Some of the questions on here are silly. There are whole websites set up to answer this question and any other one like it. I use them everyday at work! The main one is www.usmc.mil and the one that answers this question is www.dod.mil There is a whole pay rate chart on it for the entire military including seperation and combat pay rates. Use the resources you're given ask questions if you don't understand the information!

That question is pretty legit compared some of the other stuff that gets asked around here. Thats great that you use those websites everyday at work, but other people may not need to for their jobs and therefore don't know about those sites or all the information that can be found on them. You may not have noticed, but this is a pretty good resource that is available. Even though it wasn't "given" by the Marine Corps, people still should be able to use it- and not get blasted for doing so.
Sorry if it came off as mean. I wasn't being mean. I'm merely stating how people don't do any research for themselves anymore. It mainly stems from college and how everyone in the computer lab would just ask me how to do something expecting me to do their homework/project for them instead of picking up a book and looking up the answer. Then asking if maybe it didn't work right or they didn't understand a step in the instructions. That doesn't teach you anything or help you out in life. Plus, I had my own work to do!
I realize that there are a lot of units out there that keep their marines in the dark (I won't name any directly). I'm not like that and don't understand why someone would be. Hey, the more you know the less you ask me questions. :icon_tong I'm just one of those people that researches EVERYTHING myself before I do it.

Its ok to do research, just as long as its not done here

I prefer to research everything myself, but that's only because I've learned WHERE to research over the past decade.
Remember, there are all-comers on this site. Some are high school kids who are just intersted in flying, some are college wannabes, some are enlisteds looking to transition, some are SNA/SNFOs, some are operators, some are retired, and one of us is A4s. Not everyone has the same knowledge base, nor does everyone have the experience to know where to look to find the right answers.
Think of it as a PFC asking his fireteam leader how to call for fire. What kind of leader would the corporal be if he just said, "Figure it out yourself?" Sure, the pubs are out there to learn how to call in a fire mission. Though the young Marine shows an interest in something relevant, he simply lacks the knowledge of where such resources are located.
With the exception of occasional "What percentage get jets" query, 99% of the questions are honest questions from that PFC. Before we say, "lock this thread!" or "find out for yourself," let's give folks the benefit of the doubt and help them out a bit. Then they can be the ones who answer the new batch of "What percentage get Space Shuttles" questions.
