of stuff was packed into a shorter time period. The only Liberty that we got was after graduation. Then A School, or directly to the fleet.Rojotheredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10250547402603889594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283139291637178699.post-76631231163846412052018-06-11T22:28:40.524-04:002018-06-11T22:28:40.524-04:00The air force of the US was established in 1947 af...The air force of the US was established in 1947 after the world war 2.

And we didn't get to hear music until the second to the last day, and I remember how good Boston's "don't look back" sounded, and I realized that day how importantt music really is for me. One of our rdcs had trained seals, so we got screwed. But I'm so glad my navy bootcamp was one of the hardest tests I have ever passed. We also won first every in competition at the end. Oh, and no milk, soda, or juice, only water. And no movies. After graduation many other guys from other ships told me that they got to watch movies, drink soda, eat candy, get 7 or 8 hours of sleep and so on, and I remember thinking that they were the ones who got screwed out of a real character and strength building boot camp. Hopefully all you guys going in get a really hard good bootcamp - you'll never forget it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283139291637178699.post-81006983957961256052017-12-29T01:26:11.796-05:002017-12-29T01:26:11.796-05:00Ship life is definitely a grind.

But it's the best rate in the Navy, as you will get to report on the whole ship's activities, as opposed to being stuck in one workspace. <br /><br />Travel opportunities are probably about the same. The Air Force gets stationed overseas, but will work on one base. The Navy gets stuck on one ship for 2-3 years, but that ship does port calls in other countries.<br /><br />Yes all those opportunities are there for MC. We even have special schools you can get sent to in order to learn advanced technique.<br /><br />No problem, happy to help.

One MC I know even designed his own comic series for a ship he was on. Another ran a website at a shore command. And absolutely everything you learn as an MC will translate, especially if you decide to get a job with the U.S. government.

Anyways, from your experience can you name a few pro's and con's from being an MC in the Navy? Since you say that an Air Force Photojournalist is quite similar to an MC in the Navy, do you think that you would travel more as an MC or a photojournalist in the Air Force or are travel opportunities are similar in both branches? Also can you possibly train in other disciplines while as an MC, like animation, illustration or graphic design? I do not want to bombard you with many questions but I really do appreciate you time to answer, I am just attempting to gather as much info as I can.

The good news is you WILL take lots of pictures, as photography is the main job out in the fleet. The other good news is you won't do much broadcast after A school, unless you really want to. The bad news is you won't be able to avoid interviewing. Some days you can just shoot photos but other days you'll have a story assignment so you'll have to interview in order to write it.Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493183049080739575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283139291637178699.post-8271466346337628052017-12-12T15:53:05.042-05:002017-12-12T15:53:05.042-05:00Hello Glenn, can you tell me the difference betwee...Hello Glenn, can you tell me the difference between an Air Force Photojournalist vs. a Mass Communication Specialist in the Navy? I wonder if they are the same, also as I read the description and duties for Mass Communication Specialist on the Navy website, I was not really interested in all the aspects of the job. I am specifically interested in photography, not too much on broadcasting and interviewing, I wonder if you could possibly master or focus on certain aspects like photography as an MC?
