What kind of Navy careers are mostly on land?

Question

The Navy site says most of their jobs are on ships. Fair enough, but are there any jobs mostly on land? What about legalmen? It sounds funny for them to be on ships.

Answer 1

Wow, most of these people know NOTHING about the Seabees, join the Seabees! You won't be on a ship and that is for sure. Master at Arms do go on ships, even though they also are on land, but Seabees definetly don't go on ships, there is a 95% chance you won't go on a ship. My friend is a Seabee since 1999, he has not been on a ship not even once. It is very RARE that they do. You will be like a soldier building and fighting, and you will get send to Iraq. Seabees TRAIN all the time, they are ready to fight.

As has been said almost everything in the Navy will give you a possiblity of being on a ship hence the whole Navy thing. About the only one you can garuntee with is a recruiter. Legalmen is a great call if you want to go Law when you get put but they do have them on the ships. You have to remember when those ships are gone they opperate as a small city. If a spouce wants a divorce the sailor does something dumb in port or on the ship someones got to handle their legal afairs. Honestly sea time is not that hard especailly if you are a single sailor. You get to see parts of the world other never get to sea and you do it all with bounus pay instead of paying for it. Also many rates ae open to split times 6 year contract would equal 3 on 3 off.
Best thing to do is sit down and talk to a recruiter they are your best sorce of info.
Good Luck and God Speed

Answer 3

MAA is a for sure thing. Although every ship needs em too. Some ships have one while some of the larger onces have up to 30. Regardless of what branch you join they will do what they want with you. In the Navy you can count that sooner or later youll be on a ship for some bit of time.

Answer 4

Yes they have legal personnel on ships also. Most navy tours run like this 2 to 3 years sea duty and 3 or 4 on shore duty. If you dont want to be stuck on a ship dont join the navy

Answer 5

well are u talking about enlisted? if so seabee for sure i can think of, all other job do go to sea for alest period of time, is navy dude what u expect? however seabee if diff than most navy cause they don't deal with ship, they do alot of construction, some basic combat they do the most physical in the navy that's not special force, is equal to the marine Physical Exceserice amound i mean by 3 times week run 3 miles, 50/50 push up/sits up minum. Legalman well they do go to sea, cause for ships like Carrier and Amphious Ship obvious, Legalman u need to score in english vocabury etc.. obvous but ain't too much open also is tought advance rate. They rotation is very good compare to most navy rate i mean by most time in shoere than sea. i think for rate like CTI, is probably go the sea the alest cause they do is alot of translate. is very hard to get u must be had like nuke score to even get it, however is good advancement. best advance if u do well in school i mean by first in class(u get too choice u duty station some time even shore and u even get cap advance too).army kid u right master arm that goes to ship, is living hell job when they in ship wokring longerst hours.

As a RECRUIT you'll haven't any "scheduled" chance to demonstrate for Naval Aviator / NFO... Pilots are all college grads and officials. that's a diverse application AOCS (Aviation Officer Candidate college). the authentic key for a pilot is the clinical actual !! when you're not from now on a school grad... ask your recruiter / detailer about Aircrew Candidate college. it truly is for enlisted, besides the undeniable fact that the surely cost that is going there instantly from boot-camp is AW (Aviation conflict platforms Operator) who then fly in helicopters and stuck-wing plane as sensor operators. it truly is not any longer too confusing when you're not from now on a fat-body and performance some stability and swimming means !! a lot more desirable uncomplicated than the BUDS screening try which I took and exceeded for giggles. I went through Aircrew Candidate college in 1985 said with the help of RSS (Rescue Swimmer college). After A-college, SERE, some C-colleges, and Fleet alternative Squadron practise, I were given my Aircrew Wings in June 1986 and went to fly with an energetic squadron.

Answer 7

I watch J A G on TV.They seem to stay on land just west of Washington,DC . Pensacola Navel Air Station flys from an airport a bit inland.

Answer 8

there is no such thing. i'm a navy corpsman (a medic for some that don't know, look it up) i've been on ships, shore commands, and with the marines. look at it this way for every navy shore command parallels ALMOST whats on a ship.

Answer 9

You want to join the Navy but not go to sea.... Talk to a recruiter about the SEABEEs...(Construction Batallion)

Answer 10

MAA... Master-at-arms, is leaning heavily toward land-based. also... See-bee... construction. But, if you're really interested in staying on land, I'd join one of the other three....
