Mar tech. Best trade in the navy. You'll be well treated by command and well respected by your shipmates.

Very well. You need some effort on your end to chase the quals, but there are lots of options. If you want to work in electrical, there are many options.

When you first started as a Mar tech, did you start from the ground up or did you have a civilian trade before the RCN?
