wat military branch pays the most?

Question

army, navy, marine, or airforce. and wat are the differences between the four? in detail pls. i wanna kno wat each branch deals with exactly and wat type of work each contains.

Answer 1

There is no difference in pay between the services. It all depends on your rank. Officers get paid a lot more than Enlisted. You have to have a college degree to be an Officer. Some of the branches promote you in rank faster than others, but not much. If you are looking at a service to join, have someone give you the pro's and cons of the different services. Not a recruiter, they lie.

Answer 2

The army is mainly infantry, but also deals with sea and air. The navy is the sea power, also with planes on aircraft carriers. The marines are infantry along with sea and air. The Marines is the hardest working and the hardest to get into. No matter what role you play in the Marines, you are a rifleman, even if you're an officer. The airforce is well... the air power.

As for pay, not sure who pays the most.

Depends what your interested in for hat branch you want to go to. The Navy and Airforce are "sort of" out of harms way in Iraq right now so you could arguably say they are the safest. The Marines is the more Elite group of all four because the deal with ground air and sea even more so than the army does, so they might pay more but im not really sure.

I'm sure if you call recruiting offices they might could tell you

Pay also depends upon rank.

Answer 3

Spell check is your friend. Use it.
All branches pay the same in basic pay, according to your rank/paygrade.
The differences are in the extra pay you receive. They could be for any number of reasons. Enlistment bonuses, Reenlistment bonuses, Housing allowance (which varies depending again on rank and also marital status. Married people get more money than single people), sustenance allowance if there are no dining facilities at your base/station, and if you're in the Navy, sea pay, submarine pay, flight deck pay, not to mention all the special pays that officers receive. You also get paid more the longer you've been in. For instance, I am an E-6 in the Navy, and have 15 years of service. I make more money than a person of the same rank as me, but only has 12 years of service. Those are called longevity raises.
What type of work each branch contains? Army and Marines are basically "In the dirt" infantry, front line kind of people. Air Force works on airplanes. Navy works on airplanes, ships, submarines. Your best bet is to go and talk to your nearest military recruiters from each branch of service.

Answer 4

The services ALL PAY THE SAME.

The pay goes by rank or grade no matter what service you are in. E for the enlisted ranks such as E-1, E-2, E-3, and so on... And O for officer ranks O-1, O-2, O-3, and so on... Thehigher your grade the higher your pay, of course officers get payed more than enlisted but they are also better educated. Regardless of either you still have to start out more or less at the bottom.

Although you do get extra hazard pay for certain dangerous jobs like Airborne, bomb defusing, and stuff like that. So technically these guys get paid more.

The difference between the services are: If you like being on land and camping in the outdoors join the Army. If you would like to be sailling on a ship join the Navy. If you like being around airplanes and electronic stuff and help maintain them join the Airforce. The Marines do a mix of camping and sailing and little of everything.

Answer 5

I am not going to sit here and tell you about each branch of service because I would be here typing all day. I have given you a website that has all 4 branches you mentioned that has some great information. Before you make any decision to join, insure you sit down and talk to each branch either at your place or you could go be their office. I have given you another site that you can find out where the local recruiter is for each branch as well.

Answer 6

The all have the same base pay. In the Army and Marines there are more opportunities for hazardous duty, i.e. combat bonuses.

Some job specialties are common to all, like supply clerk, Maintenance Mechanic, Cooks, and Medics. One exception to that list is that the Marines use Navy medics, called corpsmen. All branches have Pilots, and Aircraft support personnel.

Some are specific to the Branch, like Steam Plant operators an ship handlers, called machinists mates, and boatswains mates, in the Navy.

EDIT

There are NO private first class in the coast guard. The rank PFC is pay grade E2 in the Marine Corps, and I think E3 in the army. I don't know what it is in the Air Force, but in the Navy and Coast guard E2 is a Seaman Apprentice, and E3 is Seaman.

Answer 7

They should all receive the same pay it depends on your paygrade by that I mean lowest on the totem pole being a private gets the least amount if you are thinking of joining you will be low on the totem pole the Marines is the hardest and I believe the air force to be the easiest the Army and Navy are somewhere in between I did Army and am biased because of this. If you are looking at enlisting go Army

Answer 8

Although technically the Marine's are a part of the Navy (Look up Medal of Honor ribbons, you get the Navy's if you are a Marine [Although I think they are fighting to change this],) I think it depends heavily on your job, and they also pay you by rank I believe? A Private First Class coast guard Isn't going to be paid the same as a high ranking officer out in Iraq.

Answer 9

this is easy: base pay
the military has a rank structure with a base pay chart
each brach follows this same base pay chart

there is also: special pay
special jobs and job assignments get extra moneys
(kinda like a doctor or lawyer would get more then a cook)
and someone in a hazardous area(like iraq) would get paid extra for being in a war zone
there are more special pays to many to list for housing and food and travel

there is also: reenlistment bonuses
depending on your job skills, rank and time in

Bottom line: if you make the military a career your retirement will be based on your base pay only

each service has just about every job you will find anywhere.
if your interested talk to a recruiter tell them what you want, dont let them tell you what they are looking for.

Answer 10

justin has it right...almost. although those are accurate descriptions of each branch you need to realize that you will have a MOS (or AFSC if your air force) which is your actual job duty. many jobs in each branch have nothing to do with (at least seemingly to an outsider) the mission of that branch. for instance my husband is in the air force so he works with planes right? no he doesnt, as a matter of fact other than PCSing and deploying he has never set foot on a plane in the 10 years hes been enlisted. he is vehicle ops...which is basically like the AF motor pool, its his job to see that air crews and cargo make it to their assigned planes on time. there are also cooks, doctors, lawyers, janitors......even morticians in the military. your job that you get assigned to is dependent upon the needs of the military, your preferences (they do actually TRY most of the time to give you something your interested in) and your asvab score. also your ability to get a security clearance...for instance if you have extremely bad credit and cant get a top clearance then you cant do an intel job. pay is based entirely upon rank and time in service.some branches promote faster (not by much) some are easier to get promoted (the AF past E4 is basically based on your ability to test well) some jobs (like special forces, paratroopers etc) do have special duty pay...pilots get flight pay......and if your deployed in any branch you will get hazardous duty pay if your in the line of fire and family sep if your married or have kids. also you may get BAS if you dont live in the dorms/barracks....and BAH if you live off base (dependent rate if you have a family or single rate if your high enough ranking and they let you move off base) and the BAH is based on the cost of housing in your area.
