If it were true the Hawaiian Islands would be overpopulated with US sailors. It may be something you can do in the Army but not in the Navy. You will get your permanent duty station for your enlistment based on the needs of the Navy, and you will not know that info until A school for your rate.

No that is not true for the Navy.  when you sign your contract you can get an "A" school in your contract, but not a duty station.  You don't know where you will be stationed until towards the end of your schooling (if you get an "A" school_

so i needed a 50, recieved a 50 on my ASVAB got a phone call 3 hrs later and went to MEPS 2 days later, i qualified, i am now a Future Sailor, i ship out as an EM (Electricians Mate) so IM IN!!!!!! i am super excited and soooo nervous at the same time. as for those of you whom knew abouth the troubles Buddy (my fiance) were having we did break up and are going to get our careers started and them if we are both still interested we might get back together we are not sure yet

Congratulations.  Join http://www.navydep.com to learn the ins and outs from the DEP point of view. Craig runs that and will steer you to some good links on there.

When do you ship?  Be sure to let your mom and other loved ones know about this site and check out the discussion, Things to Do in the Last Month Before Your Future Sailor Leaves for the RTC (clickable link). (The different DEP groups for each month can be found in that discussion.)

I am happy for you!  Good luck on your future naval career.  :)
