Anyone know about Navy Officers Pay? So, I know in the Marine Corps, you get payed every two weeks (My brother in law is a Lcpl in the Marines) . I'm looking at the Navy pay scale for Officers, and I see that an officer with the 6th rank of officer, and in for 20 years, can make 196,230.00 a year. That seams ridiculous to me, but did I do this right? Or am I retarted?

How much does OLD NAVY pay? Does anyone know what the pay scale for floor associates is in the Southwest?

military pay scale question? Below is a link to a navy pay scale. Is that the amount you get per month or every two weeks? My husband is a pharmacist and is considering joining a branch of the military. And we are trying to figure out how much he would get paid. I know he would automatically start out as an officer, but not sure if this pay chart is per month or per paycheck. Thanks! http://www.navycs.com/09militarypaychart.html

OK, on the Navy Pay Scales,? On the Navy Officer Pay Scales, the number of an officer, 1st rank of officer, under 2 years. It has 2469.30, if you get payed twice a month, that's roughly 59,300.00 a year. Am I reading the charts right now? Is the number what you make twice a month? Or what is going on here, my website im looking at is http://www.navy.com/m/pdf/benefits/paytable2007_rev1.pdf Is this correct? And don't say 50 million dollars D Bag.

I believe the navy should get lower pay then the rest of the branches; Do You? Here's my point. When is the last time you heard of a navy ship being sunk in battle? The real brave are the pilots off the carriers, and lst's etc etc. they actually go into the battle zone. But the rest are like stewrads or office guys far far away from any danger. They dont deserve the same pay scale, especially compared to the ground soldiers! Sure they use the ships to soften up targets, but absolutely no danger to those on board. Lets cut their pay for personell on board ships and put the money to pay raises for the REAL SOLDIERS!

Starting pay in Navy with 50 credits....? My recruiter told me I would be making $3,000/month starting pay in the navy with 50 credits. I don't think sounds right according to the pay scale. Does anyone know if this sounds accurate? I haven't taken my ASVAB test either....

Navy Reserve Pay? I looked at the pay scale I am not sure if drill pay is the weekend you are to go there? So, you go that one weekend a month and you get paid two drill pays? So you are making about $350 a month??

Army officer vs. Navy Officer Pay? what is the pay scale for ensign officers for both of these branches? are they the same? can someone give me actual numbers? thanks

Is it worth joining the navy if they'll pay 65,000 towards my student loans? I have almost 80k in student loans. I'm about to complete my MBA with a concentration in supply chain management. I'm thinking of joining the supply side of the Navy. I'm not sure where that ranks on their officer pay scale but the lowest officer pay is $2,600. If they pay 1/3 of the eligible 65,000 in loans each year, that'll add 21,000 to my pay which will put me at a minimum of $53,000. Is it worth it? Am I being over-optimistic? Anybody with an insider view care to add something? I know it wouldn't be paid directly to me. I just would have to pay that money myself if they didn't, so I count it as income. And none of my loans are private. They are a mix of Federal Perkins/Stafford.

so i'm in dep with the navy and i am curious about pay. how much do i get? so i'm going in as an e 3 and according to the pay scale charts i should be making $1650 ... is that total for the month or is it split up over 2 parts. i won't be collecting BAH and i am single. i know i don't get paid in dep but i was wondering how much i will get paid when i get through basic

Will my pay scale be higher since I have some college under my belt? I will be 26 when/if I enlist. I am divorced with no kids, and I've always wanted to join. Any info would be great!

Do submariners in the US Navy make the same as regular enlisted? I know the pay scale of E 1 up to E 9. I've seen the graphs. But do submariners make more because it is entirely voluntary and can be a challenging job underwater for such a long period of time. Do they make the same as listed on the pay scale of E1 to E9?

What's it like to be a US Navy Musician? Hey everyone, I've recently been giving serious consideration to joining the Navy as a Musician. I completed my second year of music school back in May and I am a percussionist. I would like to know what happens after boot camp for musicians and what life is like for full enlistment. Also, I'd like to know about the pay scale. Thanks!

