Base pay, with allowances about 51k a year, including bonuses about 62k. Benefits (health care, dental, life insurance, etc...) included is probably about 70k a year ish.(I factor it in when I think about my pay) Not amazing, but pretty alright for a guy that didn't make it through college (stay in school make more than me please) on top of that due to my rate I have and am receiving what equates to a bachelors which makes me a bit more valuable once I decide to rejoin the civilian market.
