I am planning to go in the military after high school. The only problem is that I dont know if I'll get paid enough in the air force. How much would I get paid if I go right after high school? And if I work for another branch will I get paid more?

Not much. Spent 12 years in the USAF and the monthly pay isn't good. Until you reach a higher rank. Usually E4 and up make a fair paycheck. However, if you get in now they do have a college plan where you get money to go to school after services. All branchs pay the same.

Military pay is equal across the services for the same rank and status. You can go down to the recruiters and ask for a copy of the pay scales. Also note that the services provide housing and meals during the training periods and later on, as long as you live in the barracks.
or click on the link . . . the Os (officers) are listed 1st, you would be the E group (enlisted) starting at one. There are no deductions for housing or meals from this amount.
