Careers in the US Marine Corps

Content: The higher the rank and length of service, the more money Marines earn each month. Some pay and promotions can also depend on specific job training or education, while entry-level enlistment personnel can typically earn promotions based on job performance. All military salaries are based on the same pay scale, regardless of which branch the servicemember is in. Here is the most current military pay chart. Active duty Marines are given the opportunity to live in on-base housing if it is available. Otherwise, they will be eligible to receive BAH, or a Basic Allowance for Housing. Marines are also eligible to receive a food allowance called Basic Allowance for Subsistance, or BAS. Some Marines who live in on-base housing may receive dining hall access instead of BAS. Medical care is an important benefit given to all active duty Marines. There is no cost for medical care through TRICARE, the military health care provider.
