Supply is great! Although I shoudl tell you that I transfering to NFO... but to be fair I was NFO to start and had some med problems.
Supply is a wonderful community, if I had not gotten picked up by NFO I would have been happy to continue as a CHOP... with out a doubt.
I am currently the S-5 DIVO on a Command Ship... Supply types are basically the Business Mangers of the Navy. Everything from Planes, Boats, and Toilet paper involves Supply.
My job would take up a lot of space, so email me dircetly and I can give you a generla idea of all the differrent billets in Supply.
Supply school was pretty tough at first... there are a multiple tests per week and you are always taking about 4 classes at a time. Its the general Navy "fire house" effect.
Athens is incredible, especially if you are single, a lot to do and see. Great party town and terrific atmosphere.
You get your billet based on your grades and what is out there at the time you grauate... I will say this, everyone gets either their choice of home port location, ship type, or billet. In most cases you get at least 2 out of 3 of these. If you are at the top you can get what ever you want. It is a much better deal than any other community...
Take care and email me anything else you want to know... paynea@blue-ridge.navy.mil
