I dont have the numbers in front of me anymore but I was on duty 175 hours last month. From the pay I recieved, it worked out to 6.10/hour roughly. That was after taxes so if you want to adjust it for that, i guess I made more. I did not count anytime I was away from base that was not duty time. If you count that, then I made much less...about 4 bucks an hour. I dont think that is genuine to count those hours however because either way, Id be sleeping and relaxing during those hours. The bottom line is is that the pay is less than 8 bucks an hour and that is, in my opinion, embarrasing considering the job. Heck, I made more than that 20 years ago as a peon.
