The career I chose is Navy SEAL. Navy SEALS must at all times be geared to serve their country and to secure it against any and every threat. The responsibilities of a Navy SEAL are given below:

Navy SEALs are well kept secrets and the missions that they undertake are generally off the radar.

Navy SEALS also get Housing, Meal and Tax Benefits. Many states offer significant tax breaks to Navy personnel. In addition, each service member receives a monthly allowance for housing and food
the Navy provides all its service members with superior tax free life insurance coverage. A $250,000 life insurance policy costs only $16 a month. A $400,000 life policy is only $26 a month.
