looks like the wages are preset, so ask what your salary will be.

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.

Money, basically. As long as they got paid, the soldiers would fight.

An employee and an employer should be able to decide what the fair market wage is for the job at hand.  If $8.50 is what the market dictates then that should be a good starting point.  If you feel you are worth more and can show the employer that they would be better off in hiring you at a higher rate than some other bloke off the street then you and the employer should be able to negotiate that.\n\nIn Liberty,\nEric H.

As I am getting ready to retire after 20 years in the Navy I can tell you they do not pay enough!!  I know men with less education that do the same job, work less hours and do less that is outside the realm of their "job" and make a LOT more than I do.  I could spend an hour or so explaining what I do that is outside my job realm but is still apart of my "job" but suffice it to say we do not make enough.\nHaving said all of that, we do get quite a few perks.  We make money that is not taxed. We will always have a roof over our head and food in our guts.  It may not be 4 star cuisine and a 5 star hotel, but it isn't a cardboard box and McDonalds either.  We get medical care and dental care for nada.  But we get what we pay for.  Some of the Navy Docs are good, some aren't.  I get to retire at 38 and collect a paycheck for  the rest of my life.  I get to go to college using my GI Bill.  I went to college and took 4 classes and it cost me about $250.00, the rest was tuition assistance.  \nSo the military isn't for everyone.  But it was a good move for me.

Don't know exactly but you could try looking at http://www.tes.co.uk/Your_Career/Pay_scales_2006-8/

I suggest doing some research along with talking to your local recruiters.  Basic pay is the same across the board but it's the special duty pay that may differ.  In terms of moving up the enlisted chain, they all go to E-9.  Army and Marines just have different names but the manner in which you reach higher ranks differ from service to service.  Your drive and dedication will determine how quickly you advance.  Jump at every opportunity to attend special skills schools like Airborne and Air Assult.  Work hard at earning an Expert Infantry Badge.  Volunteer for special duty assignments, if you qualify.  Note my suggestions learn towards Army experience.  So go out, talk to your recruiters, make a decision, get out to the MEPS, take your ASVAB and get rolling.  Oh and if you have the time, take advantage of the tuition assistance and get your degree, just in case infantry doesn't work out.

Yea, it is ok. KBR is a private company that can pay the people they send over there anything they want. The military is on a payscale and pays differently. It has always been considered shady, but welcome to a free market economy vs government pay.

I assume you mean the Unted States Air Force.  All USAF personnel, officers AND enlisted are obligated to pay all of their debts under the conditions the debts were made.  In addition, if you do not pay your debts while in service your commanding officer will receive a letter from your note holder(s) and you will be closely counseled.  In some cases it may even be necessary for the military to "attach" your salary for the amount you owe.

A pilot with an ATPL would basically be a commander who in todays market commands anywhere from 2.5 to 6 lacks per month. A first officer starts at 80k upto 2.5 laks

An Army captain in the US is at pay grade O-3, and receives pay of at least $3200 per month, depending on the length of service.  At over 3 years of service, the pay is over $3900/month, and at over 4 years of service, over $4200/month,  with the maximum pay at that grade rising to just over $5200/month after 14 years of service, though at that point in a career, one should be at least one pay grade higher.\n\nhttp://www.dod.mil/dfas/militarypay/newinformation/WebPayTableVersion2006updated.pdf

It's not yet updated with 2006 rates, but here is a good site for all things pay-related in the armed services:\n\nhttp://www.defenselink.mil/militarypay/index.html\n\nIf he's not already in boot camp, his recruiter should be able to provide that info.
