What is the pay difference between an E-4 marine and an E-4 marine force recon?

Answer 1

The basic pay difference between a Corporal and a Corporal is just that. Nothing. The base pay for an E-4 (as of 2012) is between $1,947 and $2,363 depending on how many years of service he or she has. It doesn't matter if the Marine is a Scout Sniper or a potato peeler.

However, there are some differences in pay depending on many different factors (not including PMOS). Most of which are out of the scope of this question though, some may apply: Imminent Danger Pay (IDP) is pay that a Marine is likely to get for being in a hostile area or where hostile fire is present. IDP is $7.50 per day while in the area with a max amount of $225 per month (30 days). Another could be Cost of Living Allowance (COLA). COLA is a taxable allowance that is used to cover the extra expenses associated with living in a particular area. The amount of COLA received is depends on the zip code of the duty station that the Marine is stationed to.

Answer 2

The pay difference between an E-4 Marine and an E-4 Marine in Force Recon depends on various factors such as years of service and location. In general, Marines in Force Recon may receive additional pay and allowances based on their specialized training and job responsibilities, such as dive pay or parachute pay. However, the specific pay difference can vary greatly and should be referred to the most up-to-date military pay charts for accurate information.
