60k a year plus housing allowance and having no expenses, is equal to making 150k a year or more. There are places in the US an E5 can get $4500 a month housing allowance. Then if you marry another E5, you combine your allowances! That’s a ton of money.

Sounds like they get paid plenty considering they don’t work that often and when they do they’re doing nothing but the government’s bidding. You have to be a certified psychopath to be a SEAL or part of any elite military group
F$&k yeah they are. Imagine having the courage and skills to breach a house and go room to room "in pitch black darkness", night vision aside, you never know who's behind that door....or distinguish between civilian or hostile in a split second of breaching a door.....
Not exactly...unfortunately almost none of the skills you learn as a SEAL translate into the private commercial sector...and once you get out, you're on a watch list (due to what the gov't knows what you know what to do) That's why many SEALS have trouble outside of the military...it's incredibly unfortunate

Maybe but it’ll definitely make you more likely to catch a bullet in the ass also. Uncle Sam can keep his damn 160k a year, I’m good. I’ll gladly take a comfortable ass position elsewhere in ranks.
Navy seals don’t get paid enough these are some of the best men that America has to offer They gave their lives to defend her at the bare bottom minimum they should be making it 90,000
90k? .. i was thinking more like 500k a year. These are the baddest mfers on the goddamn planet and do all the dirty work no one else wants to do. When they go home they should never have to worry about money and be as comfortable as possible
They get the military pay scale based on their rank, and the bonuses depend on active skills. Bonuses sometimes are dependent on the mission and location. But BASE salary is standard military pay scale. Pay grade plus time in service. These are men who go above and beyond without increased pay consideration.

To think we only have around 2,500 Navy Seals and we can't pay them more then that?!?! They should get a bonus for every time they are put in harms way. They are priceless!
What most people don't understand about the bonuses is that you don't get all of that money at once. It's spread out, usually throughout several years, and for things like enlistment bonuses there are stipulations. Usually the stipulations involve completing a certain amount of time in service. So each "bonus" is basically a de facto raise in pay. It's as if your boss said he was giving out bonuses, but they would be spread out over the next 5 years. Like I said, a de facto raise.
typically half up front, and the rest is spread out for re-enlisment bonus. if a re-enlisment happens in a tax-free zone, the entire bonus is tax-free.
when you’re a seal the money doesnt matter you did it because you wanted to.. they deserve so much more.. 50k to 60k even starting is not even a quarter of what they deserve..
For these guys it’s not about money. They genuinely love what they do. That’s what people outside looking in don’t understand. Also, don’t forget, this is voluntary, no one is forced to be a Navy SEAL.

@@vanbrown8409SEALs can quit any time. If they're done, nobody is going to stop them, because someone who has lost the mentality to continue, being forced to stay, endangers the rest of the team.

@@rangerkyle6681that’s only if you are in a combat zone/designated tax free duty station when you receive the bonus. Any bonus you get while stateside is still going to be taxed like any other income.
yeah but you have to pay rent and everything. you can live off a much smaller amount of money if they give you shelter and food for free. that is why people who think prisoners should make minimum wage (or more) to work are retarded. they would literally be making and saving more than people who didn't go to prison. people works get locked up on purpose to be get the work.
@@charlesvillegas2446 exactly the military pays our people to go die for a dollar while Ted that owns a multibillion dollar paid assassin company pays his men 3 times what the average oil worker gets paid on a year basis 🥲😂
No one says you’re going to survive training, it’s dangerous volunteer program. Respect to all those who volunteer, throughout the military❤🙏🏽🇺🇸 edit: we have computers and many videos it all out there to view before Volunteering. I never said they dont deserve more money and are worthy of it. The point that this is a volunteer program and I doubt most of these people signing up caring about the money.

