He’s a corporal with the Marines and he’s been in for nearly 3 1/2 years.

Well as an E-4 over 3, married with dependents allowance, he'll be bringing in around $40,000 a year without factoring separation pay or any specialty pay or any bonuses he may get for re-enlisting. That's not bad for someone in their early 20's.

I've no doubt he'd like a raise. Join the club.

Are you serious? I had no idea he would be pulling in that much. Shoot. I loaned him some money to buy a car last year. He better pay me back.

I spent many years in the military and I’ll be the last to suggest that they don’t earn their money. But the military pay scales aren’t bad either.

Thank you so very very much for your families service to our country, you as the wife and mother are just as much an intricate part of the service as your husband and son are and I thank you for that!!
