Yes they should (and in the AF do), but it should be quite a bit more. Having done fill in shirt duty, I had to attend the qtrly awards breakfast and ALS graduation. Just these two events take up a big chunk of of the $150 a month that is provided. Tack on the "landing fees" or annual dues for Top 3 membership, First Sgt Council membership, the typical "pass the hat" etc. that that "extra pay" is quickly in to the negative.

Air Force Commanders also get more pay. It is a small amount, intended to cover costs of unit events, challenge coins, buying tickets for young enlisted troops to attend events they may not be able to afford, & etc. As a commander, I made sure to use my allowance for these "commander costs", and not for myself.
