I moved up to $285.00 had to pay my rent out of that,plus all expenses.The training I got was of no use to me in civilian life. I am retired now, not from the military but from my own business.(225,000.00) ayear. At 77 years if my country needed me I would go back and not ask for pay just food and clothing. Even though things are not the best and our leaders seem to be off track and lonly care for themselves. This country is worth fighting for. Thank you. c.c.elliott When I served my country,I got $72.00 amonth. I moved up to $285.00 had to pay my rent out of that,plus all expenses.The training I got was of no use to me in civilian life.

Because that E-2 does not pay rent, food, etc. You will not become rich in the military, but you will have scheduled pay raises and FREE training. Plus you go to college for free instead of taking out tons of student loans. I've been in 12 years and love it...just my .02 cents.

I believe all branches require a 4 year degree. And for adam, as an E-2 starting out in the Marine Corps I was looking at about 650 a paycheck, with two paychecks a month.
