How do they pay on duty soldiers?
492940
Soldiers are paid based on their rank and years in service.  If a soldier is deployed to Iraq or other places he/she gets more money and it tax-free.  There isn't alot to spend money on there, they would be using Dollars since AAFES is where they would do any shopping.  AAFES are the people who run PX's, fast food places on post, etc.  They set up mobile PX's and Shoppettes in deployed areas.\n\nSoldiers are paid via direct deposit, they don't issue paper checks anymore.

The rank is not ceremonial but is only given in times of war.  There is no pay raise for the rank O-10 is the highest you can get paid and thats not too bad $14158.30 per month oh yeah and because Generals cut their own orders it will probably be tax free.  Thats 170,000 per year not bad huh

jack430 gave you a great link to the pay chart.  And you get paid twice a month.  Half on the first, half on the fifteenth.  Plus, remember that is just the basic pay.  If you have dependants, are in a combat zone, etc.  you rate extra pay.

Wages are usually on an hourly basis.\n\nSalary is a fixed amount.\n\nIncome is any money you get.

Both answers are correct.  There is no "average" pay.  Since the pay is based on rank, time in service, time in grade, with/without family, location, etc.  The pay also increases annually.\n\nIf you want to know what the pay is, go here:\n\nhttp://www.dod.mil/dfas/militarypay/newinformation/WebPayTableVersion2006updated.pdf

Go online the pay rates for e-1 to 0-6 and higher are published each year in the Military times Ie NAVY times. As well as BAQ BAS and most hazzardous duity pay. If you already have a contract signed you should go see your Officer recruiter has he will have the list of published current pay rates.

They all pay the same basic pay.  I'm sure the special pay is different for each service.  You can check out the DFAS website, http://www.dod.mil/dfas/.  If you're concerned about your mortgage, you also get a little thing called BAH, Basic Allowance for Housing.  How much you receive is based on rank and duty location.  It's not based on where you live.  For instance, if you are stationed in a high cost area like Washington DC, you will receive more than someone stationed in Indianapolis.  You can check that out yourself, by choosing a service under military pay information.  Then select "basic pay" and then click "current pay rates".  You should then see a chart for current pay rates and also information about BAH.  Use the calculator to see how much you would get based on the zipcode.

You answered your own question. They are Civil Servants and get paid, vacations,  retirement,  and days off even if they never finish anything.

It's pretty much up to the individual.  Back in the day (decades ago) every thing was paid for so when you got paid you had nothing to spend it on.  If you were wise you saved it, otherwise they would go on spending sprees which usually involved booze and other unmentionables.  If the individual is married it's no different than being married to someone in the military as far as the time apart is concerned.

Military pay=\nYour rank with time in rank+\npay if you have dependants+\nspecial pay like dive pay, hazzardous duty pay.\nSEALs make quit a bit more than other servicemen.

It depends on his duty station and his rank. I have attached two links - one is for cost of living - the other is pay scale. He will get three pays - standard - housing (if off post) - and BAS (food).\nEmail me if you have any questions.\n\nhttp://www.dod.mil/dfas/militarypay/newinformation/WebPayTableVersion2006updated.pdf\n\nhttps://secureapp2.hqda.pentagon.mil/perdiem/bah.html

In federal prison, prisoners sometimes have the option to work for UNICOR which is the federal prison industry.  They make a range of goods for the federal government from office furntiure to auto parts to coveralls and other textiles.  Usually the prisoners make wages that they can use to buy things in the prison commissary.  They are not subject to the minimum wage and are generally paid VERY low wages in the area of a dollar or less per hour.  Due to federal "truth in sentencing" laws no federal prisoners get time off for good behavior by working or doing anything else for that matter.\n\nAlso at the US Military Disciplinary Barracks (Fort Leavenworth), the prisoners have the option to take part in a whole host of work opportunities that are actually open to the public at Leavenworth.  They run a bakery (delicious doughnuts) and an auto detail shop that made my car look brand new from bumper-to-bumper for less than thirty bucks.

My husband is also in the military, and he gets paid on the Friday before the 15th and 30th.  He is in the USMC so I don't know about army or navy or guard.  Hope this helps.

I think the German army, if they stationed in the US they even get a paid vacation home. Never heard that in the US army.

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.
