A quick note on post-naval thoughts. I received an email the other day stating, pending funding, that there was a job opening up with Lockheed Martin at Surface Combat Systems Center, Wallops Island....or as most folks in the Navy refer to it, "The Fleet in the Sand".
I initially wrote back to the Lockheed Martin recruiter that I would just like some more information on the job, does it pay well, are the benefits good, is the travel at a minimum? General information that I could digest. I was sure to mention that my current plans are to attend school to finish my bachelors degree, but I would consider the job if the pay was convincing enough. That number would have to be substantial for me to consider giving up 6 year's worth of planning and anticipation.
Though, looking up the area that it was in was proving to be very enticing. A small area, a faculty of only around 300 people (military and civilian), local schools, and the ability to keep my clearance and connection to the Navy.
The adult trying to come out in me is telling me that I should strongly consider this job to support my new family, which altogether isn't a bad idea at all if it pays well. I suppose though that I'll wait until I am able to call the L-M recruiter to find out what kind of salary I would be looking at first.
Going back to school to finish something I started and get into a new career in the Recording Industry, or going on to a radar electronics career that I know will probably set me up for life?
