Yes and no.......once you volunteer to join the navy you you than have the option to volunteer to be a submariner, if you don’t want to, they cannot make you....therefore they offer good money to entice sailors to volunteer to go to the dark side.Quote:

Once you're in you can then volunteer to do things that you haven't been signed up to do like go on a sub, but you'll be getting paid to do itQuote:

THE highest paid non-officer in the military is not an SAS sergeant fluent in three languages taking out Taliban bombmakers in Afghanistan - it's the guy cooking food on a submarine.
A senior sub-sea chef with more than six years experience under his belt earns up to $200,000 a year, the same money as a junior admiral.
Electrical technicians will be higher paid.

President sends condolences to relatives of 53 crew of KRI Nanggala, which lost contact on Wednesday
A missing Indonesian submarine has been found, broken into at least three parts, deep in the Bali Sea, army and navy officials have said, as the president sent condolences to relatives of the 53 crew.
The navy chief of staff, Yudo Margono, said the crew was not to blame for the sinking. “The KRI Nanggala is divided into three parts, the hull of the ship, the stern of the ship, and the main parts are all separated, with the main part found cracked,” he said.

"There were parts of KRI Nanggala 402 — it was broken into three pieces," said Navy Chief of Staff Yudo Margono.
Authorities said that they received signals from the location more than 800 metres deep early Sunday morning and that they had used an underwater submarine rescue vehicle supplied by Singapore to get a visual confirmation.
The reports also confirmed that the Commander of the Submarine Fleet was also onboard - is a different person to the Captain of the submarine.
Broken in 3 pieces almost a kilometre down that's insane. Hopefully they didn't suffer. How sad what a wasteQuote:
