About forty-three years ago, I enlisted in the USN earning a monthly salary of $97. Today an enlistee makes $1,294.50 a month. I know the numbers need to be adjusted for inflation, but fantasy of fantasy, it’s sure fun to imagine how much damage I could have done on that first liberty with $1300 in my pocket.If you would like to know what your monthly salary would be today for enlisted and officers, you can click on the link below to see a 2009 pay chart.
And when was the last time you saw a $2 bill?
