| | Looking at all my military carreer options infoCan I get my US citizenship from serving in the US Army or in the USMC? Now, I'm looking into the money issue as well. I know that the US Army pays a heck of a lot less than the Canadian, but that's not a huge issue. I've seen the US Army pay tables, but I can't seem to find the USMC pay tables. Could anyone perhaps post up a link to a USMC pay tables? Thanks again Thanks a lot in advance! PS: I'm off to Italy in a few hours for 10 days so I'll try to go on my brother's laptop to check your answers. Meine Ehre heißt Treue |

You must be a legal resident of the US.Not a citizen.

Green card at least that is. Hmmm... pay tables can be misleading. I don't know about USMC, but in South Korea, the RoKMC and RoK Army pay tables look pretty much the same. But the difference is that it takes FOREVER for you to get promoted in RoKMC that essentially you're being paid much less. I guess that's what happens when the force is small and there aren't many slots for promotion, especially for officers. So be aware that pay tables aren't everything and they can be pretty misleading. |

Every pay grade in the US Armed Forces gets paid the same base pay. So an Army Pvt, Marine Pvt are paid at exactly the same base pay E-1.

Pay is identical, but promotions do come a lot faster in the US Army from what my gunny tells me. You'll need, at minimum, a green card to enlist - you might want to start that process now if it's something you're seriously considering.

$4,545.60. Making O-3 in 4 years: likely. Making E-9 in less than 12: doubtful. The charts dont even place E-9 until 10 years of service, at which point an O-3 with identical time in service would make $5,157.00, roughly $10,800 per annum difference. ![]() Source http://www.dfas.mil/militarypay/mili...ayCharts35.pdf | |

Also, being in Canada and not being able to talk to a recruiter is bull. Go look on your search engine and look for recruiting stations across the US and give them a call. BE RESOURCEFUL. |
