Yes. Every enlisted gets $375 a month special duty pay just for being SF and living the lifestyle. Also, $150 a month demolitions pay and $150 a month parachute pay. Then more if they're HALO, SCUBA and rate high on the language skills. There are bonuses and currently the amount relates directly to their individual language skills. |

Quoted: TDY temporary duty, time away for home duty station, trips far away. I would argue most trips don't pay well. Quoted: Quoted: TDY? DFAS? Not familiar with these acronyms....  DFAS, defense paying system Depends on how much beer you drink  |
You asked an intelligent well phrased question. For this effort (which sadly yet amusingly is beyond the majority of your generation) you received a knowledgeable answer. And, being from Ohio, you didn't make fun of Southerners about not knowing how to drive.There is a lot many could learn from you.

Just my curiosity, figured I could turn here. And to clarify a bit more, all military is paid "base pay" which you can think of as salary. There is no "overtime" for watch, travel, or working for a week straight. If you bust your hump, your DO might sign off on a day or two of liberty that won't be counted against your leave. You can go here to look at military base pay. http://www.dfas.mil/militarymembers/payentitlements/militarypaytables.html |
| I would say it depends. There are a lot of perk pays for different assignments. For instance, I am over 3 consecutive years sea pay with 100 dollar arduous sea time kicker. Add on to that I get all my bas, so right there is over 800 total. Whereas normal folk don't collect bas or the sea pay kicker. |
