MS- mess specialist, they do the cooking.
ET - Electronics Technician (that's what I was) we fixed just about anything that was broken.
BM- Boatswains Mate The are the general maintenance guys on the ship and they have a lot of different jobs that they do from working the mooring lines to painting the ship, and most everything in between.
EM- electricians mate, basically a military counterpart to civilian electricians, a good job in and out of the military.
AB - Aviation's Boatswains mate, they handle the aircraft on and off the flight deck making sure that the helicopters and jets all do what they need to do.
There are hundreds of jobs in the Navy, and if you are considering serving in the Navy. Since I have I would suggest going to a local recruiter and seeing what options are available to you. Take the ASVAB and based on your score they will be able to recommend a field for you to go into. Not everything is fun all the time in fact some of the stuff that you have to do while you are in are horrible, but they need done and it only builds your character and makes you a better person. Ask to see what rates have the highest advancement and go for one of those that closely matches what the recruiter comes up with based on your test results. The faster you advance the better life is for you, you get better pay, more privileges. If you really want to advance fast in your field take your down time and use it studying for the advancement exams. Learn your job inside and out and never, turn down the opportunity to do or try something new. Put all your effort into being the best sailor that you can be and life will reward you for it.
If you cannot decide which job that you would like to do, you can always go in as s deck seaman (most become BM) and you can try different jobs throughout the ship and you can talk with other sailors who are in their specific rate to find out how they like it.
As far as not being in danger, thats not possible in todays military, because we are at war, there is the off chance that something will happen, to stay safe you must rely on your training and work as a team, these things will keep you safe. But if you really want to avoid danger. I would avoid EOD, or any of the flight deck jobs. There are people who want to do those jobs and if you are timid its best not to get into a position where your timidity could cost your or someone else their lives.

Nuclear Propulsionist (sp?)
You're on a sub for extended amounts of time and you must be very smart to get into it. My cousin did that in the Navy and when he got out he went to work on the Power Grid in Michigan making something like $60/hour to start. That was about 6 years ago. Dont think he was in any danger, we'd email each other all the time while he was out to sea.

Here's a couple of links that should provide you with some information on Navy occupations, they're from wikipedia, but they also have links at the bottom of the page that lead to official Navy sites, and Having reviewed them they seem to be current and accurate.

All jobs are possible, it just all depends on what you score on the ASVAB test.

none of them.. EVERY job has the potential to deploy and EVERY job has some inherent risk.
