Most service members receive extra $$ for going to the Middle East- Hazardous Duty Pay and are paid extra if they are married and $$ for each dependent.

In the last year I spent in US Navy, I made more $$ than after I got out, went to college and got my first civilian job. It took me 2 years to make what I was making in the Navy.


Just sayin'.
That may be the Navy...but other branches are different...and things may be different than when you were in the Navy...our country had cut back on many things due to the economic situation.

All the best and our sincere thanks for your service...Peace, R.
