I scored decent on ASVAB, I picked PACT because they didn't have all the other rates that i q'ld for open at the time. Like Lewis said, work hard. If your like me and a hard worker in the civilian life, you can prob make it a good run just like Lewis said. do good, work hard, you'll be OK.

Undesignated seaman hardly gets to see other rates. They mostly paint, clean, drive the ship, stand lookout and do pier security. It is ridiculously long hours and hard work. It is also extremely rewarding. I don't suggest anyone goes designated unless someone thinks they want to go BM.

Poor command leadership is to blame, forcing people undes instead of fixing the underlying problem is a huge hit on morale.

Thats my rate im going into as

I enlisted in August 1977 and joined specifically to be a BM (Bosuns Mate). My recruiter said I could have "A" schools or airman, seaman,fireman but I said BM. After bootcamp I had 2 weeks of seaman apprentice school, then directly to the newly commissioned USS Oliver Hazard Perry FFG-7. We just called this as un designated rate. At the time, the MAA rate was open to only E-5 and above who changed their rate to MA. I had a strange journey in the Navy. I worked as a mess management specialist for two years, then as a deck seaman and my last year was appointment by the command Master Chief (VA-75) as leading seaman of 1st Lt. Division. I had the authority of a E-6 But not the pay or rank. Long...LONG hours aboard ship...I felt more like a slave than a sailor. Completed 6 years, honorable discharge.

Man I had a really similar experience. When I enlisted I was supposed to be going to Nuclear Field School for 2 years of training... while in boot they said I hadn't disclosed three parking tickets I'd gotten from campus police at university and since they considered each one a crime :/ I couldn't get the required clearance. When I filled out all my paperwork my recruiter had told me that those didn't count as traffic offenses. :/ Editing to add... still had a valuable experience in the Navy just felt like I could have done so many more interesting things than unrated Airman. I would enjoyed things like working on aircraft, I'm great with my hands.

I’m going to MEPS tomorrow and qualify and want to do MA. But the problem is I have hearing loss in my left ear. I was wondering if SPACT could possibly increase my chances of getting MA while in the Navy. I sign my contract tomorrow and stuff I’m just worried MA won’t be there despite me qualifying.

Managed to find my old comment lmao, I got MA and thankfully didn’t go SPACT, my time in boot camp showed me that SPACT has some of the worst sailors imaginable, unfortunately good sailors get caught into the mix because they were lied to by their recruiters. My advice is to never go PACT anything.

Is it possible to go HM as a PACT-SN?

I heard that now in the Navy you cant be UNDES longer then 6 months anymore, is that true?

I’m a Pact-S atm, will I be able to strike for a Seabee rate ?

I thought everyone got stuck working shore patrol even me..... now there's a billet that resembles an army mp? A 3rd class as an undes? I thought the Navy tested to see what you were best at.

Well, he was Undes before he picked up MA, which is an MP in the Navy. Fairly newer job

Going into the airman apprenticeship program. Any tips?

Do they give you a list of jobs to pick from?

Austen, have you received arduous sea duty orders on a combat vessel yet? (EX) IC2 in Texas

Petty Officer Hope You Give me A Tip for The Bootcamp. I'll Be Shipping out To bootcamp Next Year Around May 19th 2021. And My Job Is Pact Seaman.

In order to select the MA rate before basic your math and WK has to meet the required score, if your go undesignated first and later decided to go in the MA rate would u still have to re-test in your asvab and score the same or what's the process going into MA as undesignated?
