Those joining the military with an education or special skills may be eligible to start their salaries at a higher pay grade, and some may be eligible to join the US Marine Corps as an officer. It is always important to check with a recruiter to verify current information and requirements before signing the enlistment contract. The higher the rank and length of service, the more money Marines earn each month. Some pay and promotions can also depend on specific job training or education, while entry-level enlistment personnel can typically earn promotions based on job performance. All military salaries are based on the same pay scale, regardless of which branch the servicemember is in. Here is the most current military pay chart. Active duty Marines are given the opportunity to live in on-base housing if it is available.
