Jerry Garcia Registered: 10/13/00 Posts: 9013 Loc: everett	So the big announcement was an executive order that all employees under federal contracts be paid a minimum $10.10 an hour. Looked up the pay scale for a private in the army and that works out to about $8.50 an hour. _________________________ would the boy you were be proud of the man you are Growing old ain't for wimps Lonnie Gane

goharley River Nutrients Registered: 03/27/02 Posts: 3188 Loc: U.S. Army	Originally Posted By: Jerry Garcia a private in the army ... works out to about $8.50 an hour. ...plus free housing, free healthcare, free food, free work clothes, free camping gear, 30 days paid vacation per year, free travel opportunities, free job training, etc. Actually, in 2013 a brand new shiny E-1 made about $11/hr when considering actual hours worked, vacation, etc. When factoring in Federal holidays, Days Of No Scheduled Activity (DONSA), it's even higher. Life working for the Fed is good, but I'm always in favor of giving DoD a raise. _________________________ Tent makers for Christie, 2016.
