US Navy reviews

Early leadership experience, challenging and exciting assignments, important work for the nation, good compensation, superb travel opportunities. The Navy trains you very well for every position and then gives you more authority and responsibility at an early age than you can get anywhere else. The leadership skills your learn also instill confidence in you so that you are comfortable in any situtation. You learn how to handle stress, manage time, and delegate responsibilities in a team environment that produces real results. The technical training is superb and sets the standard for the military. The Navy's focus on detailed understanding is far superior to that I have observed in other services. Finally the comaraderie in the Navy is execellent. On a ship we really operate closely together and are a very tightly knit group.

Full Coverage Health Benefits is a very nice benefit. Furthermore, signing up family members is very easy and low cost. Multiple types of allowances. The Navy compensates you for many things, from job, location of work, any specialties you obtain, etc. Job Security- Especially in times of a slow economy, the military is always around. There aren't lay offs. Promotion is largely merit based and self controlled. The Navy provides opportunities and possibly money toward obtaining further education (undergrad, grad, etc)
