yea i don't know where you got 30k in the military if u add basic housing allowance and subsistence, I come up with around 50k on average per year ....

im using this military calculator:

you have to add on their ridiculous sign on bonus (30k for AF), free graduate schooling, regular promotion to O3, tuition repayment, etc... i would like to see you find all that in the private sector!

I do have four years prior service, but I'll be making just under sixty grand as well. I'm also married, so that cranks my housing allowance up quite a bit.

The original post is pretty old, but the thing is, that person who posted about the pay KNEW what she was going to make before she signed on the dotted line - if she didn't like the pay, she didn't have to accept the commission.

People who gripe about the pay AFTER they've signed on - I don't understand that. You knew before you went in, you accepted the terms, it's a done deal.

When I started, I made $19.37 an hour - and I've only been an RN since 01/08.
