US Military Ranks Pay Rates and Benefits

See the current pay-grade listings, pay changes EVERY YEAR (COLA-Cost of Living Adjustments). Pay grade is the E grade; a Sergeant in the US Army is an E-5. A corporal or specialist is an E-4, Private First Class is an E-3, Privates are E-2 and E-1. Officers will have an "O" grade; 0-1 is a 2nd Lieutenant, 0-3 is a Captain, etc.

Here is a link below to the Army's website page that shows you what they earn. Just make sure you read the whole page and check the bonus links because they are paid bonuses for many different things which brings their total pay way higher than the basic pay.

Follow thru with the terminology of "Lt. Col." do not switch out to Colonel. Gross mistake in accurate information. If it is uncomfortable (?), for any reason stick with "0-5". Reference to pay return to prior individuals' information. Thanks...

Be proficient at your job, demonstrate that you have the ability to lead, take whatever courses/classes you can to give yourself an edge, be able to pass a promotion board, keep your PT and marksmanship scores up, don't do anything which will get administrative action against you.

General of the Army- 5 stars, arranged in a circle.

A sergeant is sent to do all types of jobs. Depending what his job is. But the sergeant is suppose to lead and protect any enlisted members below his ranking. He can't control any enlisted members above his rank or any officers. The sergeant is usually the leader of a squad of about 5 to 10 soldiers. If it is a company there is bound to be a higher commander like a officer somewhere between a lieutenant and a colonel. I would be surprised if there was a sergeant in command of a company.

The 600-ship never quite made it that far, but it got close - it topped out at around 535 total active ships.

700

Assuming they served only 20 years-

Short answer: Roughly $2,000 a month.

Long answer:

It will depend on the retirement plan the service member picked.

If the service member picked the high three retirement plan then they will average the service members base pay over the last three years. Then whatever the amount is they will give them 50%. They will gain an additional 2.5% to their retirement for every year over 20- therefore someone retiring at 22 years will received 55% of their high three.

If the service member picked the REDUX plan then they should have received $30K at their 15 year mark and they will only get 40%. But every year over 20 the service member will gain 3.5% So a service member who retires at 22 years will get 47% of their base pay plus they already received the $30K.

One last thing to consider is if the service member picked the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP). That program will be taken out of the retirement money if it is chosen.

it depends on his rank all service members get paid by rank not by what they do.

the only thing he gets on top of his normal pay is 450 dollars per month. this extra pay is to cover expenses from working of base. got o military.com for a pay chart

The smallest and most important element of the US Army is the individual soldier. Soldiers are grouped in units from smallest to largest by Squads, Platoons, Companies/Batteries/Troops (depending on the type of unit), Battalions/Squadron (depending on unit type), Brigades/Regiments/Groups (depending on unit type), Divisions, and Corps. Before and during WW2 Corps were organized by theater of operation under Armies, but this level hasn't been utilized since the end of WW2. The seven US Army Corps answer directly to the Pentagon and Department of Defense.

I'm assuming that if someone is asking this they are thinking of enlisting in the Marine Corps. Wise decision. The basic monthly pay for someone attending recruit trainig is 1203.90. This is for your first 4 months in any military service. After 4 months it goes up to 1301.40. This is assuming you come in as a Private and do not get any meritorious promotions in your contract or while in Recruit Training. All food, medical, dental and housing expenses are also paid for you. If you have no bills you can pocket the entire paycheck every month. A full version of the military pay tables is available online at http://www.dfas.mil/militarypay/2006militarypaytables.html. If you are stationed overseas you will also be paid a Cost of living Allowance because it costs more to live overseas. All services pay is based off the same chart so the pay will be the same in any service. I hope this answers your question.

In another words, you work harder in the US Marines for no more pay than the Army. The reasons for joining the Marines is thus not purely financial because if it were, you would not be joining the Marines.

