With all the extras in pay what is the average monthly take in for a Married soldier who is an E-4?

What extra's are you talking about?  \n\nBasic Pay is also different depending on how long you have been in\n\nBAH that is different for every base, but you don't get BAH if you live in base housing.\n\nBAS 272.26\n\nAlso it depends on if you are deployed or not if you are you also get\n\nSeperations pay 250\n\nIf you are in a combat zone you also get\n\nImmiment Danger pay 225 which is also a tax free zone\n\n\nAs you can tell from the above it really depends on what extra's in pay you are talking about as well as what base and how long you have been in.

I was stationed in Kosovo.  The extra allowances were tax exempt.  I am Canadian, don't know about where you are.

I  can't believe some of the info being passed here!  The first responder was correct that it is called "command sponsorship."  The term means a dependent is recognized by the overseas command, with full overseas benefits and post/base allowances.  To gain command-sponsorship, the active duty spouse must agree to serve an additional year "after" you become his dependent.  This law was enacted as sort of a pay back for recognizing and "sponsoring" you.  This also allows you full benefits and entitlements, such as government-paid travel for you, to your husband's next duty station (without command-sponsorship, you'll have to pay for your own travel when leaving Germany).  Once you are comand-sponsored other entitlements such as ration cards, housing allowance, and cost of living allowances are paid at the "with dependent rate;" usually much more than the single rate (if there is one).  Also, things such as eligibility to live on-base are established.  I know the AF processes command-sponsorships routinely, and the process takes very little time to approve (the army shouldn't be too different).  Remember, all privileges and allowances begin once the application is approved.  I would recommend anyone marrying overseas apply for command-sponsorship (provided there is an "accompanied-by-dependents" tour length at that location).  You don't say which specific branch of service, but the sponsor is the only person that can make application for command-sponsorship.  He will need to approach his unit orderly room/admin folks to initiate the process.  Remeber one thing though, regardless of whether you obtain command-sponsorship, you are entitled to medical care through the military.\nIt's not uncommon for med folks, or others, to try and turn you away, but US law allows you medical care based solely on being married to a member of the active duty forces. Even without a ration card, NATO stamp in passport or orther credentials to obtain access to the base, you can ask for an escort if necessary to allow you access to the hospital or clinic ---provided you are in possession of your dependent military identification card.  \n\nIn the end though, comand-sponsorship is in you and your husband's best interests.  Technically, you can't enter any BX or commissary, or other MWR facility.  You can't use the post office and if you purchase anything on base, you are technically responsible to pay the german taxes!  Believe me, the process of applying is very routine, and if you're at a major military  installation, it is a routine process with approval almost all but guaranteed.  While I was overseas, I would estimate several hundred folks (command-wide) applied for sponsorship each year.\n\np.s.  all entitlements apply equally, regardless of branch of service.  Some variations ultimately occur or bad information is used when people in charge of facilities, etc. lack correct knowledge or understanding of entitlements. If someone casually tells your sponsor it's not possible to apply, he's in the wrong place.  He should start at his unit, and then wind up in personnel to submit the proper paperwork.\n\nGood luck

Here is a answer from a x navy person i retired a e-5 for those of u that dont know what that is it is a 2nd class petty officer, tell him to read the fine print, make sure if they say there are sending him to school that they are sending him right after boot camp, also tell him to get a rate with a enlistment bonus, he gets it after he reports to his first duty station, not after boot camp but the jobs with the bonuses are good, for another reason if he decides to re enlist the bonus will be higher than other rates that dont have it. but mainly read over that contract before you sign 4 good years of your life away. oh and another good thing about air force your pretty much getting shore duty hopefully in the united states. Trust me it was hard enough to spend 8 months away from my wife at a time i hated it air force is a good way to go than any other service.

Per Diem is given sometimes, like if you are on TAD (Army and Airforce call it TDY), or when you are transferring.  How much you get for it can vary.  Here's a website where you can look up the amount.  You can also get partial perdiem.  \n\nhttps://secureapp2.hqda.pentagon.mil/perdiem/perdiemrates.html\n\nYour orders will say if you are authorized perdiem.  \n\nClothing allowances vary by which Branch you are in, whether you are male or female, and in some cases what paygrade you are (Navy E7 -E9 get a different amount than Navy E1-E6).  The reason for the difference is because, obviously, the uniforms for the different branches (and different genders) cost different amounts, and it's meant to offset the replacement costs.\n\nThe 2006 paychart shows the clothing allowance for a male in the Army to be \n\n$1283.49 for the initial allowance (this is what they give them in bootcamp, but turn around and take right back, because they give them all the uniforms).  \n\n$356.40 for Basic Uniform Allowance or $511.20 for Standard Uniform Allowance.  \n\nUniform allowances are paid every year on the first payday after your anniversary in the military, except for the Navy, where when you make the rank of E7 it switches to the anniversary of your promotion to that paygrade, because you switch uniforms at that time, so they "reset" your annual countdown.  \n\nHere is a website that should be able to explain what pay and allowances he should be getting, under what circumstances he will be able to get it, and how much it should be.\n\nhttp://www.dod.mil/dfas/\n\nHope this helps.

