my cousin was in the Navy, but I have never served, have you?
My nephew is at basic right now, he's going into communications and some other fields.
that seems very interesting, i would imagine a lot to learn, where is he stationed? 
We aren't sure yet - still in school - but then he wil work to project our force beyond our shores.
he's still at university? I lived in San Diego for some time, a very large Naval community there, Coronado Island was a beautiful are to be stationed
No boot camp for the Navy, then he has to go to communications training for them.
Have you ever thought about joining? I did when I was young but drifted away from that in my teen years
No, I'm afraid I'd be seasick as they use surface ships, subs, etc..
I imagine that would be a serious hindrance to joining the Navy
Yes I'd say so since most operations are river, ocean or something in between.
