Getting Started With Your Recruiter
Your first step toward enlistment will probably be visiting a local Navy Recruiter. You and your recruiter will discuss your game plan before the Navy, what will happen as an active duty Sailor or Officer during the Navy, and what your retirement options will be after the Navy.
The Navy has special opportunities for you if you’re in or interested in healthcare, clergy, legal, nuclear power instruction or engineering. Whether you’re fresh out of school or have several years of experience, you can advance your career and earn competitive pay and benefits.

Enlistment Standards
On aircraft carriers, F-18 Hornets pull nine Gs in under seven seconds. That’s some serious speed. Launching your Navy career with your local recruiter delivers the same kind of adrenaline rush — and, if you’re into it, identical speed.
It starts with your local recruiter. For now, consider your recruiter your copilot. Your recruiter will be the one guiding and navigating you through the recruiting/enlistment process — ensuring you end up at your desired Navy destination. Before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s make sure you qualify.

Do they still have the rule if your the only son you cant go to combat?

[Whiteboy™]

I do not believe so. Call up one of the recruiting stations. (i am an only son and i am going into spec ops)

[neverenough]

I think he's reffering to people that have a brother that's been deployed not being sent out because on of them had to be able to carry on the family name.

My brother is in Iraq right now, and Im not in the Army, but if I were, I don't believe I could be deployed because I would be the only person that could carry on the family name.
