When you're in the military, make sure you have some friends in supply. TRUST me, it's worth it.

There's fine print - see note #4:

"For the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy, Chief Master Sergeant of the AF, Sergeant Major of the Army or Marine Corps or Senior Enlisted Advisor of the JCS, basic pay is $6,875."

At which point I will refer to the fact that I said Sergeant Major of the Universe, not of the Army. SGM, not SMA.

USMC information request: http://www.marines.com/page/usmc.jsp?flashRedirect=true
US Army information request: https://www.goarmy.com/contact/email...ef=cs&ssl=true

The Army one might be a little difficult to pull off since there's no real "I'm don't live in the US" option, but if you copy the e-mail provided into your own personal e-mail, you might be able to get around that.

For the USMC one, just click on the 'Become a Marine' button on the left.

$82k/year ain't bad, but keep in mind that O-5 and up make about the same. Kind of ridiculous, actually...
