Personal Growth

You have choices. You have options. And you have opportunities. Sometimes, all of those choices can get a little scary. Should you go to college when you’re not sure what you want to study? Should you get a job first? Which decision is the right one for you?

Skills for life.

The Navy can help you make some educated decisions about your life that can help provide the direction you need. If you’re not sure whether college is right for you, the Navy has dozens of training opportunities that are open to women, even nontraditional positions, such as construction workers, mechanics, and police officers. You’ll receive hands–on experience with state–of–the–art equipment.

When you leave the Navy, you’ll have the necessary training and skills to find a job in that field. And, if you decide you want to go to college, the Navy can help you pay for your education, up to $70,000.

The Navy pays for college.

A college education can open doors and pave the way for your future, but it also costs a lot of money. How can a recent high school graduate with no experience earn her way through school?

The Navy can pay up to $70,000 for college and offers training that can be transferred to accredited colleges for classroom credits.

Plus, if you already have some college credits and have the student loan debts along with them, the Navy can help you pay off your student loans with the Loan Repayment Program.

See the world.

The sun never sets on the United States Navy because its stations and bases can be found all over the globe. If you crave adventure, excitement, new experiences, and travel, the Navy can offer you the world. In fact, even if you’re stationed in the United States, you can hop on any military transport aircraft, if there’s room, and go wherever you want–usually for free. As a woman in the Navy, your opportunities are only limited by your imagination and dreams.

The Navy guarantees equal pay for equal work.