And no one said you shouldnt get paid what your worth these are people who go through the worse environments humanity has ever seen for $60,000 a year fuck that how would I be able to live besides that most special forces members on average are over 30 with bills and depts to pay and kids to raise and take care of, how are they supposed to do that and pay for everything and then go through deadly environments with out a thank you or the propef amount of money to support them selfs so that they can continue to go through that stuff and people wonder why no one wants to join the military anymore and why veterans take there lives everyday because the U.S government doesn't fucking call about they're military members we spend over 800 billion dollars a year on our military and we can't set aside some of that for the members that truly do the most
@@moblack5883 Point being, we (taxpayers) should be paying them much more than they make and not giving money to other countries to study genders. Congress should not be making more than these guys!
All that trauma they go through for next to nothing in pay smh that’s a damn shame to any military seeing this thank you from the bottom of my heart and y’all deserve way more compensation than that you shouldn’t have to worry for the rest of your natural living life in my opinion but this is just coming from a good hearted individual I’m sure most will see it differently
They need to be paid alot more because their lives are on line based on these secretive dangerous missions. The training they go thru is very brutal and extremely challenging in order to complete to pass. The training is 37 weeks long...
Dont think you understand how much talent it takes to make millions playing sports. Only a couple hundred people in the world make millions playing sports. Every little kid in the world dreamt of becoming a pro athlete, and hundreds of millions have tried. Only a couple hundred made millions. On top of that, those people make money because people like you put the money in their pockets. In other words theyre extremely influential and generate much much more money than they actually make. Lebron james is worth much, much more than his net worth. Michael Jordan is worth much much much much much more than his net worth. Billions and billions of dollars have been moved around in the name of MICHAEL JORDAN.
@@mastertrey4683 There are easily thousands if not 10s of thousands of Athletes making millions from sport but definitely agree with the sentiment of your comment. Its all about how much money they can bring in and a secretive military group can't make millions off of merch or other sales
You can never pay the Navy SEAL enough. Very few humans can do with that Navy SEAL can do. Most people could never understand what it takes to become a Navy SEAL. But you better at least give him the honor and respect he deserves. Ooorah Seal Teams
A literal super solider defending his country and giving his body for America. Doesn't even make half of what a polite makes. And that's excluding insider trading and bribery
When I was accepted into the Navy Nuclear program, the bonus offers were well into the 6 figure range. Being that most nukes are on or under the water for most of their career, that money can sit in investment accounts, growing rapidly.
I'm a bit of a military geek,who has such respect and admiration for the brave men and women of our armed forces. I watch a ton of videos, and I have never heard them even mention pay rates. There are some things money cant buy
They deserve everything they have cause they put the work in and earned it that's how its suppose to work across the board in every amd all businesses...#OnlyEasyDayWasYesterday....
Feel the same too bro. But at the end of the day, in today's world attention = money. If you can capture people's attention or interest , money will come in large whether it is selling a product or playing sports.
I'm a former Navy helicopter rescue swimmer/crewman. Pilots and air rescue crewmen/combat crewmen don't get paid a lot either for doing the job that most people cannot qualify for. My graduating class size for the last schooling before working in the fleet as crewmen was 5 total graduates. We lose many people from them not passing training and tests. A few were university graduates and university dropouts that didn't pass the training or exams. The pay is not a lot and this is why most pilots and crewmen don't stay in the military/Navy after our first enlistment contract is over. If our pay was close to triple/if it started at around $130,000 yearly then I and majority of others would renew our contracts and stay in the Navy to continue performing with H-60 helicopters. Helicopter crewmen get out after our first contract because the pay doesn't match our value we give, including risking our lives when flying 4-5 times a week. On occasion we all would experience helicopter malfunctions/emergency landings and for some it was controlled crash landings. And the longer you stay in the job the more chances you give at becoming the few crewmen that don't survive the helicopter malfunctions. Others and I leave after our first enlistment contract because the low pay was not worth the work and the constant risk of our lives we gave. I'm all for serving my country which is why I didn't complain about the pay and was willing to give my time for a few years, while receiving low pay. But don't ask me to spend 20 years of my life serving my country if the pay will be low and my work and life risk will be high throughout. Most people stayed in because they bought a house and started a family. If our country wants more people to stay in the military for 10 to 20 years they will have to nearly triple the salary. Getting people to serve one enlistment term, with low pay, is easy because a lot of people just want to serve. Our population has far more Veterans who served one enlistment term than others who served more than one term.
That's not bad. Where I live that's 3 times the median income. And they have far lower living expenses. Can't really put a price on what they do, but it's more than I thought it would be.
Pay based on rank like every branch of service. An E5 or O3 all make the same amount doesn’t matter if you’re Army Navy or Space Force. In the Army there’s certain Pro Pays, additional pay for being Airborne. It was $100. a month extra when I was in. We didn’t get extra for being Special Forces. It’s based on rank and time in service.
They get paid in book, TV, and Movie deals. Then they get paid speaking tours, product endorsements and placements, and lucrative PMC contracts with Blackwater
Never ever rely on the promise of a “bonus” in the military. The base salary for your rank is the only thing you can truly trust regardless of your actual rate (MOS).
It depends where your stationed. San Diego, Virginia Beach, or Hawaii are the three main duty station. If you just finished training and got to your team in San Diego, you’re probably making about $70k a year until get a special pay, make rank, or get out. Keep in mind that’s after healthcare costs. Tricare is 100% for military. Really if you adjust for other benefits, it’s more like the civilian equivalent of bringing home $85k/year.
They don't get paid enough for the job(s) that they perform. They don't just risk physically but psychologically as well. Bravo to those who are in special forces!

