My take-home pay as a single E5 before my promotion was about $52K, so with the military benefits worked out, that averages up to slightly north of $60k. After hitting E6, I take home about $60k, so Im almost up to $70k or so comparatively. Last I heard, that's easily GS12 money, and fairly comfortable for here.

But, it sure as f-ck isnt GT-R money haha
