This table includes the monthly base pay for all pay grades, as well as any incentive pay.

Single soldiers deployed to Iraq/Afghanistan, they would receive Hazardous Duty pay: $150 and Hostile Fire Pay: $225 for all pay grades

Married Soldiers would also receive Family separation allowance of $250 for all pay grades

So, for an Private E-2 with less than 2 years of service, that's quite a bonus over his monthly base of $1,509, but not even close to 3x his base pay.

For a Major 0-4, with over 12 years of service, it's a drop in the bucket of his base pay of $6,088

We would type away for hours before and afterwards on our IRC channel. It was cool meeting the people in person to see who we were chatting w

Journal Journal: War

My wife takes the bus. Why not, I can drop her off at her bus stop on my way to work. I drive the "economy" car so it works out pretty good. So our gas guzzling mini-van gets to stay parked at home only to be used to take our brood to church. Now that it costs close to $40 just to fill it, we've had the same tank of gas in it for 2 weeks now and it's still on 3/4 tank.
