'Longevity' Is Key To Military Pay Raise
With the recent passage of a new military pay raise by Congress, a service career has become much more attractive.
ampass on the new raise has been placed on the length of service the individual has, which in military terms is called "longevity."
As the continuous length of service increases, so the pay for the individual increases.
The Marines have two ways a college man may obtain a commission. The first is through Officer Candidate school, which comes after college graduation. The second is the Platoon Leaders class, which a man may enter in his freshman, sophomore or junior year.
Maj. Earle Belknap, assistant professor of naval science yesterday pointed out some of the advantages made by the new pay raise in regard to the Marine Corps officer training programs.
For the graduating senior who enters Officers Candidate school, the monthly pay is $339.08. The student who entered the PLC program, in his sophomore year would receive $412.68 a month, since the PLC officer would have three years longevity over the OCS officer.
Since both men would have to serve on three years active duty with the Marine Corps, the PLC officer would receive about $2,600 more than the OCS officer.
As Maj. Belknap pointed out, "It's to the lad's own interest to start planning early."
He added that both Marine programs were still open for any men interested in serving with the Marine Corps for their eight years of military service.
