You might get a lot of negative replies on this website, I know I have. But that shouldnt sway your oppinion. dont worry about other peoples values. You know what you want. If you want it, do it.

I am joining the Navy too. I have processed through meps and my eye waiver for Lasik eye surgery was just approved! Soon I will have to take a Fitness test so that I can qualify for Aviation Rescue Swimmer. The fitness test is easy shit, so I dont think it will be a problem.

The Navy, these days, does not pay too well. I mean, they barely offer any signing bonuses and if you enter as an E-1 you will not make too much. But you have to realize you dont need to pay for food or housing, you have insurance, a steady job, and an opportunity to work up to better rank. When you are enlisted you can go to college for free. Which is a BIG plus. Anybody should take advantage of that.

I am joining as an E-3 because I have a bachelors degree. On Scene Swimmers can not be officers and so I decided to skip out on the officer candidate school for now. I would rather do something first and then become an officer later. Aviation Rescue Swimmer offers 15,000 dollar signing bonus and hazardous duty pay. Even the SEAL's only offer 15,000-20,000 signing bonus. When the jobs were in demand the bonus was higher. These signing bonus's used to be 40-50,000.

If you ask for my oppinion I would say do it. The navy is a great opportunity. The truth is that you can get your college paid for, possibly do some fun shit, and of course your resume will be 10x greater because of your service.

Me? Aviation Rescue Swimmer. I am an amazing swimmer and I am in awsome shape!

EOD Bomb squad. Thats a pretty interesting choice. You will get a signing bonus for that. Probably 15-20,000. You get paid in installments. I saw some pictures of the EOD bomb squad. It seems they travel on land over in the war zone and diffuse all kinds of bombs. I dont know if they work underwater or not. As far as special operations goes I know that there is Navy Seals, Aviation Rescue Swimmer, EOD bomb squad, and Navy Diver. I know that one of those or maybe even several of them are responsible for underwater bomb disposal. Underwater mines.

Dunno about that. My friend entered the navy with no education after 12th grade and started out at E-3. He also enlisted at the height of the Iraq/ Afghanistan war when demand was the highest and only got a 10,000 sign on bonus. I don't know where the fuck you got the 40-50,000 figure from. That's more than 90% of enlisted make in a year, even with combat pay.

The only reason you cant make it is beause you have a mental block.

If you think you can, then you will. Alot the Seal training depends on your effort. If you are doing pullups and you cant get the last 5. They will make you sit there and hang on the bar and try to get the last 5 until you are about ready to pass out from the burn/exaustion. In a situation like that you have two choices. Either drop off the bar and walk away. Or keep trying. Hang there and keep pulling. If you fall off, jump back on and pull. It is that kind of effort that the Seals want. They want to know your in it no matter how bad it gets.

old signing scale as he stated, my re enlistment bonus was $35,000, the
original signing bonus was $27,000 and that was more than 20 years ago,
the current job market has a lot of new enlistments

Im talking about bonuses for Navy Seals, EOD, Navy Diver. Not a standard seaman. And that was during the heat of the war in Iraq. Currently everybody is flocking to the millitary for jobs so the bonuses are way smaller.

The 40,000 was a common recruiting tool. I cant recall how many times I walked into a recruiting office and the recruiter would say. You look fit, Can you swim? Yes. Do you want to make 40,000 dollars? Yes. Would you consider being a Navy Seal?

I like my own dick yea. I play with it alot.

This is not my thread. But my reason for joining is because I want some quality action. I love firefighting and so I want to step it up a notch and be a rescue swimmer.

Who needs pussy when your jumping out of a helicopter into a stormy ocean. Fuck yea. If I make it out alive there will be plenty of pussy to come. Plus, like I said, its free education! I want another degree so this is perfect for me. Kinesiology.

Not quite as exciting, but my uncle was a Fire/ Rescue Marshall in the airforce back in the late 70's. He saved a lot of pilots when they fucked up their landing.

Later on that led to a job as Fire Chief for BP (I know) in Prudhoe Bay Alaska. He works 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off and they fly him up there from Anchorage. He makes around $250k a year.

But FUCK, -40F temperatures, no amount of money could lure me into a job like that.
