what is a good job in the navy?

Answer 1

Intell & Nuke are 2 of the BEST

Answer 2

The Submarine Force offers the top of the Navy's enlisted ratings: Nuclear Field Machinist's Mates, Electrician's Mates, and Electronics Technicians; Missile Technicians; Electronics Technicians (Communications, Navigation, and Interior Communications), Fire Control Technicians, Machinist's Mates (Auxiliary and Torpedo Systems); Sonar Technicians (Submarine); Independent Duty Hospital Corpsmen; Yeomen; Storekeepers; and Culinary Specialists. Submarine Sailors are better trained, better fed, and better paid than the rest of the Navy. As a result of relatively small crews, the entire crew is cross-trained, and you never stop learning. If you want a good job, tell them you want to earn a set of dolphins.

Oh, and don't buy that go Air Force, Army, Marine stuff. Sailors have sea stories, and are known world-wide for their adventures. When was the last time you heard an air story, or a dirt story? Yeah, that's what I thought. Go Navy.

Answer 3

There's a lot to chose from. Honestly pick which description you think sounds the most interesting.

Many people join and then cross rate to a different job after getting to their ship. It's hard to say what rates in the Navy do. You really have to see it to know. It takes some time to cross rate. You can't just do it whenever you want or go to any other job you want. Don't have that as your primary consideration but just kind of as a back up plan and to know it can be done.

I think your best bet might be to pick out a few jobs you are interested in from the list and ask your recruiter to contact people of that rating. There should be some reserve bases around with plenty of guys who were recently on active duty. Hopefully you could talk to some people personally or over the phone. The short blurb in the Blue Jackets manual really can't tell you anything about what you'll really be doing.

You could even ask on here about which jobs you are specifically interested in. There's lots of Salty Dogs here who I've seen running around.

Answer 4

Generally pursue training and work in electronics fields, since later you can find good paying jobs in the outside civilian world if you get out of the military.

Now if you are up to it you can go into the nuclear propulsion fields like nuke machinist mate, which has a training pipeline that will get you pretty close to a 4 year college degree quickly.

In the end get all the training they offer you since in getting the training from the Navy is one of the big pay off of the service.

Currently I am a manager of 16 personnel here in the civilian world and a position as electronics engineer for a large corporation in Rockland County NY, largely in part thanks for getting all the years of training received while serving in the Submarine Force in the Navy.

So go for it and good luck, and always remember anyone can do anything if they want it bad enough.

Answer 5

DC, CS, ET, FC, IT, HM, AT, AE

Each job in the Navy is important. It all really depends on what you like to do. You can make the most of any job and have fun doing anything. The most important thing to enjoying your job is the people you work with. If the people you work with suck, it won't matter if you have a good job or not. The ASVAB will also tell you what types of jobs you will be best suited for. Don't push for a job you are not suited for based on the ASVAB. The ASVAB may seem lame, but it is right on when it comes to telling you what type of jobs to stick to. Good Luck.

Answer 6

Any job in the Navy is good. Go Navy!

Answer 7

A good job is one you enjoy doing. There's something for everyone in the navy.

Answer 8

My Brother was in the Navy for Aviation Electronics and once he got out it opened many doors for him in the Electronic world and at 35 he owns and operates his own Electrical Company... He attributes all that to his Navy training... I hope this info helps guide you... Good Luck !!

Answer 9

Admiral....but my take a while to get there... actually depends on what you want...big ships like Carriers have real live Admirals so discipline is 24/7...also enough firepower to destroy half the planet , so that's a good thing...smaller ships, a lot more lax, but always pray for good weather, waves are HUGE at sea...THE BEST...Submarines...great food, great quarters, lots of respect, safe even at war, a lot of time off.

Answer 10