@@andrewsomma299 I disagree completely, the best if you were to look at it logically would be the SAS you know, the people who trained delta force
they take care of housing and food for the most part, its known as BAH and BAS so this is actually alot considering this is basically how much your actually taking home
Well let’s just say I’m sure glad I can drive a truck. I’d hate to work all year and be broke
Lol i learned how to drive a 18 wheeler in the Airforce as well as cranes forklifts and other heavy equipment dozers etcetera and put a ton of time in each of those vehicles over my 23 years of service and i was not even in transportation career field so what is your point? You learn all sorts of "skills" in the Military.
Yeah considering I make almost double that as an industrial maintenance/electrical technician is insane. These guys deserve 6 figures a year base
Our defence budget is over 1.1 trillion how bad u want hyperflation?
@@cultleader3572 So how does wanting to see our special forces be paid better equal “ hyperflation” ?
Sounds like a living wage until Uncle Sam takes his cut.
Bonus is tax free
@@rangerkyle6681that’s only if you are in a combat zone/designated tax free duty station when you receive the bonus. Any bonus you get while stateside is still going to be taxed like any other income.
I hate how the military gets paid very little, like he said, they deserve far more than what they get.
They don’t get near enough for what they have to do! ❤
You forgot to mention the ancle Sam Tax deduction, 34-37% if you get a Lump Sum payment
NOT ENOUGH PAY CHECK
As one running cadence once said
A frog man’s money is as good as gold
It is not about the money. It is about being the best.
The awkward moment when you make more than a navy seal
Haha well at least someone is getting paid well!
yeah but you have to pay rent and everything. you can live off a much smaller amount of money if they give you shelter and food for free. that is why people who think prisoners should make minimum wage (or more) to work are retarded. they would literally be making and saving more than people who didn't go to prison. people works get locked up on purpose to be get the work.
Gov doesn’t pay well but the bennys are nice. That being said you get a lot of extra money based on the schools you pass

@@charlesvillegas2446 exactly the military pays our people to go die for a dollar while Ted that owns a multibillion dollar paid assassin company pays his men 3 times what the average oil worker gets paid on a year basis 🥲😂
Let's deduct the politicians' pay and give it out as bonuses to the military. That means all that under the table pay from lobbyists.
They need to get the politicians pay checks!!
They do. This is probably for entry Seals once you’ve been in 4-5 years you probably make 15-20k a month
@@joesmith5533 not even close

Not the paychecks, the kickbacks.

