I'm thinking about voluntarily enlisting in the Navy after I finish my technical course. Some friends have already done that and came out much better professionally, but I wanted to know if it's still worth it this year or if things have gone downhill.
dude I think it's still pretty worth it yeah, especially if you're finishing a technical course! the navy gives you professional structure that's not easy to find out there, serious training and all that, plus it opens doors when you leave. the problem is you gotta be ready psychologically for heavy discipline and being away from home sometimes, but if your friends came out doing well professionally maybe it's the right path for you too! my advice is to talk straight with people who are in there right now to see how it is in 2026 for real, but honestly I see people coming out of that life way more prepared for the job market.
If your friends turned out well professionally it's always worth considering, especially if you're finishing your technical degree now. the navy still offers solid training and a name that carries weight on your cv afterwards, but it really depends on what you want to do next - whether it's an actual military career or you just want to gain experience and skills. i'm saying this as someone who works in security and sees a lot of people with that background: the discipline and the skills you get there are pure gold in the market. go check out the current commitment terms for 2026 because some things changed, but i'd say it still pays off quite a lot.