E2 Navy salary enough to support a baby? I'm not familiar with the pay scale, is anyone here familiar with it? Sorry if that was vague, my fiancee is in boot camp and wants to have a baby when he gets out, but I haven't finished Nursing school. So if I were to get pregnant, I'd need to make sure that he can make mends meet with that income.

Any Information to a high school student on becoming a nurse in the Navy or Air Force? Ok so I'm still a sophomore in high school and would like to become a Nurse in either the navy or air force. I read a some Information on both the air force, and navy websites. I'm not really interested in the Pay scale cause i would like to make a career out of it, except that fact that would they cover all of your college fees ? cause i know you need a bachelors degree to be a nurse, and also what type of requirements would you need ? It would really help if somebody with actual experience answered... thanks :)

How much does a US Commissioned Officer get paid? I have looked at pay scales on the internet, but I was wondering if anyone knows anyone in the service or if you are. I have a bachelors degree and a masters degree. I was wondering how much any brinch pays, however I am more interested in the Navy. Thanks

Is military pay THAT bad? ok, i know you work a ton of hours, so maybe you're hourly wage is not that high, but overall, the military pay scale just doesn't seem that bad when you factor that you have food, electricity, water, heating, shelter, and all that taken care of. As well as the education benefits and what not. I'm joining the navy, i'll be e-3 when starting, i can't help but think the pay i saw was more than fair for the fact that i'm gettign education, bills, all that taken care of, i will be busy in school and it seems more than fair to me what the pay is. i can see if you were trying to support a family, it wouldn't be doable, but for a single guy, it seems pretty decent. you aren't going to be rich obviously, but seems like you will certainly be able to have a comfortable life when not at work. not to mention you're doing a respectable job in my opinion

I've made some dumb decisions, but what are my chances of getting my waiver to get in the navy? I checked myself into in-patient treatment for meth in 2004 and i had a misdemeanor DUI in 2005, now I'm tryin to join the navy. I've turned in all my paperwork to my recruiter, he told me he needs to get a regional waiver for being in treatment. He said that waivers are not given often but they are given. I scored a 76 on my practice ASVAB, and i have an associates degree in culinary arts. He told me if i can get the waiver I'll have many job options because of my score, also he told me that after basic training i"ll be able to take a test to get an "E3 pay scale rank" because of my degree, however i understand that if i do get the waiver i'll have to get a psych evaluation, which I'm fine with, but this may limit my eligibility for security clearance, i just wanna know if anyone has had similar issues, or someone in the navy can shed some light on the subject? Please and Thank you

Air Force or Navy, coming out of high school.? I was curious as to which branch has a better "pay scale", benefits, retirement, etc. Iv done weeks of studying and it seems close the same. I graduated high school last year, and am currently in a community college. Tuition is not my problem; I have full grants for that. Its just I will soon be paying living expenses which are not covered by the grant and I don't want to juggle full time school with college. I would like to enlist in either branch, and then become an officer. a four year degree seems required? Whats the best way of going about getting from civilian to officer status? Thanks

What breed of cats get along best with children? We have an almost 3 year old little boy and are thinking about getting him a kitten for his birthday, something mild mannered with an even temper that will take the over enthusiastic love that an active 3 year old boy will give it. Are there breeds like that or does it depend on the individual animal? We had thought about a puppy but we live in an apartment and will be moving to military housing soon so a kitten seems like the better idea since they are no problem to house train and the Navy will black light your carpet if you have pets and you'll have to pay for any urine stains that show up (no matter how much you clean it STILL shows up under a black light), besides, my husband prefers cats over dogs, I'm a dog person, but can go either way. What about being low on the allergy scale? I heard some cats don't cause allergies as much as others do. Thanks for the help :) If we wanted a hamster I would be asking a question about a hamster, we want a kitten, that's why I am asking a question about cats. My husband nor I like rodents as pets and that includes hamsters. A note..since we will be moving on base we will be required to have it spade or neutered, declawed and micro chipped.

Anyone here with experience of Naval life (UK)? Can you tell me about the Royal Auxiliary Fleet?

