My apologies for much of the confusion as after re-reading my post I can see that it would cause much. I will add more as there have been some questions.
First, I have received my GED and have been enrolled in college, that is not an issue. The 15 college credits that I needed has been surpassed to the tune of 25. So schooling is not the issue as that has been taken care.
The item in collections, not that you care, but rather because you would rather accuse me, was purchased by my grandfather who I let use my credit card. Yes stupid, but it was it is. I have already contacted the company and am making payments on it now, but thank you for that advice anyway. The credit cards are all in good standing, with low balances and monthly payments. They were used while my wife is finishing her own schooling.
I went to MEPs today and knocked my physical out with success. While there is spoke with many people pertaining to these issues, and they seem to all believe that I should be good to go after they had me sign some other things and create a handwritten statement about it and such. They have all confirmed what was said, and it appears to be a no issue at this point with getting accepted to the nuke program.
I was expelled for a stupid act in school by writing some threatening things in a notebook. That has taken more time than anything else to get waivers for since I was taken to the police station. Just like the other problems though talking to the people at MEPs it is all cleared once my recruiter receives a D-term (correct spelling and punctuation?) back. They say this should be it.
The other big issue right now is waiting for me to go back up there and as my recruiter is currently being told to wait until next month for anyone to sign a contract from this area. He plans to take me up there next week assuming he gets my D-term back.
Yes, those two registered hours reading were pertaining to these things. A shame though that I did not register sooner as I have been reading on this forum for a couple weeks gathering information to ask my recruiter about things he had given me some wrong advice on, so thank you all for that.
Joining the Navy has nothing to do with the enlistment bonus, I have no need of it with a wife that is a MST and going to school to be an RN and graduates this spring (With a 3.97 GPA to boot)! It is something I have always wanted to do, just was waiting for my wife to finish her schooling. The time has to be right you know? The bonus was just something to consider.
I don't want to just enlist for something that I might not like. Reading about all Navy programs, the Nuke program interested me as did a couple other jobs.
Sorry for not writing in correct grammar or punctuation earlier. I did not re read my post or anything of such, do let me know if this is better.
Cute about the shift manager remarks, I employ shift managers who have to report to me as well as assistant managers and a staff of 55 employees. In context to the "Yes sir" comment, I do that with my bosses all the time, not concerned about it.
For the record, people from Chicago are much more tenacious as I have lived all across Illinois and parts of Michigan.
I do believe that I addressed all feedback and questions so I can receive more help.
Thank again to everyone for whatever advice was and is given.
