I was a senior staff officer in the Idaho Army National Guard. I deployed to northern Iraq in in December 2004, and returned home in November 2005. My blog focuses on military life of a Guardsman, as I saw it, with forays into other topics from time to time.

Pay scale

I talked to a fella at dinner who works for AAFES (Army Air Force Exchange Service). He said he is on a 6 month rotation through Iraq. He makes $6.51 an hour back home, but over here it is more like $17 per hour, counting his hazardous duty pay and all. Not a bad raise.
