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 and you go to work, you're accountable for your actions, and you are expected to follow the laws of our country. You will have numerous opportunites for travel, and will be expected to represent yourself, the Navy, and your country with pride and decorum.
One of the many areas of interest covered extensively in this web site are Navy pay and allowances; the page describes the various monies that can be earned if you are filling the appropriate billet. Also, you can directly check out the current 2010 military pay chart (base pay) for both active duty and reserve, and get an idea how much money you can make as a minimum. I also maintain current news for 2011 military pay; follow the 2011 budgetary progress as it relates to military basic pay, and with it being a mid-term election year, it should be very interesting!
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 height and weight, ASVAB test and other basic requirements for joining the Navy and get your career started!
Once you have selected a job in 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. I 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 port of call.
I host free military clip art for your use and enjoyment in my gallery. If you have items you would like to share, please email me the item, with a complete description, at owner[at]navycs.com.
Navy CyberSpace Blog
Read my Navy blog. I pontificate about many topics relating to the Navy and Navy Recruiting. I have written in-depth articles concerning Navy medical waivers, the Navy DEP, MEPS drug and alcohol testing program, and even how to cook Navy bean soup. Also, the blog can keep you current with the United States Navy's Selective Re-enlistment Program SRB policies, as I write new articles when policies change and even go back to old articles to ensure the data is current.
