Update: hang on, despite the reference to bimonthly paychecks in the link, other sources seem to imply the numbers in the table are monthly rates, which would put $133,000 closer to Brigadier General. That would be a very different story!
- refurb 5y agoMy understanding is you need to account for base allowance for housing (BAH) and if deployed overseas, you get tax exemptions, healthcare, full retirement + pension after 20 years, etc, etc. Military pay for newly enlisted is quite low, but if you're living on base and not paying for housing or food, it's not bad. Officers get paid pretty well all in.
