Yeah, they do. Also remember that alot of stuff is paid for well in the service, for you and your family. So they save alot of money there. Also all the military discounts.
I know my friend, when he was in the Air Force, got alot of extra pay. Seperation pay from wife and kids. Hazardous duty pay. And also got a bonus depending on where his flight stopped. He did one short tour over in the United Arab Emirates about 3 years back and got enough extra pay for a down payment on a house. |

Yep, it's great for alot of stuff like that. My friend, really didn't have an education or direction or career path. Joined the Air Force and now he's making great money outside the Force in a related field using the training he got well in the Force.

Patent examiners typically start anywhere from a GS5 to a GS9, and they need a degree. Most are engineers. Secretaries (at the patent office) are lucky if they get GS7, and are typically GS5. So it depends on where you're applying.

Do you know how much a Physicist would be paid by NASA or the Department of Energy? I don't think she's Army any more. Let alone NSA or CIA. They have to pay them alot just to keep up with the private sector. Salary Table 2008-SLST_LOC Just the fact that she is a Scientist makes her equivalency closer to a Colonel or General. Now I see why whenever the joes were rescuing Scientists they seem to have to take orders from them. |

Those people need to apply to the Department of Energy. You're near DC so you know. My Wife works at DOE and they hire their interns at GS9s as Political Science Majors.

That would make sense. I know that doctors and even lawyers that go into the USAF start out as Lt Col or Col because of their background and education.

Jane is married to Colton and pretty patriotic. I think she'd take the paycut.
This brings up an interesting question... How did the Joes get paid? Did they still make the same pay as non-Joes or did being part of Joe get you a bonus? Weren't able to get much contact with home/family, so get a major seperation bonus? Did alot of classafied work, get bonuses for that?
