ChickenHawk 0 Posted May 16, 2002 yO OK, the Navy has delayed my interview on the grounds of my l33t skills and me being so damn good that they need a separate private interview + they have too many applicants. This means I cant join in September, it means that I now have to wait till January. So, I have 6 months of absolutely nada to do. What can I do to convince the officer guys that I'm worthy of a commission? I rang them up and asked them, their advice was to keep up with current affairs, don't get messed up in drugs and don't go to a fu*ed up country like Sierra Leone for aid work. I should also try to get a position of responsibility in a job or something. I asked whether I should join the RNR but they said don't kus its not worth it with only 6 months. So, I have 6 months, 2 A levels, 5 GCSE's and a pack of bud. What do I do? I would like to go and travel the world, or get some kick@ss job driving speed boats, maybe work for an adventure training organization. What job's have you had/done that you would recommend?