Brigadier General Benjamin Oliver Davis, Sr. Entered the officer ranks in 1898 during the war with Spain. In November 1944 he became Special Assistant to the Commanding General, Communications Zone, European Theater of Operations, stationed in Paris, France, and in November 1945 was granted a period of detached service for the purposes of recuperation and rehabilitation. In January 1946 he again became Assistant, The Inspector General, Washington, D.C. He retired on 14 July 1948, after having served fifty years. General Davis died on November 26, 1970. His remains are interred in Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia. His son, Lieutenant General Benjamin O. Davis, Jr., (U.S. Air Force, Retired), is the fourth African American graduate of the U.S. Military Academy and the nation's second African American general officer. You did say Staff Officer (also called Flag Officer)in your question, but here's some more info: First Black Officer promoted in the field was Stephen Swails of Cooperstown, Mass in 1864. First Black Officer to graduate from West Point Academy was Henry Flipper in 1877.

1/2 (Half) of whatever their rank/rate pay was at retirement.

Also, This goes up every time active duty pay goes up or gets a raise.

Example: If you were a Chief and making $2,000 at retirement

you would get $1,000/month. Then when the Navy got a raise

which is usually ever couple years by about 5% your pay goes

up too. Here is an Enlisted Pay Chart for 2012. Retiree's get half

of whatever this pay is according to this chart plus medical benefits.

The highest ranking officer of the US Marine Corps is Commandant of the Marine Corps Paygrade O-10.

During the war George Marshall (Dec 16 1944), Douglas MacArthur (Dec 18 1944) and Dwight Eisenhower (Dec 20 1944), and from the Army Air Force Henry H. "Hap" Arnold (December 21 1944) were made five star General of the Army. Omar Bradley was also promoted to the rank (September 22 1950).

From the Navy William Leahy (December 15 1944), Ernest King (December 17 1944) and Chester Nimitz (December 19 1944), and then just after the war William Halsey (December 11 1945) were made Admiral of the Fleet.

These nine officers are the only five star officers the US has ever had.

Some contend that John J. Pershing, commander of the AEF during WWI and afterward Chief of Staff of the US Army was a six star general, based on the fact that congress made him "General of the Armies", which sounds superior to General of the Army. Congress never indicated just what was meant as far as the relative ranks of Pershing and the generals of the next war, and Pershing wore no special insignia to denote his rank as General of the Armies.

By Act of Congress July 4, 1976, George Washington was made superior to all other generals of the US Army. No rank or insignia was prescribed. During the Revolution Washington was self-appointed a Lieutenant General.

depends on how many years he's been in the military, and how many dependants he has. somewhere between 3 to 4 thousand BASE pay a month plus money for housing. Google military pay charts for exacts

According to my last contact with LtGeneral William B. Caldwell IV, he informs me he lost his wife and four out of five children an an automobile accident while vacationing in Australia. He claims his only remaining son is currently attending West Point Academy....truth or fiction?

No. The Secretary of Defense is second to the President. Then comes the Secretary of the Military Branch THEN comes the Joint Chief of Staff. And below the Joint Chief would be the four star General or known just as a General. Below this rank in descending order are: A Lieutenant General, Major General, Brigadier General, and then comes Colonel. For the US Navy the rank names are a bit different. Under the Joint Cheif of the Navy comes an Admiral. Then comes the Vice Admiral, then the Upper Rear Admiral, and finally a Lower Rear Admiral, followed by the Ship Captain.

Honestly, it depends where you live. In other places, the salary may be more, or it could be less.

The actual position of Training NCO is a job title. One can serve as a unit TNCO as an E-3 (I did), however the position is typically reserved for E-4 and above, generally not above the rank of E5 however. An E-6 or E-7 could serve in the job, however he would be severely under-utilized for his experience and training.

The head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has "Chairman" for a title, and the current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is Admiral Michael Mullen. Wikipedia has a post on the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS, or just "the Joint Chiefs"), and a link is provided below. By surfing on over, you can see who the current Chairman of the JCS is (even if it changes!), and you can also find out who else is a member of the Joint Chiefs. Remember that the Joint Chiefs is made up of the heads of each branch of the service. Why not check out that Wikipedia post? It's got a lot of good information, including a history of the JCS - all posted for free.

This could be quite a broad answer as there are many products of the numbers mentioned in the question. However, working on an average somewhere between the two it is estimated that the gross salary of a pay scale of this nature in an IDA pattern would be 15845 approximately.
