$18410.40 / year. That is base pay only and it assumes that you can make E-3 by the time you finish all your corpsmen schools. That doesn't include any allowances like for quarters, or other things that you might rate depending on your marital status, if you have children etcetera. I included a link to the base pay charts and to the allowances page so you can peruse that. Good choice -- the Marines need good corpsmen.

Well, if he's making $200,000 as a corpsman, why would he ever want to get out of the service and become a nurse in the civilian world? I seriously doubt that anyone in the civilian world makes that kind of money from nursing---at least, the bedside type of nursing that a corpsman or floor nurse does. First off, your friend is mistaken if he thinks that he can just leave the navy and automatically become a nurse in civilian society. As far as I know, state boards of nursing do not grant any credits for medic/nursing-type work or training that one does in the military. If by "nurse" he means RN, the only way he can become one is to go to an accredited (NLN or CCNE) college and get a degree in nursing the pass the state board exam to get licensed. As he will discover one day, nursing school is a different can of beans from corpsman training. Its not like the military whereas you're "in" unless you screw up bad---after which I suppose you'd have other chances at other jobs, but at least they wouldn't kick you out. Nursing school is not like that. It is rough. The first part of it is a whole lot of stuff crammed into 2 short years. And before you even get in you have to get good grades in the prerequisite classes. Further, nursing instructors can be worse than drill sergeants. Just one little mistake (especially in clinicals) and some of them won't hesitate to flunk you. If your grades are too low or you fail two or more classes most nursing programs will kick you out. Its not as easy as he may be thinking. As an RN in the civilian world, I will tell you that the only nurses who come anywhere close to earning $200,000 a year are some (a few) APNs who own a very successful practice or clinic in states that allow independent practice and CRNAs; and many CRNAs would have to push quite a bit of OT to make that. There are other exceptions such as nurses who own a very successful per diem staffing/home health agency or nursing home, and some nurse executives. For instance, the chief nursing officer for the hospital where I work makes more than $200k a year.

It depends on your rank, time in service, any special pay (sub pay, sea pay, comrats,etc). Basically you make the same amount as any other service member. Just Google "military Pay Charts/tables" to get more specific information

base pay is based on paygrade and time in Service. Additional Pays and allowances will vary from person to person based on many factors such as dependency status, and billet.
