Not just the navy. Hope you arent planning on joining for an enlistment bonus. Obama cut all bonus funding for all branches till 2010. Plus most of the ship out dates for branches is 5 months. There also becoming very strict on the requirements to get in, sense alot of people joined when the economy went south. Also for aviation in the AF i believe you have to be insanely fit, and be a officer! but the AF side getting in is all i really know!
