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.
Both my hubby and son re-enlisted while they were in Iraq...my hubby did his aboard a Chinook flying above Anaconda...it was very cool...

Thank you....it is their pleasure to serve...they wouldn’t have it any other way.
