Answer 2

You don't need to be too specific, as long as you have a decent guideline... they keep raising the wages anyway.

As Cate mentioned, $38,000 a year is roughly the right base salary. But all full time members receive roughly $10,000 service allowance a year - it's compensation for the lifestyle. Counting it all up, you're looking at $45-50k a year.

When you're deployed, pay bonuses can reach ridiculous proportions - the first batch of diggers to return from the "Dili Dash for Cash" in East Timor were buying Subaru WRXs.
