What Makes the Marines Different

Content: The first pay increase based on both length of service and merit comes at E-3, Lance Corporal. After a minimum of 2-years service at that rank, marines can receive a pay raise. If their performance merits it, they can receive a second in-rank pay raise after a total minimum of three years at this rank. But there is no scheduled pay raises after the second in-rank increase. Similar protocols govern pay raises for enlisted personnel up through grade E-7. What this amounts to is that the Marine Corps will give you length-of-service pay raises at each rank up to a point. After that, if your performance doesn't merit a promotion to a higher rank, your pay stays the same at that rank regardless of your length of service. What Makes the Marines Different
While members of every service branch take pride in their jobs, Marines put more emphasis on the pride of service and fulfillment of mission than any of the other nonelite services. Partly this begins with the nature of Marine recruitment appeals: the Marines attract a different population.