Whilst the RFA is made up of civilian crew it does seem to be stuck between Merchant/ Royal Navy status! Thanks

How do I find work on an Oil Rig? I am and ex-Navy and ex-Army engineer. Though, the more I research it, enlisted military engineers are a joke compared to the civilian sector. I was an Electrician's Mate (beginner electrician). What do I need to find work on an oil rig? Is there any entry-level positions available? I'm in Philadelphia and don't plan on moving for the next 5 years. Are there any rigs with 150miles? I know the daily and month work rotation, but am sketchy on the pay scale. Any info, you could give me would be great. Thanks

could you help me to make a short summary of the following text? The most prosperous modern states have a multitude of functions that go far beyond the core functions of national defense and the maintenance of law and order discussed above. However even these minimum function require resources. In a market economy that means the state needs a money income to hire people and buy supplies. The state has two potential sources of income: a) selling goods and services in the manner of a business concern and b) direct levies and requisitioning of money, goods and labour from the population it controls. If the state has a minimal role control of the currency is only service it provides other than law and order. The income from the issue notes and coins this is known as ‘seniorage’. It is possible to simply print money or, in the case of specie, to debase the coinage by lowering purity of the metal. However if this is done on any scale it can only be a short term expedient, as continual increases in the supply of notes and coins will cause inflation and ultimately undermine trust in the currency. Arbitrary requisitioning of goods and labour, like debasement of the currency, is another short term expedient that produces popular opposition. The press gang (squads that kidnapping men off the street) for service in the navy, a practice common up in wartime up until the end of the Napoleonic War was particularly resented. Taxes are considered preferable as the former are predicable and people can budget for them. Adam Smith laid down following maxims for of taxation:the burden on individuals should be linked to their ability to pay; time due, manner of payment and quantity should be certain; the form of payment should be convenient for the tax payer in both time and manner and finaly the tax should be cheap to administer. Taxes can be levied on income, wealth or consumption. Taxes on income and wealth are direct: they unavoidable (at least by legal means) These can be fixed – poll tax – or progressive - income tax. Taxes on consumption are indirect: they can be (legally) avoided by not spending money. These can be general: value added tax (VAT), excise tax, receipts tax, purchase tax or on specific items: salt tax, road tax (on road vehicles), window tax, excise duty on tobacco, beer wines and spirits.

