I know there's idp and hazardous duty pay, and then the untaxed basic pay, then i'll get seperation pay, but my marine was telling me something about how when a marine goes over a 7 month deployment the pay becomes even more........ anyone have the numbers for that?

i know idp and hazardous is 225, and 100, then seperation is 250, then his basic is 1827....i'm just a little lost on the numbers for this whole 10 month deployment anyone know? or have been thru a deployment for that long and have recieved extra pay?

there is no extra pay for going over x number of months usually. Only those deployments lasting over TWELVE months were getting an extra thousand dollars.. but only if they were extended AFTER they arrived in Country.

I have been through what you're going through now (except the pregnancy part), the only difference is that I am the wife, not the Marine. A LOT of Marines have this outlook "if you were meant to have a wife the Marine Corps would issue you one" because of the divorce rate of Military families in the Marines. It's almost higher then 50%. There is a lot of speculation as to why they say this, some of it is because during deployments some couples on both ends have a hard time staying faithful to each other (btw, that is all military not just Marines). It is also said the Marines more so then any other branch live a hard core military lifestyle that would be difficult for someone who isn't used that to become accustom to it, I don't believe that but it's another reason my husband and I were given. They also recommend that you not get married until you're a higher rank of at least seargant or above (funny that they have the higher divorce rate of those that are lower ranked). But in the Marine Corps for most people to make Seargant or above you would have to go for two terms. Some people do make Seargant during their first term but it's usually not until the end that they pick up that rank. My husband is a Corpral we make enough money to survive with our bills and one child with another on the way. The only advice that I can give you is that if you CAN get married before you deploy, and if you don't have any bills, do not rack up a bunch like we did. Get a car if you don't have one and then leave it at that, you'll find a lot more money to play with in your checks. Get your future wife on the WIC program that will help out TONS in the future when your baby gets here, alls she needs is a confirmation letter from her doctors office stating she's pregnant to get on it and proof of income. And the Marine Corps wont give you the baby as a dependant until it's born, as soon as it is born you just go down to DEERS and register your newborn and you'll get a little extra pay (not much) for another dependant. Any which way, congradulations on your future marrige and your baby on the way! And don't believe EVERYTHING the other guys say about having a wife while in the Marine Corps, it's not all true.

I recieved $1000 for my last month of pay during my 13 month deployment to Al Asad, Iraq due to the fact I broke a year. The lady above me is wrong. My intial order were for a 13 month deployment, I did not get extended. You recieve it regardless if you were extended past a year or you had orders past a year.

You get paid nothing. The marine who is deployed gets extra pay. Get a job while he is gone and pay your own bills!

No, the extra pay is only for those deploying longer than 12 months. If that were the case, all army would always get the extra pay, because their deployments are typically 12 months, and they come home before the 366th day. It is a DOD regulation, which means it covers ALL services. Not just Army, not just Marines, but everyone.



Now you'll still get the normal deployment pays, but nothing extra until you hit 366 days.



Mrsjvb is wrong, the $800 in AIP and $200 in HDP adding up to $1000 extra is for ANYONE who deploys longer than 12 months (365 days)BOG, no matter what their orders were for. And it is not to be pro-rated for partial months.



The information clarifying that anyone over 12 months BOG regardless of what their orders say qualifies for the extra pay is here. Yes this does just apply to army personnel, but I believe they are the only ones who have had orders for more than 12 months BOG http://www.armyg1.army.mil/MilitaryPersonnel/Hyperlinks/Adobe%20Files/ALARACT%20137%202007.pdf



The official regulations for this can be found in the DOD Financial Management Regulation.



Here:

And here:



http://www.defenselink.mil/comptroller/fmr/07a/07a_15.pdf pages 15-5 through 15-6



If anyone did deploy more than 12 months and did NOT get the extra pay, I highly suggest that you take this information to finance and get your extra pay.



Edit:



Yes, the army and marines are different branches, but the regulation is a DOD regulation, not an army regulation, so it covers ALL branches of the military under the Department of Defense.



Unless there is some marine regulation somewhere...



Okay I did some research, and this is what I found, this is from 2007, but it was all I could find.



"Corps gives up to $1,000 a month for combat extensions

By John Hoellwarth - jhoellwarth@militarytimes.com

Posted : July 16, 2007



Marines deployed to a combat zone for more than a year will get $1,000 more in their paychecks each additional month they spend at war, according to a Corps-wide message released July 1.



An involuntary extension past the 365-day mark “due to unplanned operational requirements” entitles officers and enlisted Marines to $800 in assignment incentive pay plus $200 more in hardship duty pay, according to MarAdmin 397/07.



While the pay is monthly, a Marine need only spend one extra day with “boots on the ground” in the combat zone to rate the pay for that month. For example, a Marine who stays in theater 61 days past his one-year mark would rate three months’ worth of compensation, as long as the extension is involuntary, said Capt. Phillip Bonincontri, the Corps’ compensation policy chief.



Marines who volunteer to stay or exceed the year mark because they’re assigned to a unit’s advance or rear parties do not rate the extra money, he said.



The message also announced a monthly assignment incentive pay of $250 for Marines who were expected to serve a seven-month deployment but were involuntarily extended for up to another five months.



This affects Marines at the battalion level or below, who typically deploy for seven months. Leathernecks at the regimental or group level deploy for one year, and would be eligible for the $1,000 per month in combined AIP and HDP.



Bonincontri estimated that roughly 1,500 Marines would qualify for either of the payments, but that number could increase in the future depending on operational commitments. Both pays are retroactive to March 16.



“This is designed to carry us forward in the event that Marines are extended in the future,” he said.



In early January, the Corps announced that two infantry battalions — 1st Battalion, 6th Marines, and 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines — would be extended in Iraq for 90 days and the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit would stay 45 days longer than initially expected.



In addition to its headquarters element, the Camp Pendleton, Calif.-based MEU comprises Battalion Landing Team 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines; Combat Logistics Battalion 15; and Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 165.



During a Feb. 16 meeting with reporters, Conway said the intent of the $250 per month pay was to give the Marines in these units compensation similar to what the Defense Department had already authorized for soldiers involuntarily extended past their usual year-long rotation.



“What we’re advocating,” Conway said, “is that there should also be some stipend there for people who serve seven months — $250 a month would be what we put against those folks that have deployed something less than a year. That would be our service policy.”



These pay announcements follow other recent initiatives to reward those who add time to their enlistment in order to stay in the combat zone.



MarAdmin 108/07, released Feb. 14, authorized $500 per month to Marines who added time to their enlistment contracts to stay with an involuntarily extended unit.



Those Marines who extended or re-enlisted to stay in theater for a deployment that was unexpectedly lengthened past the year mark rate both the $500 and $1,000 payments, Bonincontri said.



Then on May 21, the Corps released MarAdmin 323/07, which said Marines who are slated to end their active-duty commitment before Sept. 30, but who agree to extend into the next fiscal year in order to complete a standard, seven-month deployment with their unit, are entitled to $3,000 in AIP. Those who extend to follow through with a year-long deployment rate $6,000. That pay is retroactive to Oct. 1, 2006. "



So if you can wade through all of that, it looks like those who were involuntarily extended longer than 7 months, when they originally had orders for 7 months got an extra $250 per month. And then something about agreeing to extend into the next fiscal year to deploy for 7 months. And then something about volunteering to stay back with an extended unit.



It looks like, in the cases of Marine's extended less than one year but more than 7 months HAS to be an extension after they were already over there.



Otherwise it is the same, $1,000 extra for every month over 12.
