I accepted a U.S.civil service job in Sembach, Germany, not sure I should go - help!?

We Answered:

I suggest that you may contact your German employer and seek extension of joining time in view of certain unforeseen and unanticipated factors beyond your control and assure them that you will positively join them say after 45 days !!
They will hopefully agree for this

Seriously considering a career in the U.S. Navy...when I graduate naval boot camp, what "rate" am I?

We Answered:

First, you are automatically an E1 the first day of boot camp. You get advanced to E2 six months later, automatically, if you keep your nose clean, and 6 months after that you are advanced to E3. Getting advanced when graduating from boot camp has nothing to do with your ASVAB score.
Now, you can graduate boot camp as an E2 or an E3 if you have some college. I am not quite sure how many credits for each rank.
As for your asthma, you would have to check with the doctors at MEPS.
As for the Navy being a good lifetime career I am extremely biased. I spent 18 years in, and it was the greatest decision I have ever made.
The Navy will not only prepare you for other jobs on the outside but it will teach you leadership and discipline. Most company' see that as a great advantage when hiring. They know that someone from the Navy has those attributes.The Navy has hundreds of jobs that will prepare you for careers when you do get out.
Well there is my "recruiter" speech. Being enlisted you do not resign. You just do not re-up or re-enlist at the end of your enlistment.

Why does God not want me to be a firefighter?

We Answered:

It's not God. Just keep it quiet. It's ok to do that. People with HIV have the same problem as do people with epilepsy. It is difficult to get and keep a job if you have a chronic medical condition. This is not their business.
