During the Vietnam War era, ALL servicemen (no matter what the branch...Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force, etc.) received the SAME pay; E-1 in boot camp. Accelerated promotions to E-2 on graduation day was for enlisted men (boot camp trainees) that performed extra well. Normally however, all men made E-2 within weeks of leaving boot camp. Men landing directly into Vietnam within a month or two from basic training (boot camp) were instantly promoted to E-3 (PFC-Private First Class for the US Army). Six months to a year in Nam, a GI made E-4 (Corporal/Spec 4). If a lot of action occurred (fighting, dying, dust-off wounded, etc.) then the GI made E-5 (Buck Sergeant)...if it happened alot and too often...they were called "blood stripes" because the GI got promoted based upon the deaths of the men ahead of him.
An E-1 made $90 a month; an E-4 in Vietnam made roughly $350 a month (tax free-all net). This counts the $9 over-seas pay and $60 combat pay (or vice versa) which was combined with the GI's base pay.
