Hell yea! Since I'm married I get paid 3 times what other sailors get paid over here just from allowances. Free medical/dental for life, ridiculous life insurance (for obvious reasons) housing is paid for even if you choose to live off base, you get allowances for food. When I go out to sea I get sea pay, hazard pay for combat zones, family separation pay and more. The pay is definitely worth it, especially since the Navy is wiping out $21,000 of my college loan debt. On top of that, if I want to work on my masters degree it's all paid for, same thing for my wife.
I have no complaints.
