Uhmmmmm, the same pay chart as everyone else? There may be a one time incentive bonus and they enjoy not having to carry medical malpractice liability insurance

There are a lot of subtle incentives. A direct commission PA can expect to make 25-30% more than their Company Grade peers.

Depends on their rank and number of years of service. I am a Major and 23 years of service so I am paid roughly one-third of what I am worth. Happily, there are bonuses...which doubles my pay. So, by the time you pay taxes...most PAs essentially work for free.

Not following your math...most of my M-Day PAs make $50k/yr for IDT/AT/CME/bonus. For 40ish days annually...equates to ~$120/hr.

You’ll need to work with an AMEDD recruiter. Direct commission as a 1LT or higher depending on years of experience. Student loan repayments and bonuses available. Pro pay and board certification adds about $1k/mo on Active Duty. Prorated in AR and NG.

The military pay chart is available publicly online. You would start out as an O1 and progress through the ranks over time.

LTC (Join to see) for direct Commission, when they're approved, it's usually based off years of experience. Even the direct commission PAs I've met all came in as O2 or O3. I've never actually seen an O5 PA, that's even more of a unicorn than and CW5 lol

We have 7 O5 and a pair of O5 PAs currently in TXARNG. I’ve known a dozen plus O6 PAs. SFC (Join to see)

SFC (Join to see) DC officers also get constructive credit for degrees. Doctorate is worth 4 year, Masters is worth 3.
