does the navy go on land like in iraq (not marines or seals just the people on the boat do they go out and fight 2?

Answer 1

More and more Navy are going to CENTCOM for IA (Individual Augmentee). Some volunteer, some are voluntold. Some jobs will prevent this, but most of Navy personnel can be assigned IA to Iraq, Afghanistan, Horn of Africa, etc. Most do physical security, others do the rate (job) like COMMS, INTEL, etc.

Answer 2

Good Luck in the Navy. The Navy is only service to perform the majority of basic training indoors. The Navy also has a number of personal who are fighting in Iraq. Notably Hospital Corpsman are dedicated and valued members of Marine units serving in Iraq. Other ratings provide convoy security and logistical support to units in Iraq. Critical ratings may be loaned to other services to provide Individual Augmentation. Under this program an IA may be assigned to an open position in any services. (usually voluntarily but....) It is how a Navy Intel rating ends up attached to an Army Unit.

Answer 3

the navy's training is geared towards shipboard life. it now ends with your class "fighting and saving the ship" in something called battle stations. you will pt and have classes like other boot camps do. the navy has people on ships & subs, people working with and flying planes & helicoptors, they have people on the ground also, seabees, seals, and eod. the navy now augments the army on the ground with sailors after they complete a 2 week familiarization to the m-16 and basic fighting skills, its called an ia tour. the seabees, eod, and seals train in the fighting and weapons for ground warfare where when your on a ship or sub, you just get training in fighting the ship or boat and usually very basic pistol & rifle skills.

Answer 4

Being in the navy requires great commitment my friend. You need Lots of stamina and it is not as fun as it sounds. Even though it keeps you really fit, and can be fun at times, it can also be tough. The food is horrible! And yes. You may go out and fight if a shortage occurs, otherwise you can volunteer and you will very likely get in.

Answer 5

The fleet Navy doesn't experience much direct combat, but does supplement the Army in Iraq, as does the Air Force. Mainly in intelligence positions, to my knowledge.

Answer 6

every on goes to basic training.. then depending on what you signed up for you go to additional training for your job, A school and C school. and it depends on what job you choose most jobs are on ships and those are the sweat sailors..
the amazing sailors that are almost like marines are the Seabees, Corpsmen, and Seals.
the seabees are the constructions battion they are on land and they fight. so are the corpsmen who are the medics for the marines.
