Answer 1

Too vague a question and the answers would have to be guesses.

Here is a link to the current military pay charts:

Answer 2

I had a little over 100k back in the mid 1980's but that included a 50k signing bonus, an MOS that had a couple of incentives and a few missions in the vicinity of Nicaragua.  

I sank every penny into the stock market and now, life is fun.  

Answer 3

You want guessology 101.

Me I got out after after 4+ years where I spent 2 yrs refurbishing a 6 acres 40+ space mobile home park (on an SBA loan) near Cherry Point.  After paying off my loans, I walked away with $150K in 1982 dollars.  Its called working for it!

Other guys, have walked away with a discharge and only money from their last payday and travel pay to Home of Record.

As far as military pay:  I blew mine on Booze and Broads!

Answer 4

i'd say at least $15,000 - $20,000 but if you deployed alot, then definitely alot more

i'm talking about people who doesn't spend that much like you said cause there alot of people i kno who lives from paycheck to paycheck, eats out everytime, some even have huge loans,, so yea

Answer 5

without my bonus, I would say $2 for me. As thats pretty much what I run down my bank account to monthly, have some in there right now from my bonus though.

Answer 6

I wouldn't be joining if the money is important, you should have other reasons not just the money.

Answer 7

Well, after 4 years, I think you could save around $20,000 not including the signing bonus. This is, of course, if you are single and do not have a lot of financial obligations. You will make around $18,000 a year. I estimate you can save $5,000 each year of your 4 year enlistment.
