For a young person leaving school, there aren't many jobs that pay as well as the Navy. Equally, if you're a professional looking for a change of pace, wages in the Navy are very competitive compared with similar jobs in the civilian world. The great thing is that you also have the opportunity to considerably improve your salary package, with the range of impressive benefits on offer.
Your salary will continue to increase based on competency level, rank and years of service. Or alternatively, gaining additional skills and undertaking further study may place you in a higher pay group where you would receive a higher pay rate regardless of your rank and years of service.
