You don't pay rent
You get 3 meals a day
You get free health care
You get free dental
You get 30 days of leave each year
You are guaranteed a deposit on the 15th and 1st of each month
You can qualify for special pays (sea pay, etc..) and allowances (food allowance)

it is hard work, long hours, but it can be rewarding if you make it. If you are smart and save money by not spending it everywhere and living on a budget you can make it pretty good.

Yes, you can live off of military pay. I don't understand the second half of your question, I'm sorry.

Obviously, seeing as hundreds of thousands of sailors are doing it right now. And its not about the money.

There a joke that goes around in the military. Someday we will see all that overtime pay in our checks. Someday.

DietrichVonQuint

Yes. It is called budgeting and living within ones means.

My husband is enlisted and I'm not working right now as we are getting ready to move. We have two children and have no problems "surviving".

Granted, my husband has been in for 8 years, so his pay is better than a brand new private's pay.

Yes you can survive off of military pay.

Remember, all services get paid the same base pay.

Enlisted starting salary is sufficient for one person, but difficult to support two. You can't support a family of four on enlisted starting pay. You'd qualify for food stamps in many states.

Survive?

Yes.

I invested a lot too. From the Navy pay I built up a good sized portfolio of investments.

No. All those active duty sailors are just a figment of our imagination. None of them were able to survive on their pay.
