Formerly, the Army recognized individuals with Specialized skills, be it clerical, mechanical, construction, etc. The were called Specialists, and their ranks extended from Specialist Forth Class through Specialist Ninth Class mirroring the paygrades E4 through E9, respectively. They used the Specialist appelation to differentiate them from leaders and Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs), whose ranks ran from Corporal to Sergeant Major or Command Sergeant Major, again E4 through E9, respectively. These specialists were promoted through their expertise and seniority, but were not regarded as leaders. In the 70s, the Army stopped appointing SP7s through SP9s, and simply made them all NCOs. They further got rid of SP5s and SP6s and just called the remainder Specialists. Hope that helps.

It is on an employee's pay stub, W2s & 1099 forms.\n\nMaybe someone would be nice enough to give it to you.

well.. if you don't care about your benefits, and don't plan on coming back in the military... then no... it simply means that you are unqualified for military service... Now the truth is it is usually associated with some sort of physical or moral disqualification.  \n\nMany employers ask if you've ever served in the military and if so did you receive an Honorable Discharge... a General Discharge is considered the same as a Less Than Honorable discharge. What a future employer may or may not do with this information is up to them I suppose... but that is the only effect that I can see in a RE-4 w/ General Discharge.

If your husband is an E3, then he is working on earning his enlisted aviation warfare specialist warfare pin (EAWS) qualification.  The insignia is a pair of wings with a shield in the center, and it it worn over his ribbons.  \n\nOnce he earns it, it will become part of his rating - so if he is an AOAN (aviation ordnance-man, airman) he will be adding "(AW)" to then end of that, and will quickly be advanced to E4, so he will be an AO3(AW).  As a navy wife, this means more $$, but not many. \n\nIt is a career milestone, and would be very helpful in the long term to his future in the Navy.  If he is on an aircraft carrier, then you need to tell him to get his enlisted surface warfare specialist (ESWS) qualification as well - then he can be an AO3(AW/SW).  \n\nThe warfare quals are intended to teach the people in the unit what everyone else does, and give them an idea of how to do some other Jobs should the need arise (like in a war).  In my day they were optional and attained by hard charging, exceptional sailors - now they are mandatory, so it's a little easier to get.  \n\nThanks for showing some interest!  It will help him out a lot if you know what he is talking about in his job.  Go to the exchange and get some of the squid books they sell there in the uniform shop and read them.  You will learn a lot about what he does, and be able to give support and assurance when he needs it. \n\nThere is also a family service center that can help out if you are feeling lost.  They have been around a while, and can answer a lot of your questions.  If you are expecting a little one, then be sure to get smart about TRICARE and how that works.  If you can get a non-availability and have the kid out in town, then it would be much better.  Look for an organization of the unit's spouses - they can help a lot too.  Your husband works for a Chief Petty Officer (CPO) - if things get bad for you, this guy knows all the answers and can get it straightened out.  \n\nGood Luck! \n\nCheers! \n\nETC(SW/AW) (Retired)

The company I used to work for changed from a longevity system to a merit increase system a couple of years ago.  We first set up a system to grade each position based on knowledge required to do the job, how much independent judgement was required, how much supervisory responsibility there was, amount of contact with outside organizations and the purpose of the contact.  I don't remember all the categories, I think there were 8. Each job was rated on this criteria and given points.  Salary ranges were assigned points and jobs were assigned ranges.  Existing employees were looked at to see if the range assigned to their job fit and sometimes arbitrary adjustments were made.  then each employee was assisned a pay rate within the range based on their length of time in the organization.  Employees who had been underpaid in the old system were increased and employees who had been overpaid were frozen until merit increases caught up.

Okay once you are in country you will no longer pay federal taxes on your pay.  As long as you are in the country at least one day of any given month, you will receive the non taxable status.  The second increase you will see is hazardous duty pay which is $250 a month.  So if you are an e-4 with over 3 years, you could bring home about $1800-1900 per month.  If you are there a year and you only spend $400 per month, you could save $18,000.  Also another way guys come home alot of money is reenlisting while over there.  If you sign you reenlistment while over there, it will not be taxed either.  \nHope this helps!!

It depends on if you are coming in as enlisted (and what rank) or as an officer.  \n\nCheck out this site for up to date info.   http://www.military.com/military/benefits/0,15465,military_pay_charts,00.html

you would normally go in as an E-1, but seeing you have two associates, the recruiter will be more likely to tell you about the warrant officer carreer path, my recruiter tried to get me go there but i went as an officer instead, but if anything wo-1's get paid more than regular e-1's.

warrant officer IS a rank (Warrent Officer 1, Chief Warrant 2, 3 & 4). The difference is a warrant officer is not "Commissioned" as a so-called regular officer. Commissioned officers hold presidential commissions and are confirmed at their ranks by the Senate. Warrant officers hold warrants from their service secretary and are specialists and experts in certain military technologies or capabilities. Check with the recruiter for details. Don't bother with Air Force... they do not have Warrent Officers.\n\nEdit: No offense to Jim below, but part of his answer is incorrect. A CW2 in the army has the exact same pay as a CW2 in the navy. The payscale is DoD based, not service specific.

It means their job title is in the "Legal Department" within the Marine Corps. He may be a clerk which is like an administrative job, or it could also be someone who record, researches, or finds out about Directives,Rules, regulations or other things.
