No, but respect to the people who rise above general millitary and become the awesome butt kicking machines that are seals!
I not sure what they make but they are worth every penny. Cheers to you if you have the drive, smarts, skills and discipline to become one!
doubt many navy seals would be in a webmaster forum and i truly doubt the gov pays that much unless your a general and then even then you probably only make 130k at the most.
Regular pay + jump pay+ dive pay + hazardous duty pay+ BAH+ benefits= 120K+ for enlisted and 200k+ for officers
Talk about a lie up above A SEAL's Salary: Typical Navy SEAL Makes About $54,000 May 4th 2011. http://abcnews.go.com/Business/osama-bin-laden-navy-seal-team-raided-obamas/story?id=13517776 http://www.dfas.mil/dfas/militarymembers/payentitlements/militarypaytables.html What did the Navy SEALs who cornered Osama bin Laden get for pulling off such a risky mission? Their weekly paychecks. The estimated salary for a Navy SEAL -- with over a dozen years of experience and an E-7 pay grade -- is about $54,000, according to an estimate based on data from the Department of Defense. However, all military personnel are eligible to receive higher pay -- closer to six figures -- with additional skills, which many of the members of the team that captured bin Laden likely had. "Each of these operations is different, but we get the same amount of pay, so it's fair," said John Scorza, MC2, under the Naval Special Warfare Command. The base salary level is comparable to the average annual salary for teachers in the U.S., which was $55,350 for the 2009-2010 school year, according to the Digest of Education Statistics. "Also note that military personnel may have more extensive benefits and on-base housing," said Lori Taylor, a professor at the Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University. "But they work year 'round while teachers get 2 to 3 months off in the summer." Though Navy SEALs are usually more experienced service members, the typical graduate of SEAL qualification training is 19 to 23 years old, said Lt. Cmdr. Fred Kuebler of U.S. Special Operations Command in Tampa, Fla. Most military members, not just Special Forces, are eligible to receive incentive pay, said Wade Ishimoto, defense specialist. These examples, from the Department of Defense, include: $240 for hazardous duty incentive pay $225 for imminent danger pay/hostile fire pay $150 to $225 for parachute, demolition and other tasks $240 to $340 for diving pay for officers and enlisted military members, respectively $521.40 to $961.80 for a basic allowance for housing (monthly, for dependents in some cases) $223.84 to $325.04 for a basic allowance for subsistence (monthly) Family subsistence supplemental: not to exceed $1,100 $327.60 to $759.60 for special clothing allowance (annual, for enlisted members, not officers) "They've earned it and they deserve it," Ishimoto said. "But none of that helps them in their retirement." Ishimoto said the retirement pay that military members receive is solely based on their base pay. Still, Haney said those serving in Special Forces do so because "it's something these people feel they must do." "Some people are driven to this. Just be damn glad they are," Haney said.
They have certain levels of navy seals and only E-7 ones go on high paying mercenary missions getting payed big money and nothing around 120k keep dreaming. Dont deny your wrong I gave the government website pay tables above. http://www.dfas.mil/dfas/militarymembers/payentitlements/militarypaytables.html And it’s true, only the mentally tough survive. It’s estimated that as many as 75 to 80 percent of SEAL recruits ‘wash out’ – or fail – during this stage of training ---> Link http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/05/03/navy-seals-exhibit-ultimate-mental-toughness/
I am still not interested.. why would anyone sell their freedom for 120k ? or even more ? I think IM is the best job ever, no boss, no taxes ( most of the time ) and vacation whenever we want.. best of all, we don't know how much we earn next month. isn't this the best job or what ?
Navy seals are really special individuals, very small percentage of the population can complete the training course
