W-5s Make Between $8,296.20 and $10,956.40 a Month
Navy, Marines, and Army servicepeople move from W-3s to W-5s, and this is the highest pay grade available. Those with 20 years of experience earn a bit less, but if you have 38+ years, you could earn six figures!
O-10s Make $16,608.30 a Month
Generals in the Air Force, Space Force, Marines, and Army, and Admirals in the Navy or Coast Guard have reached O-10 level. However, they make a base pay of $199,299.60 each year, so they certainly don’t mind!
