In the summer of 2003, the Bush Administration secretly planned pay cuts for soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. It was not until the plan was made public that the White House was forced to make an embarrassing political flip-flop on the matter, but not before several high-profile Democrats decried their efforts to save money by depriving the troops of their "imminent danger pay."
As a result, American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan who faced considerable risk of being "killed, injured, or wounded by hostile fire, explosion of a hostile mine, or any other hostile action," were allowed to keep their imminent danger pay. Even so, that isn't much compared to the $2,100 a month that the Canadian government gives as a bonus to its soldiers stationed in hostile places like Afghanistan-- tax free.
That's about $1,929 when converted to American dollars, which is still a far cry from the extra $7.50 each day that American soldiers get for putting themselves in the most dangerous place in the world.

An Army infantry man will probably be an E-3 or E-4 with two to four years service. He will get base pay and, if in a combat zone, combat pay, overseas pay, housing allowance and any specialty pay. The attached pay rates will be increased by 3.5% in 2008.

There is no average. Some churches barely get by and the pastor has to work out in the public and may get a small amount from the church body. Some churches are mega churches who could afford to pay a million if they wanted. Its usually voted on by the members or elders.

Military base pay is based upon grade (rank) and years of service:: Guard/Reserve members are normally credited with 4 days pay for a weekend duty.
When performing active duty other than weekend drills, Guard/Reserve members receive 1/30th of monthly active duty pay for each day served on active duty.

In all branches of the military, you are paid based on your rank and years in service. Pay is not job specific.

It depends on rank and years of service. Basic paycharts are the same for all MOS's.
