I almost did that!  They say that the program is so intense, that a huge
percentage of the people
have to see a psychiatrist to cope with it.  The reason why they will give
you so much to start is because they
know that you could be making almost 100K plus if you weren't in the navy,
so after the 6 years they make
you enlist, they will give you like a HUGE bonus (30 - 50K) to stay with
them.

The problem with that is, unless you are an officer, life in the navy sucks
royaly.  I had a friend who
went in, acted crazy, then was let go.

Don't do it! :)  Unless you have nothing else going for you, otherwise, it's
a great
way to get a good education.
