The Marines are like any other branch of the military. If you perform well and receive successful evaluations of your work performance, you promote. Your pay goes up as you gain experience and are advanced. An enlisted Marine with at least four months of experience starting out as an E-1 earning a base pay of $1,638 a month should soon promote to E-2 and make $1,836 a month. At this rank, pay remains the same regardless of your time in service. Once you make E-3, pay goes up to $1,931 a month with less than two years of service. Once you go over two years, you make $2,052, and $2,176 when you go over three years. You’ll continue to earn more as you move up in rank. An officer starting out as an O-1 goes from a base pay of $3,107 a month with less than two years of experience to $3,234 a month once they have more than two years in the Marines.
