Pay Scales

Here are some sample Pay Scale calculations based on the following:

Texas (no special locality pay)
No State Taxes (Texas doesn't have any)
Other with holdings percentages based on an actual pay check

Pleas keep in mind this is NOT all encompassing and is only ment to give you a better idea of what your are in for in terms of pay while at the academy and possibly afterwards.
