He speaks the truth. Im currently active duty in pensacola, fl. Corpsman hardly ever make rank because its so locked up. Like a lot of people have said, you do get to see some amazing places(if you go to a ship) and meet some of the best people youll ever meet. I am an air traffic controller, and i love it. Plus, I know i can carry my job very easily out into the civilian world. What ever you do, pick something that you want to do, dont be "forced" into a job that you do not want. The recruiters and detailers will try to talk you into a job that the navy needs right then or has a spot open. If worse comes to worst, just wait, that rate will eventually open up.
