This is definitely a common question amongst those who are considering the military.
PAY!
Like many other organizations in this world, the military bases pay off of a PAY CHART or PAY SCALE —The way it works is the higher you go on the pay scale (YOUR RANK), the more money you make overall. On the same note, the longer you’re in the military total, the more money you will make within that same rank and over time.

MAIN TYPES OF ADDITIONAL PAY:
- Special Duty Assignment (SDA) pay
(Recruiters, Drill instructors, Combat Instructors, Marine security guard,) earn extra pay per month on top of their normal pay checks.
- Basic allowance for housing (BAH) For those who are married (this varies based off your duty station zip code) and if you’re an E6+ and single, you automatically rate BAH. (Single service members CAN qualify for single BAH but its not too common)
- Special pay: Jump school, dive school, crew chief, etc
- Language pay: Depending on the language and if it’s being used in your duties, you can make over $1000 extra per month (case by case)
-Cost of living allowance (COLA) this is paid to service members overseas where the cost of living is much higher than in the states. The military pays you more to compensate for this.
- Family separations allowance (FSA) this is paid when the service member is more than 250 miles away from their family for an extended amount of time.

There are additional pays but these are the MAIN ONES.

Lastly we get paid every two weeks (1st and 15th) No matter what! It doesn’t matter if there is a pandemic or a recession or something going on in the world that has the potential to affect civilians and their pay, your pay in the military will always be guaranteed
