I'm sure he pays for something. I was focusing more on you not working. Child support can't pay for that much. it does not matter anyways. He is modding the car quick enough. Did not mean to upset you.

I think it pays fine and I live on base, have two kids, with a house wife, and I have two car payments on an 06 Acura RSX Type S and an 02 Acura TL Type S.

So if you don't think you get paid enough what more could you ask for as an early 20 something year old?

Exactly. Now if they would just take prior service for avionic electronics technicians. I would be in tomorrow. I would go through the marine's bootcamp just to get in the air force.

that is devotion, but what rank are you to afford nice things?

Right now I'm an E-4 with 3 years of service, but I made E-5 so I am just waiting to put my stripe on.

I'm thinking of going to base housing IF I get to come back.

Isn't the pay simply based on what rank you are? So it’s straight across the board?

I was thinking of going into the Navy a few years ago, after I graduated college. I decided against it, since I would make a whole lot more in the private sector. I have a BS in chemical engineering, and was looking at the Navy's nuclear sub program (entering as an officer). But, I found a g/f who didn't want me on a sub with a bunch of guys for months at a time, so that ended my fiasco.

You would make bank doing that. 90k reenlistments on top of the rank.

I would probably do it, but I am married now. I make about 70K per year in the private sector now ( I have one years experience). What rank would I need to be to make that?

[KillerRabbit]

yea, im about to sell the subaru and get out of that mess. that is unless the guy backs out of the deal. he wants a broken one so he can mess with it.
My prelude i sold two days ago and now i got The CIVIC left.

Lets see what happens.

[lovecheese]

I have my car bill and my credit card (star) which I wanna pay off... but then again, don't wanna so I can get credit.

It's based on rank and years of service. Jobs that have special skills or are hard to attain usually get incentive pays or big bonuses. Officer's that have special degrees like a doctor for example, get special pays and more rank upon entering the service.

We have chemical engineers where I work since an engineering degree is required to be an officer in my careerfield. Our Captain has a Master's in Mechanical Engineering and the Air Force payed for his entire tuition through Ohio State University. Not only did they do that but he attains rank at an accelerated pace.

As far as making 70k a year. You have to look at the military basic pay chart with some scrutiny. Remeber basic pay is just that base amount that you get that does not include housing and food allowances. If you live off base you could earn another 10 - 20k a year to pay for house payment and bills. That doesnt include free medical coverage for you and your family plus all the tax free benfits, discounts, and bonuses, etc.
