$15,120 as an Ensign in 1987 + $50 a month flight pay so $15,720 total a year. I was single, lived on Perdido Key within an easy walk to the Floribama , had a sports car and flew jets for a living.

It's been downhill since then. laugh


I went in through the PLC program so we accrued longevity from the date we signed up, not the date of commissioning. First year I got paid as an O-1 over 4, it ticked off the academy guys that we were making more than them.
