So thanks to mister Bush I will now be making $43,848 my first year, and $51,025 to $57,432 after two.

Good shit considering I was expecting to make 30k a year when I enlisted.

Gotta love making $43-57k per year as a 20 year old college dropout!

Keep in mind this isn't counting excess pensions/allowances I will be getting such as Sea Pay, Flight deck, Special Duty Pay , Sub pay, Housing/Food/Cost of living/Clothes allowance.

All while I am training in the physics/nuclear field. Fuck college, you all are suckers.

I am going to graduate A school with a bachelors in applied sciences with a math and physics emphasis.

edit - but I plan on taking graduate classes while I am enlisted, they will pay for every class that I take so why not.

That doesn't sound too bad, but I can focus on my studies now without worrying about money and then look forward to having a much higher pay than you in the future. So I don't feel like a sucker.
No I'm never serious.

You can drown in the navy though.

Also, as you are studying nuclear physics - didnt the US send their own troops near the test areas to check the effects of radiation on soldiers?

Isn't it assumed that if you do anything applied science, there will be an emphasis on math and physics?

Damn though, that's a pretty nice deal you got going. Don't get shot.
