My son was a Yeoman for 5yrs in Pearl Harbor for 3 and in Lemoore, Ca. with the Black Aces where he got to go out on deployment with his suadron, thr Plack Aces. It was an awesome experience and his c.O.'s and Chiefs encouraged him to better himself and wanted him to be an officer. He applied for and got a NROTC scholarship and now will be commissioned as an officer in 2 years. You just never know where that initial job can take you. You moma s are right to encourage them to get all the training they can. My son is getting a free college edcuation out of it and now has his sights set on becoming a Naval Flight Officer. If he sticks with it, he can retire in his early 40's. How many of us retired in their 40's? I am still working at 52. HaHa!!With the economy like it is an djobs scarce, the Navy is great employer and they encourage education and training to better oneself!! Good luck to your sailors in their future endeavors, I am proud my son was a Yeoman!!

My son has been a Yeoman for 9 years now and he really likes it. He is currently stationed at the Pentagon getting ready to transfer to a Shipp out of San Diego.

Anyone familiar with the Defense Courior Division? They take on YNs as couriers for classified documents:
"A courier is entrusted with America's most highly classified and sensitive information. In addition to over-the-counter service at our stations, couriers escort and hand-deliver classified material to customer locations throughout the world. A large percentage of courier missions are one-day (out and back); other missions may be two to three days or longer. Deliveries are accomplished using a multi-modal transportation network: contracted commercial flights, military airlift, or surface transportation. Couriers also perform additional duties not directly mission related, such as station operations, administration, and vault duties. Each of USTRANSCOMs Defense Courier Stations is unique in its duty hours, number and duration of missions, and additional duties."

Lots of travel. Duty stations are all over the world. More info at this link: http://www.transcom.mil/dcd/?page=navy_pers.cfm
Sounds like interesting work. Not your typical 9 to 5 office job.

Any recommendations of what rates might be the best ones to get into? Preferrably ones that do NOT require combat???....

My son loves being a Yeoman and will be attending Legal training in San Diego later this year. He has also trained as a master helmsman and several other things. That way when reinlistment comes up if they want him to change rates he will have fall backs.

You're welcome, Janet. It seems with our kids in the Navy, it is our job to be the optimist for them!
