more than $790 actually.

cos for cpl ($490)
+
cdo vocation allowance ($300)
+
combat allowance (range from $100 to $300 according to recruit handbook, but usually only $100)
+
risk allowance (duno how much)
+
duno wht "backpay" mention earlier by 1 of u
=
minimum $900+ to just over $1k (if ur rank over cpl then cfm over $1k)

$300 is combat + risk pay. Total is $790, which is wad i receive as a cpl. Our sgts r over $1000, nt sure exactly hw much.

As u can c not very much in fact. Its hardearned money.

i heard that while training to be cdo (finished bmt), you will get ur basic service pay ($490) + allowance or something (forget what its called), however you cannot take this allowance. When you pop as red beret, they will 1 shot give you all the locked money?

Where got so much!!

Wah anyway for the amount of pay you get, you do more **** than the equivalent rank of your pay in another infantry unit.. though you are expose to more operations and have to do more standby duties which is bye bye weekends!

ok lets try to get it straight

rank (typically lets treat it as cpl) $490
+
"combat allowance" aka "risk allowance" aka "commando vocation"(they are the same thing?) $300
=
$790?

cos my fren in commando like 10 years ago, he say he during that time get $700+ ready, so now shld be at least $900+.

CPL pay used to be 420 in the past so 300 extra allowance would be 720 so its still within the range your friend got.

Look at the pay for the rank then add 300 bucks. but i doubt you get combat/risk allowance when you are a recruit

after 10 years only increase $70???

The new increase was like only about 3 yrs ago. You expect pay rise to happen alot? That pay rise was also more for 3SGs by increasing their pay more while the other ranks only had little pay increment. Purpose of the pay rise was to reflect the work that specs are actually doing.

er you mean recruit get rank + $300? then red beret aka full-fledged commando that time is how much?
I said I DOUBT recruits will get the 300 bucks. But after BCT (BMT) you should get the 300 bucks on top of your rank pay
