generally its pretty straight forward, part or all of your student loan obligations based on your commitment (3-6 yr & reserve vs active), more if you do more years and more for active vs reserve. That is in addition to your pay, plus other monies and benefits. You need to be 30 yrs or less for active, 35 for reserve.
If you are looking to go full time, starting pay is around 40k plus housing/or housing allowance. the general equivalent for a lieutenant is that their pay and benefits equal about 70k year, you also get medical for you and your family (kids). Plus a host of other benefits too.
Call me if you have any questions.

We see a ton of girls around here marry for the army money. Not sure if its prevalent everywhere else, but we knew plenty of chicks that bounce from army guy to army guy. But shit, college paid for, rent paid for, and spending allowance... all while hubby is overseas? No wonder. My best friends ex left him for one, and then while he was overseas, found another. Now she's married and moving to Hawaii....
