Huh?? An E-1 with less than 2 years service (bootcamper - off to one of Obama's wars) is making $1450 a month!
That's good pay to you?
You probably make more in Food Stamps than that.
That E-1 doesn't have to pay for housing or food out of that money.....
True - if he's married, he gets a little extra to pay rent if living off base. Not much. And the government doesn't deliver food, diapers, and baby food. He pays for that out of that money. But, you knew that.
If you can't find the military pay chart I'd be happy to post it.
$8-8.50 is GOOD starting wages here in KY.
That is less than 1450/mo.
Hmm maybe why KY has so many enlisting?
$8.80 is a good wage for an ex-con, not for people getting shot at on deployment with families and mortgages back home, dumbass.
yeah, because e-1s all have mortgages, fuckwit
banks are lining up to give 18 yo kids mortgages.
hellooooo
I served 25 years doing something, but I forget what it was.
making $1450 a month with benefits, like a roof over the head, meals (same as food stamps - government issued), medical care (including dental), and more...
Roof over head - if housing is available.
Meals for the family and the servicemember if married? I don't think so.
Medical/dental for the family - that's the least they can do for the young kid on deployment getting shot at. $1450/month before taxes amounts to SHIT for a salary.

Why does one have to be 18, no family, to be an E-1?
Many E-1s have degrees, are in their 20s, are married have kids. You expect them to live in the barracks with their wives and kids? They either rent or have a mortgage.

"a little"?
What military were you in?
Pope AFB where I spent the bulk of my time in the Air Force currently has a BAH rate of
$1023/mo for an E-1 with a dependent.
Pope AFB (Pope Field) Housing :: Pope AFB (Pope Field), NC Housing & Relocation Information
That money is TAX FREE.
I split a three bedroom apt with two other guys when I was an A1C and was splitting and $800/mo rent bill with them. I had money coming out my ears.
in what world do you live in where many e-1s have degrees?$8.80 is a good wage for an ex-con, not for people getting shot at on deployment with families and mortgages back home, dumbass.

Why does this actually surprise anyone? Barry and his boys mouth a good one-liner, but when it comes down to it, those boys and girls that are serving their country are nothing more than expendable assets to them. They don't give a rats a*s about the men and women serving in the military and they never will.
Lefties believe the military is evil... Unions are good. GAWD...
if we were underpaying our military recruitment would be an issue.
is it?

The military has always been underpaid. It's always been an issue. Had you ever served, you'd know that.

and yet who was it that started two ground wars for.... what exactly?
talk about viewing the military as expendable.

if the military has always been underpaid how are we able to meet recruitment goals?

Normally if you have the rank of E-1 you are in training and are seperated from your family. If you are at your reg duty station or deployed and have the rank of E-1 it is because you got an article 15 so, no tears for those people
