You folks who think that Latisha Burgerflipper needs $15.00/hr. Why don't we also pay "The tip of the Spear" at least that? We have PFC/lance Coolly (E-3) walking point in "Indian Country" for a wage that qualifies him for food stamps. I know that this is a wee off topic, but every time some one brings up the $15.00 wage, it rips me a new one. Favor Center

I agree with that TOTALLY. The 15 min is total BS.
What we pay our troops is total BS too.
Although a buddy bought a boat off a combat medic, that is headed back across and the medic told my buddy he'd make 160K in the next year.
That sounds awful high to me. I mean as in can't be correct.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

"The typical US Army Combat Medic salary is $38,826. Combat Medic salaries at US Army can range from $21,000-$68,072. This estimate is based upon 26 US Army Combat Medic salary reports provided by employees." (all stateside)
Combat pay $225/ month, tax free
"Military members with dependents also receive Family Separation Allowance (FSA) of $250.00 per month, anytime they are away from their families (due to military orders) for 30 days or longer.
Finally, members in a combat zone are authorized to to deposit up to $10,000 (per year) of their pay and allowances into a special savings account, that pays a guaranteed 10 percent interest per year."
Still a long way from $150K
