PAY
If you're looking for a career that provides you with much more than a paycheck, then look to the Navy SEALs. In addition to base pay, the Navy SEALs provides:
· Living accommodations or housing allowances
· Free dining services or food allowances
· A uniform allowance
· Full health care benefits
·
In addition, Navy SEALs at some duty stations are eligible for additional Cost
of Living Allowances (COLA). When you add it all up, your pay in the Navy will
go a lot further than the same pay in a civilian job where your basic needs
aren't already covered.
In the Navy and all branches of the U.S. Military, pay is dependent upon rank
(known as rate for enlisted personnel in the Navy) and years in service. Promotions
depend on performance and time in service.
Salary
SEALs receive normal pay and allowances, plus incentive pay for special skills and assignments, such as $175/month dive pay, $300/month SDV pay, $225/month HALO (jump) pay, $110/month special duty assignment pay and $50-100 a month for second-language proficiency.
