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.   | ||

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. | ||

Sure, being shot at is a deterrence to most people from joining the military, but it's less so in the navy. However, since you're training in the nuclear field, don't you spend most of your time aboard a nuclear submarine? I heard life aboard a submarine can be pretty stressful... I mean, it's cramped, you get little privacy, and your showers are literally like two seconds long, minus the soaping and lathering. | ||

I'm going into the Marines in May(Reserves, finishing college and earning a commission as a Second Lieutenant) and let me tell you, the Marines are the most underpaid branch of the military. Funny how that works, seeing as it's the most difficult. It has the lowest entry requirements of any organization. | ||

Actually ill be on an Aircraft carrier, you have to volunteer for sub and that's something I am cool with... Biggest thing about the military for me is spending time away from my gf for such long periods of time. | ||
