Question:

Navy Seabees ! Help? U.T.I (Universal Technical Institute)?

I'm really interested in joining the U.S Navy, hopefully to be a Construction Mechanic (CM). Will i be able to get my ASE after my A-School? Or do i get it after my duty? And also what civilian jobs may i be able to relatively transfer to really smoothly? And also after the Seabees, im planning to attend U.T.I (Universal Technical Institute) to further pursue my career as a Master technician. Is it worth it? Or not? Any suggestions? Detailed reasonable answers are appreciated :)

As a CM you'll be working on everything from excavators and scrappers to semi tractors to M-wraps to bucket trucks to those little Honda water pumps. I don't think the Navy gets into certifying you for ACE as a matter of business, but you have your Chiefs of Alpha CO and the education PO of your battalion to ask and get help getting them. As far as transferring into civilian life, everyone is looking for good mechanics and hydraulic guys. If you get a chance to kind of specialize in something, look at what companies are screaming for and try to go to C-school for that. I don't know anything about UTI, so I won't go there. Be advised that Seabees require a higher ASVAB and line scores than a lot of rates and it's a five year commitment. Also they just decommissioned four Battalions due to 0bamas fake budget cuts, so it's going to be tight getting in.
