That is what an E-5(buck Sargeant) makes per hour in the US Army(before about 25% in taxes).
Factor in that the current pay rate for a grade E-5 is $2199.30 per month
(http://www.military.com/military/benefits/0,15465,2010-House-Proposed-Military-Pay,00.html#epay)
and that soldiers are on duty 24/7 and there are 8760 hours in a year,
gives the total of a penny over $3.00 an hour.
Who but the Best would work for those wages with the threat of death or disability every waking(and sleeping) moment?
Best Wishes,
Scott