No one says you’re going to survive training, it’s dangerous volunteer program. Respect to all those who volunteer, throughout the military❤🙏🏽🇺🇸
edit: we have computers and many videos it all out there to view before Volunteering. I never said they dont deserve more money and are worthy of it. The point that this is a volunteer program and I doubt most of these people signing up caring about the money. Yes some choose because of that but It’s hard to imagine the SF volunteers do.
And no one said you shouldnt get paid what your worth these are people who go through the worse environments humanity has ever seen for $60,000 a year fuck that how would I be able to live besides that most special forces members on average are over 30 with bills and depts to pay and kids to raise and take care of, how are they supposed to do that and pay for everything and then go through deadly environments with out a thank you or the propef amount of money to support them selfs so that they can continue to go through that stuff and people wonder why no one wants to join the military anymore and why veterans take there lives everyday because the U.S government doesn't fucking call about they're military members we spend over 800 billion dollars a year on our military and we can't set aside some of that for the members that truly do the most
These guys deserve a whole lot more special forces the money should be way more than that politicians get more than that
They deserve more
In the UK you get a nice patch to stitch on your kit
By the time you can re inlist your like I'm good I'm all I can be cause my knees are shot! Done...
They deserve more than any athlete or entertainer!
Then find an employer who pays those wages
@@moblack5883 Point being, we (taxpayers) should be paying them much more than they make and not giving money to other countries to study genders. Congress should not be making more than these guys!
All that trauma they go through for next to nothing in pay smh that’s a damn shame to any military seeing this thank you from the bottom of my heart and y’all deserve way more compensation than that you shouldn’t have to worry for the rest of your natural living life in my opinion but this is just coming from a good hearted individual I’m sure most will see it differently
They do deserve so much more money than that! Pretty BADASS I’d say
* not enough * ... have a great day
On a video about Seals they show Marines at the end. Semper Fi
Nope! Not enough
They need to be paid alot more because their lives are on line based on these secretive dangerous missions. The training they go thru is very brutal and extremely challenging in order to complete to pass. The training is 37 weeks long...
But athletes get millions...smh these are the guys that should get paid the big bucks real super heros
For sure, probably the closest you can get to a real life avengers
Dont think you understand how much talent it takes to make millions playing sports. Only a couple hundred people in the world make millions playing sports. Every little kid in the world dreamt of becoming a pro athlete, and hundreds of millions have tried. Only a couple hundred made millions. On top of that, those people make money because people like you put the money in their pockets. In other words theyre extremely influential and generate much much more money than they actually make. Lebron james is worth much, much more than his net worth. Michael Jordan is worth much much much much much more than his net worth. Billions and billions of dollars have been moved around in the name of MICHAEL JORDAN.
@@mastertrey4683 There are easily thousands if not 10s of thousands of Athletes making millions from sport but definitely agree with the sentiment of your comment. Its all about how much money they can bring in and a secretive military group can't make millions off of merch or other sales
@@mastertrey4683 they play for blood they should be making the most risking life and limb.
@@Howmuchthough u.s military has the biggest budget in the world trillions of dollars they have more than any sports franchises
You can never pay the Navy SEAL enough. Very few humans can do with that Navy SEAL can do. Most people could never understand what it takes to become a Navy SEAL. But you better at least give him the honor and respect he deserves. Ooorah Seal Teams
Couldn't agree more. It isn't just about the physical side either, they have nerves of steel
Honestly they should be taken care of forever, they should come home and not have a single worry including proper care including and beyond PTSD.
A literal super solider defending his country and giving his body for America. Doesn't even make half of what a polite makes. And that's excluding insider trading and bribery
Seals deserve more pay!!!
“Than we pay them”
Like me you’re British my man…😅
Bollocks
When I was accepted into the Navy Nuclear program, the bonus offers were well into the 6 figure range. Being that most nukes are on or under the water for most of their career, that money can sit in investment accounts, growing rapidly.
I can't sign my life away for that lol
That's why they make the cut and you wouldn't
They deserve more money AND more respect!!
they got the respect down....
I'm a bit of a military geek,who has such respect and admiration for the brave men and women of our armed forces. I watch a ton of videos, and I have never heard them even mention pay rates. There are some things money cant buy
They deserve much more than a congressman😲🤑
They deserve everything they have cause they put the work in and earned it that's how its suppose to work across the board in every amd all businesses...#OnlyEasyDayWasYesterday....
Wtf that’s wildly underpaid for the work they do to even get in. I thought they was millionaires once in 😭
Tbf if you add up all allowance and pay they get around $150k on average but that's still a lot less than what they deserve
