Family Benefits

If you join the Navy family, you provide benefits for your family too and if you are married, with or without children, you can count on the Navy to help you care and support your family.

• Security
• Closeness of the Navy community - even if you are away from home, the Navy provides a strong support system for your family
• The quality of life in military housing is exceptional

The Navy also provides you and your family housing and medical care. You can live on base or receive a housing allowance to live in an off-base house or apartment of your choice. Your family can get full medical and dental care for free or at a low-cost. Some people might buy $250,000 worth of life insurance for $16 a month to ensure your family's security.

Living on the base offers many of the benefits f living in a gated community: security, safety, cleanliness and a friendly, open atmosphere. They are also built with the comfort of the residents in mind. Wherever in the world you are stationed, you will find all the comforts of home: theaters, libraries, schools, places of worship, daycare, and much more. Live on a Navy base is just like life anywhere else in America.
