Military Salaries
When a marine gets married and starts a family, basic military pay and many incentives and allowances remain unaffected. Depending on the type of mission you serve and the financial situation of your family, however, you may qualify for a couple of family-based allowances. Basic Pay
Marines receive basic pay according to military pay charts. These charts outline the salary you receive, determined by the years of service and pay grade, the latter of which is determined by rank. Enlisted marines receive between $1546.80 and $7584.60 per month, while warrant officers earn from $2868.30 to $9408.30 per month. Commissioned officers earn the most, receiving a monthly salary between $2934.30 and $19762.50. For upper-rank marines, such as sergeants major and sergeants gunnery major, pay increases stop after 38 years of service, while lower ranks, like master sergeant and first sergeant, earn pay increases up to their 30th year of service. Getting married does not affect the amount of basic pay you earn.
