Things to Consider When Deciding Whether to Join the Navy
No matter if it's for the Navy, Marine Corps, Army, or beyond, joining any single branch of the military is no easy task, and neither is what follows if you actually get cleared for basic. As when joining any organization or systematic group, one must know the concerns and necessities inherent with the particular place, in addition to the people involved. For this reason, if you're leaning toward the Navy, my advice would be to not only to read up on all that you can in context with the history and the ideologies of the military branch, but to also soak up as much information as is possible when literally signing up.

Largest Naval Bases in the World
If there's one thing that America really, truly seems to love, it's showing off how much we spend on our military. Over the years, our military has become one of the most powerful in the world—and has spread US influence throughout the globe.

Hello, Bootcamp
We talked about it six months prior. I had six months to mentally and physically prepare myself. I knew what I was getting myself into and that it would be hard. Every day for six months I knew December 5 would be a dreadful day. Six months flew by and though we talked about it nearly every day, it felt like it’d never actually get here. But it did. Quickly.

Navy: My First Man Overboard Experience
I was a part of a helicopter squadron attached to the U.S.S Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier. Our motto was, “We Rescue. We Protect. We Deliver.” I never thought about how much weight those words carried until we had to put them into play.

Life as a Navy Wife
So I’ve been with my husband for a total of 9 years. We met during my sophomore year, his junior year, of high school and after he graduated he joined the military. Then I graduated and a year after that we were married. And here we are now still going strong married for 5years, have a 3 1/2 year old little boy, and a dog. Now that probably sounds like it’s all been rainbows and sunshine, maybe even a fairy tale right? Well I hate to burst your bubble but it hasn’t been...

Z Day Chronicles: Genesis (Pt. 6)
Commander David Miller led Jake, Dylan, and Cassandra to the Norfolk Naval Base, which has now been set up as a refugee camp. There were hundreds of survivors that had taken sanctuary there. Lines of blood soaked body bags laid outside of the gate. Only a handful of the remaining men, which consisted of different military branches as well as law enforcement, kept watch at the borders.

Z Day Chronicles: Genesis (Pt. 3)
Jake and Cassandra arrived at Chic’s Beach as the graduation party became more frantic with excitement. Graduates from Christopher Newport, along with other colleges all across the Hampton area, showed up to this party. A live band was playing on one end of the beach, and on the other end of the beach was a DJ playing a variety of tunes, ranging from Kanye, Bieber, Grande, and other popular names, along with a few rising artists like Elianna Rose, Danny V., and more. Tiki bars were set up along various parts of the beach, each carrying a couple kegs of beer, as well as a mixed variety of liquors.
