is there a website that i can go to to find out what kind of benifits there are for the naval reserves?

Question

i really dont wanna talk to a recruiter...

Answer 1

I might try navyreserve.navy.mil

I am currently in the Naval Reserve and I think that that website should give you some of the information you want.

If you are interested in joining the Naval Reserve, talk to a recruiter. The enlistment requirements are changing for the reserve, so you may need to ask the recruiter want you need to do.

Are you prior service? Any member from active duty Navy (with an honorable discharge) can affiliate to the reserves.
If you have no prior service, there are training requirements needed for people entering the Naval Reserve.

Don't fear talking to a recruiter; if you feel that the Naval Reserve isn't for you, don't sign up. But your recruiter can answer any questions about benefits and inform you of any rates that have enlistment/re-enlistment bonuses.

Answer 2

you can find out the answer to your question at www.military.com....good luck.

Answer 3

You will receive four days of base pay for every two days of weekend drilling. You will also receive full pay and allowances for meals and housing during your two-week Annual Training. Pay and allowances for Navy Reservists are determined by the same pay scale used by active duty Navy personnel and are based on your individual pay grade and time in service. You will also be compensated for any additional days you choose to serve.

PAY RAISES
Reservists receive all general military increases in pay such as cost-of-living increases and additional pay increases for years of accumulated service. These increases are paid out at the same percentage as those serving on active duty.

DEPENDENT COMPENSATION
During their 12 to 14 days of Annual Training, Reservists with dependents will be compensated at same rate as active duty Navy personnel with dependents.

ACTIVE DUTY PAY
Selected Reservists on active duty will receive the same rate of compensation as other active duty personnel of equivalent rank, time in service and qualifications.

REENLISTMENT AND CONVERSION INCENTIVES
Bonuses are available for qualified Reservists who wish to convert to undermanned ratings.

RETIREMENT
You will become eligible for retirement pay at age 60, following 20 years of credible service (active duty with Reserve or Reserve alone). Retirement benefit amounts vary, depending on individual pay grades and total active duty and Reserve time. If a Reservist dies before reaching age 60, an optional Survivors Benefit Plan will provide an annuity to eligible beneficiaries.

PROMOTIONS
As a Reservist, you will receive ample opportunities for promotion. Advancement in the Reserve is based on the same guidelines and principles as those for active duty. To advance in rate, typically you must undergo additional training, attend schools and pass exams. Promotions are based on time-in-grade, advancement test results, your ability and the overall needs of the Navy and Navy Reserve.

REEMPLOYMENT RIGHTS
As a Navy Reservist, your civilian job security is assured. The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act guarantees your return to your civilian job after being ordered to active duty for training or during a national emergency.

LIFE INSURANCE

TRICARE Reserve Select brings together health resources of the armed services and supplements them with civilian resources to complete your health-care coverage.

Military veterans may qualify for an additional 12 months of Reserve GI Bill benefits in addition to the active duty GI Bill.

TUITION ASSISTANCE
Selected Reservists on active duty for 120 continuous days can be reimbursed up to 100 percent of tuition costs.

CREDITS FOR EXPERIENCE
