LOL at the first comment, I wish I would;ve thought of that. It seems like someone has been belittling your career recently!

I can't believe people didn't know this. It's like any other branch, you're guarding your country.

Are there really people who don't know this?

On behalf of my Navy fellows, I am so sorry that someone referred to the Coast Guard as budget Navy lol

You're right. "pretend navy" might be better? :) The military wouldn't be the same if branches didn't tease each other.

I have only haggled a salary once and it was for what turned out to be a terrible company altogether so I feel as though I have no idea what’s appropriate to say/bring up. Long and short of the scenario- they offered me less than what I make (tho they don’t know that) but my friend works there, loves it, and makes great money. I REALLY want this job, but I need to make more than what I make now, period.
