A lot of seamen found their true sexuality by joining the Navy. Can you really put a price on that??

I think being called semen for at least 0-3years of their career had an effect.

Absolutely! Those ETN and EMN ratios are gold! With my AT (aviation electronics) rate, I was able to get an amazing job right out of the Navy. Those nuc ratings are next level.

The bonuses are tempting for sure it's always interested me.

Usually the harder the job is (intellectually or physically) or crappier the job is the higher the bonuses are.

If you go in as a Nuc you get E-4 right after basic A school. I made E-5 with just over a year in the Navy.

In my opinion and how I saw it in the Army is...

You start at lowly private, and you grow into the e-4 with the boys, and joining and being in the e-4 mafia seems like family. Easier to bond with fellow soldiers, more off-duty activities.

Those that were fast tracked, or started as e-3 in basics, or spec at first duty station, most of them become brown nosers to get to e5 quick, they skip the e-4 mafia, have way less bonding with the men, unlikely to be invited to certain singles barracks drinking or *train/tag-team* activities, basically someone you work with, but rather not hang with.

From what I saw.

Went to Navy DS schools and all the Navy guys got E-4 right out of "A" school. As a Marine I didn't pick up E-4 until I was in my 4th year of a 5 yr contract. There was no enlistment bonus when I joined and I was surprised that when they tried to get me to re-enlist the bonus was a big fat 0.

Needless to say I got out and landed a great job in the IT sector. I was at training schools for my MOS for over a year. You'd think they'd at least attempt to retain those that went through that much training.

Is the enlistment bonus for the Marine Corps still just the “US MARINES” name tape?
