Salary and Compensation
By Chron Contributor Updated September 10, 2020
Formed in 1775 by the Continental Congress, the U.S. Marines are equipped for amphibious deployment to support air, water and land operations in defense of the country. The names of Marine ranks are the same as used in the Army and the Air Force. As with all military occupations, earnings for Marines jobs are accorded by rank (pay grade) rather than job title. Marines use the same salary tables as all the armed services. These are detailed at the website of the Defense Finance and Accounting Service. Marines Salary for Recruits
Recruits enter the Marines at the pay grade of E-1 or the rank of private, earning the lowest Marines salary of $1,602.30 (as of January 2020). They undergo training for 12 weeks at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot at Paris Island, South Carolina, if they reside east of the Mississippi, or at San Diego, California, if they live west of the Mississippi. Subjects include physical fitness, close order drilling, self-defense, water survival, military history, first aid and rappelling. Completing the training successfully grants the recruit the title of Marine and the Corps emblem: the Eagle, Globe and Anchor.
