Navy Enlistment, Military Pay and Benefits
Before making a decision about joining the United States Navy there are some basic things you should know. People from all walks of life enter the armed forces and do very well. I don't think there is a single "type" of individual who excels over another. Like anyother job you get up in the morning and you go to work, you are accountable for your actions and are expected to follow the laws of our country.
One of the many areas of interest covered extensively in this web site is military pay and allowances. There is much more compensation available beyond just the basic pay but you can check out the approved 2009 U.S. military pay chart for both active duty and reserve so you can get an idea how much money you can make as a minimum. I also maintain current news and a prospective charts for 2010 military pay based on proposals from both the executive and legislative branches of the United States government. Take a look at a basic over-view of military benefits as compared to civilian job benefits. And do not forget about one of the best benefits of all, the no money down VA mortgage loan guaranty. After you have read all that and everything else the site has to offer check to see if you meet the ASVAB test and other basic requirements for joining the Navy and get your career started!
Once you join the Navy make sure you know what you're authorized to bring to Navy boot camp and get some advice about how to prepare physically for recruit training.
For members of the active and reserve forces Navy CyberSpace offers a number of quick reference pages like a directory of popular Navy publications and instructions and addresses and links to the 26 Navy Recruiting Districts to assist you in any communication you wish to have with a recruiting stations chain of command. Also maintain current sea pay, submarine pay and flight pay charts. Not to mention a useful military time conversion chart which you can use to see the required offset in relation to where you are on the planet.
Navy CyberSpace has now started its reach beyond the shores of the United States! Introducing the a section dedicated to the United Kingdom. The section is currently offering the UK Officer and Soldier basic pay charts effective 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010.
I am proud to say a majority of the pictures in our Navy photograph section were taken by actual Navy Photographers - Navy Ships, Aircraft, Weapons and Ports of Call. See photographs of Navy Cruisers,Navy Destroyers, Minesweepers and numerous military aircraft. We haven't forgot the big boys either, from the USS Forrestal, the first "Super Carrier" to the state of the art USS Ronald Reagan see these floating cities at sea or pulling into their favorite Navy port of call.

Navy CyberSpace Blog
Read my Navy blog where I will discuss many topics such as Navy Recruiting, Navy medical waivers, Navy DEP, learn about the MEPS drug and alcohol testing program or and even how to cook Navy bean soup. The blog stays busy monitoring the United States Senate's progress with the Retired Pay Restoration Act of 2009 (concurrent receipt) and the overall defense budget - not too much Navy stuff I won't talk about.
