How much do you make a year?

[Wyoming]

I know its not alot but, I want get a general idea of how much money I will be making. How much did you make your first and second year? Including allowance and hazard pay or whatever its called. Thanks for any information you have.

If you are going in for the money - - you got a rude awakening.

i hear the air force gives you steaks everyday and not just once a year. You wont have the newest equipment like every branch .

basically it's not the pay but you dont need much money to live you need no clothes just a car gas insurance and your ride for life card and buddys to get beer and of course a mcdonalds and a strategically placed subway. You got the eclub free pool comon room TV movies everythign is there you have a gym..

The plusses far out weight the money.


With that being said I will give you advice. On the 29th and 14th of every month try to make it to the chow hall earlier than normal.

I don't care that I'm not gonna make alot, I just wanted a idea of how much spending cash I would have. Thanks. Believe me if I cared about the money I would have gone to the Army for the big ass signing bounus.

If you get deployed with a MEU, you will get sea pay. The big bucks start once you get a minimum of 2 years of sea duty.

Plus more money if you get assigned to combat cargo.

Save your money for PI...

Plus more money if you get assigned to combat cargo.

Be careful what you wish for, for your wish may come true.
