      Don't know if they still do this, but when you're in an active combat environment, you're tax exempt for the duration of that operation. During Desert Storm, our salary was not taxed for about 2-3 months from the start of the operation all the way up to the cease fire.

      They pay far less taxes than their civilian counterparts though. And they pay no taxes when stationed or deployed overseas! Something to keep in mind. Also, I’ve yet to meet anyone that did more than seven or eight years that got out without any form of minor or severe injuries they can claim a VA disability rating for.

    Being a submariner was great because we got sea pay, sub pay, and as an E5 w BAH and roommate, we pocketed so much money. And whenever we went underway, you just were out to sea for X amount of time with the only money being spent were your bills on autopay.

    My base pay in 1981 was $426 per month. When I was in Oki in 1986 I think it was 130 yen per dollar. For context, it was 500 yen per dollar in the early 1970s. Things were definitely expensive in Okinawa compared to the US in 1986.

    As a former E5 in the army I can say that the base pay isn’t all that great. But, if you’re a highly skilled soldier in a high op-tempo MOS, 18 series in particular, that number can be quite a bit higher. If your job pays a big bonus, that adds to your potential earnings too. I was a Medic and Practical Nurse during my time in. My last few years my pay averaged about 50k year, but I re-enlisted 3 separate times. Each tie I got a re-enlistment bonus. One fir 15k, one for 10k, and a third for $7,500. When I was stateside I also had time off to work as an LVN in civil sector too, and usually made around $24-28 hr doing that on the side.

    Any young service members should learn from this, but also understand that most families have a different tax bracket, jobs take out more for medical and insurance and retirement, so while me and my wife together may make 150,000$ a year we may clear about the same amount. But that would include putting extra into retirement, Ive put in extra so i could retire 10 years early while making more $ staying home than going into work. I explained this to my son that went into the marines how to take advantage of free housing and utilities and food and atart the 401 besides the Millitary retirement. DId he listen, he bought the expensive car with high insurance. Complining he has no money, gets out of the service and gets a minimum wage job and complains of his struggle being broke. I got out of the millitary because of very long hours working every day, i realized that other soldiers sometimes dont work the same shifts and get weekends off and 4 day weekends, i loved the service but made the decision that if im working 16 hour days, to get paid for every hour, never realiized that after 8 hours you get overtime. Bonus to work longer hours.

    Great video Devil Dog. Non rates don’t understand that if they just suck it up for a few more years they can have a very comfortable life. If they get married to someone with a good career and make it to staff NCO there are very few civilian jobs that can compare. They don’t understand how BAS can help with a mortgage payment especially combining it with a VA loan and how selling a home after your time at that duty station can help pay for your next home and so on.
    if this would’ve been explained to me as Lance Corporal I would’ve had no issue with a re-up. Many non rates just see that scrap pay check and want to keep partying and don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel. As an E6 in Lejeune or Pendleton and a spouse with e decent career you can live better than a civilian with way more job security.

So those guys are doing very well as a volunteer Military. That is why they took commissary and PX off of Government and made them private they are making civilian pay it better, now prices are same as WM

      You choose with your recruiter, but the mos selection process is complicated. Make sure if you are to join, your contract guarantees your mos being open to you after mct. If that is guaranteed your job is yours

      you choose a field and the marines gives you one within the field. For example you can choose aircrew and get one of the multiple jobs within that, i think it includes mechanic and some other ones idk. Or if you choose construction as your field then they give you any random job within construction that they need at the time. I think there are like 20-30 fields to choose between

      The marines promise nothing, however you will take a general aptitude test in boot camp. Based on that test, and the needs of the Marine Corps at that time, you may be assigned to motor transport but it’s not something you can, or would even dream of requesting once you’re enlisted. The Army may give you a contract for motor transport but not the Marines. And by the way, every marines primary MOS is Rifleman. If needed, you can be yanked right out of your secondary MOS in time of need. I saw this happen to thousands in Vietnam.
