How much does navy boot camp for kids cost?
You don't pay to go. Transportation (either bus fare or airfare) is provided at MEPS. Once there, you'll receive an advance from your first paycheck to allow you to get some necessary items (running shoes, neck wallet, watch, etc), as well as your first haircut (you pay for your haircuts). When I went through in 1998, it was $150 advance, and haircuts were $4 each week. Don't know what they cost now.

Can you join the Navy if you are on probation?
Not until your probation is over, and even then it depends on what the probation is for. You cannot join any military branch if you're legally obligated to another branch of federal, state or local government. The military generally doesn't accept anything in a person's record other than minor traffic violations and offenses.
It has nothing to do with whether or not you've paid up - it has to do with you ability to pass a background investigation for a security clearance, of which most Navy rates are required to have for their particular jobs. The Navy does not conduct BI's - The Department of Defense does, so they have no control over what DoD decides is acceptable or not.
Yes all Navy SEALS all male sorry. It is a all male group.All of the Special Forces teams are male only.
How many people die each year in the US Navy?
There is no average limit, as it varies each year due to force and mission requirements, and ongoing operations. However, most Navy casualties outside of Theatre casualties (KIA, WIA) are due to accidents or losses at sea (loss of crew overboard, unable to recover).
Many other deaths, such as suicides, aren't reported as such, but happen more frequently than the public knows about.
Most technical and engineering jobs in the Navy are inherently dangerous, but the actual annual loss rate is fairly low considering just how dangerous the work is for most rates.

What two us navy ships hit each other?
The oiler USS Yukon has been involved in at least 3 collisions, including a refueling tanker in 2012 and on Feb. 27, 2000, when it collided with a 135-foot civilian cargo ship while trying to enter Dubai's Jebel Ali port in the United Arab Emirates. Furthermore, less than five months later, it was hit by the USS Denver during refueling off the coast of Hawaii, where both ships sustained heavy damage. While the Yukon is a 677-foot tanker that replenishes oil for other Navy ships in the Pacific fleet, the Essex is an 844-foot-long vessel that resembles a small aircraft carrier and is due to return to San Diego on Thursday after 12 years based in Sasebo, Japan, as command ship for the Navy's Expeditionary Strike Group 7.

In the pre-dawn darkness of Oct. 14, 1996, the USS Theodore Roosevelt was maneuvering in the choppy Atlantic waters 100 miles off Cape Hatteras, N.C. The carrier was "backing down" -- reversing -- when it collided with a cruiser, the USS Leyte Gulf, in a thunderous screech of steel that knocked sailors to the decks and caused $10 million in damage. During the building of the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis part of the stern was removed to be used to repair the USS Roosevelt.
