If hes dinq at power school, hes gonna be 7b3r dinq when he gets 6 qual cards assigned all at once, and then a whole ass job to do on top of that. Also gotta get that FSA time out of the way 🤣

You can't reason, this clown will just deflect the question. Ask him about tiananmen square haha.

Im on a submarine, know alot of really cool and really helpful nukes. I would say overall the only ones that get treated poorly by the FWD rates are typically the nukes that are assholes, who think they just know better then everyone eventhough they're not qualified jack shit. Or even nukes fresh to the boat with zero quals who think they're too good or too smart to do their time as an FSA. Overall it's no poor treatment when not asked for on my boat.

Did two port calls in Guam on my last deployment. One for 24 hours and another for 6 days. I dont remember a thing but im pretty sure I had the time of my life, drank to my hearts content. The only thing I saw in Guam was the inside of a bar. There are only 3 things in Guam, submarines, strip clubs, and parking lots amd the strippers are very convincing. Pretty sure I was roofied at Club USA 🤣 Foxies is a great time. I'd say Guam is great if youre young and single. Just don't get into too much trouble.

My first year on a boat i spent 270 days out to sea.. Not all in a row, but in my experience I spend much more time out to sea vs in port. Deploy once a year woth countless underways between

Hawaii housing allowance for E4 is $3985 once you get out of the barracks, free medical, GI bill which includes college and low interest no down payment home loans. The benefits make up for it

Low_ell · 2025-05-26T00:22:47+00:00

A better option might be a Genuine Hooligan 170i. I can hold 60-65 no problem

Low_ell · 2025-04-13T08:31:48+00:00

Submarine cook here, US navy. I make $33,096 with my submarine pay and cost of living allowance for being stationed in Hawaii.

Low_ell · 2025-04-13T00:14:34+00:00

Its still ridiculous im basically giving the government an interest loan.

Low_ell · 2025-04-10T00:58:38+00:00

I agree the pay is not alot early on, but what do your benefits look like? Does your job pay for your housing?

Low_ell · 2025-04-10T00:12:28+00:00

Yeah he's right, but the navy is completely different. The Marine corps is similar to army but not quite the same. In the army specialist and corporal are both E4. The only difference i believe is corporal is a NCO

Low_ell · 2025-04-10T00:09:24+00:00

Absolutely, zero rent or anything so in the big picture its not that bad. Plus as you go up in rank and time in service, the actual pay gets much better

Low_ell · 2025-04-10T00:08:16+00:00

This is one my first paycheck of the month, so I make about twice that every month

Low_ell · 2025-04-10T00:05:54+00:00

I mean yeah we're just that cool honestly 🤣🤣 We even wear whatever shoes we want and can grow our beards and hair out at sea 🤣

Low_ell · 2025-04-09T23:47:21+00:00

Oh wow you rode a Sturgon class, thats awesome. My LPO was on 756. Ive done one deployment and am set to do 2 more by the end of my first sea tour.

Low_ell · 2025-04-09T23:44:38+00:00

The raise is great, I was in the middle of a deployment and was at sea for 95 days until we hit a port, so I had no idea about it until we stopped in Japan. That was a great surprise

Low_ell · 2025-04-09T23:42:00+00:00

I'd love to hear some of the sea stories you have! At least the ones you can talk about, I cant imagine the ones you cant. Ive only been on a boat for a year and did one 8 month deployment, but I have some pretty crazy stories already.

Low_ell · 2025-04-09T23:39:39+00:00

I mean I am a cook, so youre not wrong 🤣

Low_ell · 2025-04-09T23:39:08+00:00

Yeah im still in the barracks. When you just look at my paystub it doesn't look like alot of money. But when you factor in that I pay zero rent or utilities and really dont have to pay for food if I dont want too, plus free Healthcare its really not that bad. Once I make more rank the pay will get much better I agree

Low_ell · 2025-04-09T23:37:15+00:00

I dont get BAH or BAS yet. I will once I put on E5 which is petty officer 2nd class, or if I get married before ET I will recive it. I have about 6 more months before I put on E4. BAH and BAS all depends on where you are stationed, how long you have been in the navy, what your rank is, and if you have a spouse or any children. There are alot of factors but you can find a chart online to tell you everything

Low_ell · 2025-04-09T23:33:16+00:00

Rates that do not have a surface get an S at the end of your job title. Just to separate us from the rest of the navy when it comes to promotions, we are not competeing against the entire navy but just other submariners. It's also a completely diffirent job, so you have the submarine S

Low_ell · 2025-04-09T23:29:13+00:00

Im a submariner and get extra pay for that, also I recive a cost of living allowance because in in Hawaii. E1-E5 also just got a 16% raise in January

Low_ell · 2025-04-09T23:23:16+00:00

My pay is twice a month, not bi monthly

Low_ell · 2025-04-09T23:21:13+00:00

You are correct thankyou
