It's not all tax free for officers.

Here is the link to the 2007 military pay chart.

See note 4.

Officer pay is tax free up to 6642.6 which is the pay of the SGM of the army. So an LTC at max pay would pay tax on $700.00.

I stand corrected...I guess the common wisdom that all pay is tax free comes from the fact that most officers make less than the 6642.60 limit. After 26 years, I'm just a bit over that. ;)

Thanks for the clarification.
