Navy Benefits
Family Benefits
By joining the Navy family, you provide benefits for your family too. If you are married, with or without children, you can count on the Navy to help you care for your family.
First is the security of a Navy job. Then there is the closeness of the Navy community — even if you are away from home, the Navy provides a strong support system for your family. And the quality of life in military housing is exceptional.
The Navy also provides you and your family housing and medical care. You can live on base or receive a housing allowance to live in an off-base house or apartment of your choice. Your family will also get full medical and dental care for free or at low cost, and you can buy $250,000 worth of life insurance for $16 a month to ensure your family’s security.
Living on base offers many of the benefits of living in a gated community: security, safety, cleanliness and a friendly, open atmosphere. They are also built with the comfort of the residents in mind. Wherever in the world you are stationed, you will find all the comforts of home: theaters, libraries, schools, places of worship, day care and much more. In short, life on a Navy base is just like life anywhere else in America.
MAIL SERVICE
How does an aircraft carrier send and receive mail while it’s out to sea?
The C-2A Greyhound, a twin-engine aircraft, shuttles personnel, mail and other supplies to and from underway carriers. Mail is also sent to ports a ship is scheduled to visit.
The benefits mentioned here are just some of the many pluses Sailors and their families enjoy. The best way to get the full picture of all the Navy has to offer is to locate your nearest recruiter and schedule an interview.
