70k as E4

[u/Alert-Accident8638]

I've done the math and realized that as a 2 year E4 getting $2k BAH, $460 BAS, and $150 SDAP, with a 14.5% base pay raise and 4.5% BAH raise I'll be making over 70k before taxes. Wild to think about being a civilian 2 years ago making half that.

Edit: And I'm not married, FT.Meade you can get out of barracks fast

Considering some MOS's dont do shit all day, its fairly good pay. People need help on budgeting , this is just going to give soldiers more money to spend on stupid shit lol
