There are VERY FEW positions in today's Navy that see actual "boots on the ground" combat. SO, obviously... corpsman that work with Marines... I know a handful of Seabees who happened to stumble across a firefight while working in Iraq/Afghanistan... There are also some rates that have IA billets that end up in combat. I know of a person who was an AO and ended up in Afghanistan with an Army unit as a turret gunner, she was hit by a couple IED's and ended up getting medically separated for injuries. Combat in the Naby is extremely rare, if that truly what you want then go Marine infantry.
