  Danger pay is usually 2x normal salary. Some wants to be deployed >
  
  Twice the normal salary? That’s pretty damn good! If memory serves, it was $150 extra per month for the US. I wonder if the Foreign Legion is hiring? >
  
  150 when? Hazard duty pay, combat pay, tax free, it's was 2x in 2008. Mad money on deployment in afg both times. I miss it >
  
  Did you deploy as E1? Only way your math makes sense is if you were Army or Marines.
