The basic salaries of U.S. military personnel are the same for enlisted men and officers of the same rank in every service branch. Pay increases always accompany each promotion in rank. Thereafter, a soldier can receive limited pay raises within that rank based on length of service. Further pay raises depend on promotion to the next level. Elite troops or troops with special, often dangerous missions receive special duty and hazardous duty pay rates that can increase a soldier's income substantially, but hazardous duty pay for the same job – bomb disposal, for example – sometimes differs substantially from one service branch to another. While it could be argued that the Marine Corps' mission is more hazardous by nature than the missions of other service branches, Marines receive the same basic pay and as the same incremental increases for combat pay as service members of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard. The Basic Pay Scales for Marines in 2018
Enlisted marines entering the service at the lowest rank, E-1 (Private) receive $1,514 per month for the first four months of service and thereafter $1,638 per month.
