Did you know a nuclear trained person can make
$62 k annually in the U.S. Navy submarine service?

Let me estimate for you.
These are conservative numbers on the low side.

E-6 over 8 yrs: 2200/mo
7 yrs sea pay: 350/mo
7 yrs sub duty: 350/mo
nuc pay: 150/mo
Hawaii BAH: 1900/mo w/dep
COLA: 200/mo
Total for year: 61800 w/o bonus

If your between 18-22 now that would be 7 years down the road, plus a lot of hard work and
study hardy. It would take about two years of schooling before you even get to be on a submarine,
plus this is just for enlisted men.

College graduates = officer candidate school = the figures would be the same only sooner.

This is after you turn 25-29, but still the job sure does pay good.

So what were you going to do for the next six or seven years anyway,
play games?
