- Hi Rick,
- You asked for some information about the military. Took me some time to
- respond but here it is. The chart below shows the rank for each branch of the
- service.
- I'm sure of all except the Marines and they should be close.

- The figures above are base on grade and time in service, i.e. an E-1
- makes $786. If he doesn't get promoted, he doesn't make any more
- money....ever!
- An E-2 with more than 3 years service makes $965. There are no E-8's
- with less than 8 years service or E-9's with less than 10 years
- service so there's no pay figure. In addition to "Basis Pay",
- A serviceman receives a quarters allowance but only if he lives
- "Off-Base". There is also an allowance for separate rations which a
- serviceman gets if he is allowed to "Mess separately", i.e. not eat
- in the mess hall. That's $192 a month.
- I only gave you the first 10 years of the chart, it goes up to 26
- years.
- I retired from the Air Force in July '91 after 30 years service.
- I'm not sure of the other services but in the Air Force, It takes
- about 8 months to a year for an E-1 to make E-2, about another 18
- months to make E-3 and another year or so to make E-4. These are
- average. Almost all make E-4 but there are some that don't. Almost
- no one makes E-5 with less than 4 years service (remember this is Air
- Force, I know Army makes rank quicker). The initial enlistment in
- the Air Force is 4 years, so an individual just about has to re-enlist
- in order to make E-5. E-4 and below are just about automatic, E-5
- is harder to make and the ranks get progressively harder as you go up.
- Some folks go all the way to 20 years and never get promoted beyond E-6.
- The average time in service would be: E-6/ 7-8 years; E-7/ 10-14 years;
- E-8/ 18-22 years; E-9/ 20-26 years. By law only 2% of the total
- enlisted population can be in grade E-8. Only 1% can be in grade E-9.
- Hope this helps you out. If I can be any further help let me know.
