Does a master at arms in the navy reserve make good money?
In the US military, everyone of the same rank and time in service makes the same amount of money. I am an E-6 in the air force reserve with 6 years of service. I make the same money as an E-6 with 6 years of service in any other branch of service regardless of the job they do. It is the same for officers. That being said, there is also incentive pay for hazardous duty and flight. Reserve drill pay for the current fiscal year can be found here http://www.dfas.mil/militarypay/military… on pages 7 for officers and page 8 for enlisted. Reservists get paid for four drills for their one weekend a month UTA, but day for day for the 15 days of anual tour each year or while activated.