You don't join the military for money.
These r the guys that should be making millions, not a guys passing a ball playing a game
No.
Feel the same too bro. But at the end of the day, in today's world attention = money. If you can capture people's attention or interest , money will come in large whether it is selling a product or playing sports.
Love the retention bonus, keeps them from going merc immediately. Glad these bonuses are part of their deal.
I'm a former Navy helicopter rescue swimmer/crewman. Pilots and air rescue crewmen/combat crewmen don't get paid a lot either for doing the job that most people cannot qualify for.
My graduating class size for the last schooling before working in the fleet as crewmen was 5 total graduates. We lose many people from them not passing training and tests. A few were university graduates and university dropouts that didn't pass the training or exams.
The pay is not a lot and this is why most pilots and crewmen don't stay in the military/Navy after our first enlistment contract is over.
If our pay was close to triple/if it started at around $130,000 yearly then I and majority of others would renew our contracts and stay in the Navy to continue performing with H-60 helicopters.
Helicopter crewmen get out after our first contract because the pay doesn't match our value we give, including risking our lives when flying 4-5 times a week.
On occasion we all would experience helicopter malfunctions/emergency landings and for some it was controlled crash landings. And the longer you stay in the job the more chances you give at becoming the few crewmen that don't survive the helicopter malfunctions.
Others and I leave after our first enlistment contract because the low pay was not worth the work and the constant risk of our lives we gave.
I'm all for serving my country which is why I didn't complain about the pay and was willing to give my time for a few years, while receiving low pay.
But don't ask me to spend 20 years of my life serving my country if the pay will be low and my work and life risk will be high throughout.
Most people stayed in because they bought a house and started a family.
If our country wants more people to stay in the military for 10 to 20 years they will have to nearly triple the salary.
Getting people to serve one enlistment term, with low pay, is easy because a lot of people just want to serve.
Our population has far more Veterans who served one enlistment term than others who served more than one term.
SEALs are something, and the look in a Marine eyes is unforgettable
Depends upon their pay grade and where they are stationed. It’s all public information and can be found online.
They should get whatever the average minimum salary is for professional athletes.
Swap the monkey lebron's salary with theirs
Yeah, why not? Trillions of dollars is already "missing" anyway, let's just go down with the ship
That's not bad. Where I live that's 3 times the median income. And they have far lower living expenses.
Can't really put a price on what they do, but it's more than I thought it would be.
it is shirty for the risks.
All comparative I guess but still low considering the skill and risk involved
@@joinjen3854 all enlisted military is like this. 50k is high for an enlisted salary
@@mastertrey4683 I was enlisted military and not special forces. It is VERY low pay for the job duties.
Bro living expenses in cali are not livable. Wtf u talking about
A well-trained seal seems to make roughly 70,000 a year on average
Knowledge Is Power
Literally Is Not A Joke...
And to think at the end of my Navy career I was only making 29k per year…
26 here
4,000 and my older brothers under 2,000
Did you get out in the 80s or 90s?
they deserve more!!!
Pay based on rank like every branch of service. An E5 or O3 all make the same amount doesn’t matter if you’re Army Navy or Space Force. In the Army there’s certain Pro Pays, additional pay for being Airborne. It was $100. a month extra when I was in. We didn’t get extra for being Special Forces. It’s based on rank and time in service.
When you add free rent and free food, it’s actually WAY higher than $60k.
the food ain’t free.
@@FlynChse 😂😂
They Deserve a lot more than that
Couldn't agree more!
They get paid in book, TV, and Movie deals. Then they get paid speaking tours, product endorsements and placements, and lucrative PMC contracts with Blackwater
The closest I ever got to being a Navy SEAL was playing with my Torpedo and Wet-Suit G.I Joe action figures when I was a kid.
They all deserve more... For God and country...
God doesn't bless paid killers 🙏
Not enough if you ask me....
Couldn't agree more
Never ever rely on the promise of a “bonus” in the military. The base salary for your rank is the only thing you can truly trust regardless of your actual rate (MOS).
All the training and all the high risk missions they deserve at least half a million
Crap pay
Totally agree
Every single one should make what a Senator makes!
Crazy how our heroes make less than athletes
Not enough STILL…. And thank ALL OF THEM!!!!🇺🇸
Must also calculate in all the "benefits" that go along with being a government employee. The whole package is impressive.
These operators should be millionaires
It depends where your stationed. San Diego, Virginia Beach, or Hawaii are the three main duty station. If you just finished training and got to your team in San Diego, you’re probably making about $70k a year until get a special pay, make rank, or get out.
Keep in mind that’s after healthcare costs. Tricare is 100% for military. Really if you adjust for other benefits, it’s more like the civilian equivalent of bringing home $85k/year.
That little part of me: “you seem to be broke. I have the perfect solution 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍”
They don't get paid enough for the job(s) that they perform. They don't just risk physically but psychologically as well. Bravo to those who are in special forces!
