what about lieutenant doctors? does the army pay them while they are at serving to pay back for the tuition that the U.S. army covered?

johnny c, thanks for pointing out that doctors usually start off as captains. do officers usually make more if they are stationed abroad, like in germany or japan, or in a war zone?

The proceeding figures assume a person is a medical officer, a Captain, with +3 years of active service, no longer an intern, and an anesthesiologist:
Variable Special Pay: $416.67/mo
Board Cert. Pay Special Pay: $208.33/mo
Incentive Special Pay: $36,000/yr
Base Pay: $3,732.30
Total Yearly Pay: $88,287.60
Of course these number can vary greatly depending on pay grade, time served, specialty, any addtional multiyear special pay.

In the Army there are two types of LTs. 1st Lieutenant and 2nd Lieutenant. You can check out the 2 websites I provide to help you out. Go to Benefits on the military.com site to get most of that info. and about.com, just type in 2007 military pay chart and click the one for officers. Im not sure of the answer to your second question. You might want to get the # to a military post close to you and ask a doctor there. Most are cool and dont mind helping. Hope this helps you.

Basic pay for a 2nd LT, as of 1 Jan,2006 is $2416.20 per month. In addition, there is a Quarters and Rations allotment, a Uniform Allowance, and depending ou your duty station, Hardship or Hazardous Duty Pay.
Like someone else said, if you are going into the Army for the money, pick another career.

depends on where they are stationed and if they are married and if they were enlisted before being an officer. ranges from 40 to 65k a year. if you're a doctor in the army you would usually come in as a higher rank, captain. you would be a lieutenant after undergrad and during med school.

You will just need to take it on faith from those that have been there. We can tell by your question that you have no business whatsoever in the military. You there trying to figure out your pay scale while the war is raging around you. I been out 20 years but can still laugh at this Tom Foolery.

Not enough. Yes it does. Doctors typically get some form of pro-pay.
If you are coming into the Army for the money, choose a different profession.

Lieutenant Dan didn't act like he made enough money.
