You already submitted your package and got approved to be an officer?
Are you going Reserve or active duty?
And yes...those military pay charts show only your base pay..then you get incentives like BAH/BAS.

stationed overseas was bout the money and days off and exploring for me when single u add that plus the females the females and the females
i didnt go to korea but them korea females were
there personality that i ran into were more aggressive than the japs shyt was hella sexy to mei did germany but more TDY but as much as i went TDY might as well been stationed there but that bus ride from italy to germany was too fukking long
12 hr bus ride then going thru that damn alps mountain with no railing had me like
i did TDY in hawaii it was nice as shyt as far as scenery tho
italy the food was hella good and loved always going to venice shyt cant front nice play to take ur girl or wifey too and eat and be next to the water and see boats and lights and hear some music
but trust if i was single in italy i would of ate good from the 3 times i went out pathetic i got more attention and hollering at from baddest ones out in the spot than peeps who go there all the time

Eh...
Pros:
-Cheap health/dental care
-Get to travel to some cool places for free on your annual tour (2 weeks)
-Retirement
Cons:
-Drilling every month can be an annoyance. My unit drills the first weekend every month...when everybody just got paid and trying to do stuff
-Could go to a unit that really doesn't do shyt but sit around
Thats just a few off the top of my head. End of the day its pretty much what you make of it. Just make sure you pick a job you like.

In the Federal word this used to be true 2 years military experience would be "equal" to One year of College....when going over resumes. Not too sure bout that today now that U can go to school online. There's no excuse.

I am a RN who will be getting Officer pay. I m good with sitting around and get paid.
Btw, I met a guy doing it now today at my job. Dude said I should have started it once I graduated., They give fulll tuition + pay to send you to school to specialize brehs :ohh: Am I wrong ?
He said he is doing it for the love of flying and the benefits/perks. He is not married though so he travels all over making good money. He said the 2 week deployment is mostly clinics for shots and hospitals with healthy dudes. Like ppl who caught pneumonioa and other things but he says they will pay for school and still keep paying me if I m active duty but I gotta pay stay in for 2-3 more years. He said to askl my recruiter

Not too sure on active duty or officer stuff. But that is good shyt. I wish I would have been an RN and then joined. I know a girl that just did it...she went in as a captain.
He was exaggerating alot about your pay...Especially in the reserves.. I'll expand on this post more

That's true but how often will you be on active duty in the reserves...And how often will you be deployed.
the good thing is Africa has deployments but OEF is pretty much dead and the ISIS support is hard to get...And a big open secret is that right now in lot of states reservist are not being paid.
On active duty as a Junior Office you'd make more money than 45000 with BAH/BAS/Base pay you'd be a bit over 60...im an Enlisted SFC will be a MSG next month but please run any and everything a recruiter has said to you here before you sign anything...
