Whether or not you agree with our country's decision to go to war, we can all agree that we owe a debt of gratitude to those people in our armed forces. With that said, we lenders owe it to our military customers to have a little better understanding and knowledge of their livelihood. One little known way to accomplish this is know how and how much they are paid. Military personnel are paid at least three different types of income.
