Hello, you guys got me to come back again with another ridiculous arguement. Someone is also forgetting that the Army pay is online and if I went to post numbers they would be 100% correct as of January 2003. I am not a sub 28:40 or sub 2:15 guy, so why talk about me at all. I am not worth the effort. There are so many people out there against the Army program and believe it or not I am proud to be in the National Guard and I promote all soldiers at all times in this time of crisis. I wish all the WCAP soldiers and officers the best of luck this year, but let me straighten something out for the record.
The following is the pay scale for WCAP and all Armed forces for the ranks that are present in Boulder which comes entirely from the tax payers federal funds to the department of defense:
Per Month Salary Housing Married Single
O-3 $3562.20 $1575 $1436
(3 years)
O-2 $2864.70 $1497 $1261
(2 years)
O-1
(1 year) $2183.70 $1340 $982
E-5
(4 years) $1903.50 $1320 $915
E-4
(2 years) $1579.80 $1151 $784
E-3
(1 year) $1356.90 $1151 $784
The enlisted soldiers also get an aditional $283 per month for meals and the officers get $180 for meals. If you add $3562.20, plus the before tax value of $1436 plus $180, then the top paid guys in this program make the equivalent of $65,000 per year in the civilian world, not $40,000 or whatever that other post claimed. Also for the record, the US Department of Education states that all Military Government Acedemies (Point, Air, and Anapolis) have a cost of over $200,000 per graduating officer over 4 years time. This is on the internet too. So these are the numbers that I would have posted had it been my idea. Oh! The military pay is public knowledge at dfas.mil/money/milpay/2003paytable.pdf if anyone is interested in wher I got these numbers.
In closing I would like to state that I only use this site for results and many people share my opinions and like to post what sounds like me, so next time you think it is me and it bothers you, call me at 407-474-3218 or email me at
