I'm looking for a pay scale from 1931/32 or someone who would know what the monthly pay would have been for a cavalry 1SG during those years with 30 years service and single, no dependents?

 

Thanks

Ed can't help in your time period but have a Dec. 1913 recruiting booklet and it states a 30 year First Sgt. monthly retirement as $67.50 a month for life. I think this includes a $15.75 retired soldiers allowance for quarters, food, clothing and utilities according to the propaganda. Need booklet stamped from recruiting office in Kewanee Il. I'll try to bring it to the March get together for you to look at...George

I know the WWII era privately published Officer's Guide had a pay scale for officers. I am not sure if they had them for enlisted as well, or how early they were published.

Thanks George, I wonder what % of that retirement would have been active monthly pay?

1st Grade would have been the highest rank of E-7 over 20 years and cavalry soldiers received an additional $30.00 a month in specialist pay. This pay scale was from 1922-1940.
