ok I will sum it up for you.. first off I am a first year officer, so if you are enlisting I would first say go to college, then get commissioned, or enlist for 2-4 years, have them pay for college, then get commissioned. Anyways I get $2100 a month base salary, and that is the only part not taxable. I get $150 flight pay a month, $650 for housing, $150 for BAS. So after taxes every month I take home about $2500 take home after taxes. Right now I am TDY which pays me an additional $1200 a month (for 4 months while I am here). Food is good cause I buy whatever I want... not that chow hall crap.. as for quality of life it's pretty good.. Ops tempo is high right now.. but you tend to get lots of days off here and there... On average I have a 4 day week.. And when I am a captain with say 10 years I will make about $4500base a month, with about $800 a month in flight pay, and $700-$1000 a month in housing...
