The Average Salary of a Marine
By Dan Ketchum
The U.S. Marine Corps rewards experienced soldiers with additional pay and allowances. One of the seven divisions of the United States Armed Forces, the U.S. Marine Corps works with the United States Navy to provide combined-task defense across America's coastline. Like all branches of the U.S. military, the Marine Corps offers numerous positions, each with varying salaries and benefits that increase with experience and rank. Those interested in enlisting can call 1-800-MARINES to speak to a local recruiter. Combat Positions
