I dont know if you boys know this, so here goes....
I have just signed up and gotten my ship date for Boot Camp. As one of my guarantees, I asked for something called the "Loan Repayment Program," which I found out about while doing research. Basically, if your job rating qualifies for it, THE NAVY WILL PAY FOR YOUR SCHOOL LOANS UP TO $65,OOO AFTER ONE YEAR'S SERVICE!
Yes, thats right...
So, for you guys who, like me, went to college before going in and have 20-30 grand in school loans, now you dont have to use your bonuses to pay them off! Its a great deal, so ask about it---- belay that---- find out if your job qualifies for it--- and request it! I got $19,000 worth of bonuses PLUS that Loan Repayment Guarantee, all on top of my SEAL Challenge Contract.
The Challenge Contract does qualify for it, but if you want to make sure that you dont lose it if you dont finish BUD/S, try to pick a rating that also qualifies for it.