Thoughts about my Paris Peace Conference and the Versailles Treaty paper. ? World War I was supposedly “the war to end all wars”. Its scale of destruction was said to have eclipsed all previous wars. An estimated 65 million soldiers fought in World War I – the central powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey) and the allied powers (Britain and its colonies, France, Belgium, Russia, Italy and the United States) combined. At the end of the war, about 10 million were killed and another 20 million were injured. Germany was held responsible for instigating World War I – it urged Austria to invade Serbia in retaliation for the murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serbian nationalist. Thus, every World War I treaty and armistice was intended to severely penalize Germany, as well as to prevent it from threatening the world again. Germany, in turn, plunged into social, economic and political chaos. Two examples of the aforementioned settlements were the Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles. The Paris Peace Conference was held in Versailles, France from January 12 to January 20, 1919. The sole objective of the convention was to come up with provisions that would help establish peace after World War I. Although nearly 30 countries attended the Paris Peace Conference, the representatives of Great Britain (Lloyd George), France (Georges Clemenceau), Italy (Vittorio Emanuele Orlando) and the US (Woodrow Wilson) – collectively known as the “Big Four” – dominated the event’s proceedings. The “Big Four” spearheaded the formulation of the Treaty of Versailles, a truce which “articulated the compromises reached at the conference”. One of the most important terms in the Treaty of Versailles is the plan to establish the League of Nations, an international collective security organization and forum that would also serve as the precursor of the United Nations. Wilson, for one, viewed the League as a means of averting future wars. The Treaty of Versailles included several other provisions, such as the penalties that were to be imposed on Germany. In the end, the treaty ruled that Germany was to pay war damages amounting to 132 billion gold marks. It also had to give up its colonies, overseas assets, as well as its military. Below are the more specific examples of provisions in the Treaty of Versailles that penalized Germany: 1.The surrender of all German colonies as League of Nations mandates 2.The return of Alsace-Lorraine to France 3.Cession of Eupen-Malmedy to Belgium, Memel to Lithuania, the Hultschin district to Czechoslovakia, Poznania, parts of East Prussia and Upper Silesia to Poland 4.Danzig to become a free city 5.Plebiscites to be held in northern Schleswig to settle the Danish-German frontier 6.Occupation and special status for the Saar under French control 7.Demilitarization and a 15-year occupation of the Rhineland 8.German reparations of £6,600 million 9.A ban on the union of Germany and Austria 10.An acceptance of Germany’s guilt in causing the war 11.Provision for the trial of the former Kaiser and other war leaders 12.Limitation of Germany’s army to 10,000 men with no conscription, no tanks, no heavy artillery, no poison-gas supplies, no aircraft and no airships 13.The limitation of the German Navy to vessels under 10,000 tons, with no submarines But the weakness of the Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles is that they overestimated liberalism’s capacity to create a just world order. In the context of these two agreements, liberalism was simply used to cover the vengeful and wrong actions of the war’s victors. It is true that the Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles imposed heavy sanctions on Germany for its defeat in World War I. However, there was no trial of Kaiser or the other war leaders. Thus, the conclusion that the Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Paris was carried out merely to divide Germany among those who defeated it. Furthermore, another weakness of the Versailles Treaty was that it depended on Germany's cooperation for it to work. If Germany didn't want to abide by it, who was going to stop them? Nobody wanted to go to war again to enforce the treaty. This is evident through history. As for the war’s losers, this distorted form of liberalism allowed them to elect dictatorships that violated civil rights and liberties. The economic and political devastation that the Germans experienced due to the Treaty of Versailles left them desperate for a leader that will restore their country to its former glory. Adolf Hitler, as a result, became the dictator of Germany by capitalizing on the German people’s resentment over the consequences of their loss in World War I. While in power, he was responsible for the Holocaust, which killed 6 million Jews in World War II. However, which state was really the most responsible for starting World War I? Though it was made very clear that no one county or event can be blamed for the war, the answer would have to be Germany. It was the sta

How much of the national debt could be trimmed by withdrawing all troops? I don't advocate pulling the U.S. military home. (So don't beat me up, yet!) But with our huge national debt, many will propose this idea: closing overseas bases, shrinking the navy and using it as not much more than the Coast Guard (or at most, merchant escort), scrapping kilotons of materiel, and perhaps scaling back personnel - all to save money and pay down the debt. Certainly, many of our enemies would drool at the very thought! Not only, is this a possibility, it may become a painful necessity if the debt becomes ominous enough. Here's the thing though: I don't believe our biggest enemy is borrowing and spending, I think it's inability to generate revenues, due the the recession and outsourced jobs. So, low revenues may be the root cause of our fall from prominence - if we do fall. Is outsourcing of jobs (which has shrunken the tax base) our biggest enemy ever? "Pfo", it's hard to believe the liberals and Socialists believe in free trade. But if you say so...

