It helps (alot) if you enjoy your job.... but at the end of the day mate you go to work to get the pennies
Main reason i'd join the Navy is to spice things up abit, live life and see some sights etc

Yeah it's not just life touring the world by a long way....
No doubt it's very hard graft, It's something i've been seriously considering
I'm not happy sitting in an office day in day out, I want to live a little and make a decent career doing something interesting
Navy seems good, It's just building up the bollocks to do it!

My old man did 16 years in the navy, only left because they were playing with some new system and offered him 36 grand to leave. He left and bought us our own house up nooorf. He said if he was younger now he would go straight back in without even thinking about it. I've looked at the pictures he has etc and there is some pretty amazing ones. He loved it.. Lost contact with allot of my old mates though once they went into the forces.

You have had a sort of taste on what it is like - Yates pics.
I bet it is hard work, but look at the benefits he gets, imagine going to the places he goes all the time! I'd love to!