I was in the Army for nine years.  Usually what happens is you get a bulk of it up front and then the rest every year on the month that your husband enlisted.  So if he went in in September then every year he will get another lump sum, and then the September after that until it is paid.

Remember that members of the military get paid not only by rank/pay grade but also by number of years in.  This is as of Jan 1 2006\n\nPay is as follows (without benefits)\nO-10 13365-14196 (20years-26 years)\nO-9   11689-12525 "                            "\nO-8   8271-11348 (<2-26)   11075 (at 20 years)\nO-7   6872-10066 (<2-26)   10015 "                  "\n\nI've never met an O-7 or above with less than 20years but the site had the numbers, so they're shown.\n\nWhen you get up there you start raking in the money, especially as a nuke...benefits add a few thousand dollars on all of these figures.

I have not heard that, but I believe the soldiers deserve it.\n\nAs for the other poster...I remember it being like $110 as well and always thought it was odd how they could put a dollar figure on hazardous duty.\n\nI wish your family the best with your husbands deployment and a safe and speedy return for him.

Check with your local AAFES store.  Auto manufacturers used to give some pretty good deals to returning troops through the post exchange. Don't know if they still do, but it's a place to start.

if your adventerous, get a job over here in iraq like i did.  i came over here $125,000 in debt back in 2003.  by next april, i will be totally debt free.  i would have been done a lot sooner, but i splurged a little on my vacations.  i'm with halliburton(kbr), but there are many companies over here that pay well.  the first $80,000 is tax free.  each month i bring home anywhere between $8,000 to $11,000 a month(bring home), depending on if it is a four or five week month.  it can be dangerous at times, but i have been here 3 1/2 years and i still have all my fingers and toes.  good luck.

My father gets extra for family members and some medical help. I don't know how it all works out for sure, but I found a website and you may find some information there?\n\nhttp://www.military.com/Resources/ResourcesContent/0,13964,38349,00.html

Wanda's right. The military does not make as much as civilians. But, as someone with a college degree you will definitely have higher pay and preferential treatment for things like housing. It also depends on what branch of the military you sign up for.\n\nI think it would be safe to assume that in your first year you would be making mid to late 20's. If you are married you can live on base with your family and all of your rent, water, and electricity is covered. If you choose to live off base (or if no space is available on base...this happens) then your monthly housing allowance would be anything from $800 - $2000 depending on your rank and the number of dependents you have. If your single, you can live in the barracks, rent free or can use your housing allowance to rent an apartment off base or buy a house.\n\nSoldiers who are stationed overseas also get combat pay....like a bonus in their pay check.\n\nThere's no guarantee you wouldn't end up in Iraq, no matter what branch you sign up for. But, your noble to consider a career in the military.

There is no such thing as "marriage pay".  However, the soldier does get benefits such as BAH to cover the cost of housing and such.  Your daughter isn't entitled to anything.  That's the honest truth of the military.  All the pay received is for the soldier.  \n\nIf your son-in-law is in trouble, the correct punishment would come through an Article 15.  However, I've never known anyone to lose their pay as punishment for anything done in an Article 15(just in my experience).  I'd have to check further on it.  An Article 15 is the baseline form of punishment.  The only lower would be to receive a counseling statement.  \n\nWhy is your son-in-law letting these Sergeants into his house??  Unless it's a scheduled visit, they're not allowed to just drop by.  They only time in house inspections occur is if there's been reports of violence, drugs or so on in the house.  For that, they'd be going above an Article 15 level.  I think there's many things that you don't know or understand about this story.\n\nAs for taking his pay, I have news for you, they are authorized to withhold a soldiers pay.  Yes, they do own you and you know this when you sign the dotted line.  My hubby along with another soldier "lost" some tools after a field exercise.  They were never recovered.  The military (government) took a portion of his and the other soldiers pay for 2 pay periods.  It's all very legal.  Family or not, it doesn't matter.  There was also an incident of a lost radio in the  unit one time.  The soldier that was signed for that radio was going to lose his entire pay to cover the cost of the lost radio.  He was married and would have had NO money for the month.  Just because you're married, doesn't mean you get special treatment.  If you owe for punishment or to replace a lost item, the government is going to get their money.  \n\nI suggest you get more info on the situation.  There seems to be much about the action being taken that you don't know or understand.  I'm sorry your daughter is going through this.  If your son-in-law is truly being harassed by these Sergeants, there is a proper chain of command to seek help through.  He can also see the Chaplain.  There are regulations and procedures for everything in the Army.\n\nEDIT:  I just read a couple other replies.  I see that they are allowed to take pay for Article 15 action.  I guess we've just never been exposed to someone having that action taken against them.  But, that gives you your answer, they are allowed to do it as a form of punishment.

See the link below this is drill pay. If they are mobilized they make exactly what active soldiers make (second link below)