Please grade this SAT I Essay? Could you please grade this essay on a scale of 0-12? This is a SAT I essay, so please grade it as a whole. The prompt was on whether or not good choices and bad choices both have the same chances of negative outcomes. I know, kind of weird topic. My essay is below. Although people often believe that bad and good choices are equally likely to have negative consequences, this is not true. A bad choice by nature does not evaluate all the factors well, while a good choice takes into account every possible change that may occur. A good choice can lower the probability of an unfortunate outcome while a bad choice ignores this possibility. As the Neutrality Proclamation and the Louisiana Purchase demonstrate, a good choice decreases the chances of negative consequences. The Neutrality Proclamation proves that a good decision does not result in negative consequences because it kept America out of war with Britain. Right after the American Revolution, many European nations kept harassing the U.S. Spain exerted influence on the Mississippi, the trading life line of the U.S., and Britain hampered the U.S. trade industry and kidnapped (impressed) American sailors into the British navy. Many radicals and former soldiers in American called for war against Britain, but President George Washington issued the Neutrality proclamation. This kept the U.S. out of many foreign issues, most importantly, war. By making this good decision, the U.S. protected its newborn and tender economy, and shielded itself from suffering under another war. America was in no shape to declare war on anyone, and this Neutrality Act saved the U.S. from declaring war and collapsing. From this, it is clear that Neutrality Proclamation lowered the chance of a negative consequence. The Louisiana Purchase on France's part was also a good decision that did not create a negative consequence. As Napoleon lost ground in Europe, his foothold in America was also slipping. The whole region from Canada to Louisiana was threatened by westward-seeking American pioneers, and war seemed imminent. So in order to avoid fighting and additional war and to make some money in the process, Napoleon sold the land to the U.S. in the Louisiana Purchase. This good decision lowered the changes of negative consequences by avoiding war with a growing power, and also making money while America still chose to buy instead of fight. If France had kept the land, it would have needed to fight a war over land it was too weak to govern in the first place. Therefore, the Louisiana Purchase was a positive choice that yielded positive results. For these reasons, it is clear that good choices lower the chances of negative consequences. Bad choices are likely to have negative consequences, but good choices made with all factors in consideration lowers this risk. As the Neutrality Proclamation shielding American from war and the Louisiana Purchase paying France demonstrate, good choices lead to good consequences.

A Republicans the 'real' Liberals? What is a Conservative Value? True conservatism is all about the limited role of government in a democratic society. So many times, especially on conservative based radio and TV stations the term "Conservative Values" is attached to what it means to be Republican. A choice word "Values", suggesting that it is understood by every one that if what Republicans believe in are of "Value", thus the beliefs Democrats or other parties hold are the ..."opposite"! It seems to me that there is nothing conservative about not questioning our Government for torturing anyone on mere suspicion of knowledge. It does not seem conservative at all wanting to see our Navy just start "blowing" Somali vessels out of the water as Mark Levin suggested yesterday. The conservative handling by President Obama of the Pirate Hostage situation has paid off. Hostages have been since released, and we also have one of the pirates in custody to interrogate. Where is the conservatism when Government can tell a female she has to have a child? Would this be the way Conservatives feel if men were child bearers? And what "Value" is it to Americans to deregulate industry to the point we are in right now. Stress testing Banks is a very smart move. Have you ever wondered why and how there are so many banks???... I have! Its a very smart move to get a hold of the Auto industry because its one of the few things in America that we produce that is imported in large scale. It also employs a large number of Americans. Government intervention is essential in "conserving" what has been mismanaged by GM and Chrysler. In a very "Conservative" move, Ford smartly dropped the Mercury line years ago and its the only American born car company that has not needed stimulus dollars. Where is the conservatism when Republicans believe that spending billions of dollars in an undeclared war that has netted Americans nothing is warranted? And where is the conservatism when Republicans attach themselves to the likes of Mark Levin, who calls individuals "Jerkoffs" on open airwaves before the caller has much of a chance to say anything. Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Niel Boortz have nothing to do with "Conservative Values" to speak of. They not only criticize our President but they blatantly insult him! How is that conservative! Is that a "Conservative Value"? So I ask...what are "Conservative Values"? What is a "Conservative Value"? Is it just saying it? Outing CIA agents...Blatant documeted fraud by republicans in Presidential elections...Lying to Americans....Selling our Ports to the Arabs... The list is so long on so many things that are in fact not "conservative" at all! In fact it seems that when Republicans are in charge or do anything many Republicans seem to take quite a Liberal position IT-IS_WH.... And who is not paying attention? I said one of the few things we import on large scale...not "the only thing"! Name 3 other imports on large scale form the US to other global markets?

agian another useless fact? Bats always turn left when exiting a cave! Most dust particles in your house are made from dead skin!

Spiral staircases in medieval castles are running clockwise. This is because all knights used to be right-handed. When the intruding army would climb the stairs they would not be able to use their right hand which was holding the sword because of the difficulties of climbing the stairs. Left-handed knights would have had no troubles, except left-handed people could never become knights because it was assumed that they were descendants of the devil.
