It depends on a number of factors, such as rank, time in service, and pay grade. A brand new recruit on basic pay with the lowest pay grade makes about $1,294.50 a month, which comes out to about $12,000 and change a year. However, this salary increases exponentially over as your rank and number of months served increases. Plus, a perk to being in the military is that money is very easily accessible. For example, third party companies like military loans.com give out lots of money to military personnel; my friend got $5,000 from them to pay off his credit card debt! Hope this helped!

How much is a military pension?

I am not exactly sure.....but I would guess that for a 20 year man that it would be around 2000$ a month?


Why did the military draft lead some people to describe the war as a poor man fight?

Other than community colleges; colleges and universities cost money. Rich men could afford both lawyers and college. The poor man got drafted.


If you are a military contractor and you worked overseas is that considered as you serving time for the military?

Civilians work for money. Military personnel are serving their country...money comes second; that's why sometimes men are drafted...low pay, sometimes even no pay (it will be paid whenever the government can get the funds to the men/and or a place to spend it). Civilians can quit...up until the end of the Vietnam War, military men could NOT quit. It would be the stockade if they tried. Civilians are working FOR the military, FOR MONEY; they are not IN THE MILITARY (unless drafted). The ONLY benefit the military man will get will be retirement at age 38 or 39, if he joined the service at age 18. That will be far and above the average civilian who still working at age 62 thru 65. Military personnel pay now (hardships), play later (early retirement benefits). Civilian personnel play now (freedom to quit, freedom to make more money), PAY LATER (by working until they are in the 50's and 60's until they can receive a pension).
