Did you get paid? How hard did they work you?

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.

I think I may join the navy
