I'm looking into the JAG corps as a possible career, and I want to know how much they make. The army website only says an advanced pay grade.

I recently graduated from law school and interviewed with JAG, I still may do reserves or NG as a JAG. Basically, aside from the Marines, you start out as an O1 or O2. You keep that for 6 months, about enough time to finish the JAG training school, and then you get promoted to an O3, which is a Captain in the Army and AirForce and a Lt. in the Navy.
You can get the pay scales for an O-3 and O-1 here http://www.dfas.mil/militarypay/2006militarypaytables/2007_Web_Pay_Table.pdf
An O3, which is what you will be after 6 months, makes $39,504. That is base pay. You also receive either free housing or a BAH or BAQ (depending on branch). This is a basic allowance for housing or quarters, to pay for off base housing. This amount varies based on rank, marital status, and number of dependents, and location. As a single person with no dependents, you would probably receive around $625/mo if I remember correctly. This is tax free. You will also receive a BAS, basic allowance for sustenance. This will be a couple hundred dollars a month, also tax free.
I hope you do it, it seems fun.

Do a search on military pay charts and pick which branch you are considering. This will give you a baseline, call each of the service's and talk to a recruiter. JAG officers may or may not not get bonus for signing up. JAG has probably boosted the Navy's attorney corps, but the other services need good attorneys as well. If you have an ambition to be Lawyer, check into the school and commissioning of all the services. If you already have your degree, check into the services as well.
