Just to fill you a soldier with 5 years of service thats enlisted is only taking home 2600 a month or so, then BAH if they are married which is probably about a grand. A new PVT in the army living on post makes 20k there abouts. Not big money here folks. But if your making 20 grand and your housing, food, medical is all taking care of you have descent disposable income.
