Did anyone serve time in the navy on the U.S.S Magoffin?

This was a little before my time, but you might enjoy taking a look at the USS Magoffin APA-199 Veterans Association.  And sure enough Sam Rubin is listed as the officer in charge of Membership/Ships Store/Past President/Editor for the association.\n\nTell your grandpa the website is very well done.

For me it was when I made Sgt E-5.  I was already Supply Chief for my battery as a Cpl in a Gunny billet!  There was a LOT of resentment from the other SupChfs because they were all Staff Sgts and weren't picked fo the job.  My billet was at HqBtry 11th Mar, and so although I was junior in rank, I was senior in billet to all of them.  Once I made Sergeant, and brought the unit up in its inspections, I got the respect and deference I had EARNED, which is the best way after all.  Semper Fi, and THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

I was in Ft Hood for 4 years.  We just moved to Ft Jackson last Nov.  My husband is a Drill Sgt here.  If you have any questions about Hood, feel free to message me!

No, Mr. Fred McFeely Rogers was never in the military. This is a website that tells about his life. He accomplished quite a lot in his life.

Enter your info into this website with your San Antonio address and a recruiter closest to you will call you very soon...  I did this, and I received a phone call from my nearest recruiter the same day!\n\nhttp://www.navy.com/careers/enlisted/requestinfo/\n\nThree years later, here I am in Japan, saving a lot of money and getting a college degree...

I was on Camp Foster down the road from there Jan 2004-5.  Us Marines were jelous of the Air Force base.  They had better on base houseing.  (real houses, not the apartment towers) You didn't have to clear the table at the chow hall, you had a better PX or BX what ever the AF calls it.  Plus you had Chilis.  The only non-fast food American chain around.  Lucky.  It was nice.

I was in from 1989-1996.  There are positive and negative aspects of being in the Navy.  To answer your questions:\n-No, sometimes you may not be qualified for the jobs that you want or able to get security clearances.\n-If you want to be treated fairly or with the respect you think you deserve, forget it.  For the first several years, you are a low ranking person, and get treated as such.  Problem is, you are no longer protected by the U.S. Constitution, but by the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which has it's own set of rights and responsibilities.\n-Depending on where you are stationed, travel can be awesome.\n-If you are on board a ship, school can be difficult because you have no set work schedule, they own you and you work whenever they want you to work.\n\nOverall, I am very proud to have served.  Someone once told me that they would not trade their memories for a million dollars, but they wouldn't do it again for a million either.  I couldn't agree more.  Good Luck

I'm sure someone on here will no better but my cousin went to the Naval Academy and I believe he contacted his local Senator Or Representative first.  Then I think they help you along. I'm surprised it's not on their website.

I will approach your question with the assumption you are thinking of joining and want to know the pro's and con's. If you were aking if one was superior as a fighting force the answer is no they all have their roles.\n\nLet me say i served 7 1/2 yrs in the navy and had extensive experience with the other branchs as my technical specialty required that.\n\nNavy\nPro's The on base living quaters and chow halls  tend to be better than in the army or USMC. The speed of making promotions is above avg. The Technical Shools are top not and most of those skills transition well into the civilian sector. If you like travel the navy will give you the most opportunities.\nCons\nSea based duty. depending on your specialty you might have to spend extensive time at sea. away from loved ones in both peace and war time. this can  can mean 3-6 months at sea yearlly over a 2-3 yr sea billet assignment. Generally longer working hours when at sea is also a problem but then again where is there to go\nArmy\nPro's- largest of the services offering a wider variety of duty station. also they offer a wider variety of technical specialties than any other service. They also offer the best enlistment bonuses  as they have a harder time meeting their goals. As in the navy promotions are rather rapid as compared to other services\nCon's- The on base barracks and chow halls tend to be worse. You are more likely to be exposed to actual combat. Lower ranking members tend to get more bureaucratic treatment do to the size of the force. Not all of the technical training translates well to civillian workforce.\nAir Force\nPro's Technical training is top notch and most translate well into civillian employment. On base housing and food among the best and hey many of them get to Fly!\nCon's- making promotion tends to be the slowest of the 4 services. The range of technical skills is less than in army or navy\nUSMC\nPro's- They tend to treat every member down to the buck private with a certain dignity as marines that I din't see in the other services especially the Army. Their combat training is top notch and would serve you well if you were in combat.\nCon's Their chow and on base housing often lower than the other services. Alot of the technical specialties do not translate compleatly to civillian employment. They have the strictest recruitment standards of the 4 services. you are more likely to see combat as with the army. Lowest  level of funding leads to the  unofficial USMC motto "We have done so much with so little for so long that we can do almost anything with nothing"\n\nMuch depends on what your goals are. Are you gun ho and looking to get in the fight. Are you looking for technical expertise. Are food housing and travel a consideration. Only you can decide that\nIf you are looking to serve I commend you and I hope I have helped you in some way

I was in the Navy and on our Summer deployment in 2000 we went through it and nothing happened.  We even stopped in Bermuda.

Well, your question was probably not answered because it was very vague.  Asking about a specific " US-Navy security a guy," is a little crazy.  I mean, there are a lot of Navy guys.\nMaybe ask it again with a little more information, although I doubt it will be able to be answered here anyway.
