How much do aumotive/heavy equipment mechanics make in the military?
Starting salary…
Would a degree make a difference?
Everyone gets the same pay, regardless of their job. Pay is based off your rank, plus any additional things like combat pay, flight pay, or housing allowances for married folks.
Google "military pay chart" for the latest pay scales, based on rank and time in service.

You should really do some research. You make exactly what your rank is. It's not an hourly job, you get paid according to your rank on the 1st and 15th of every month. Starting salary? what are you stupid? A degree will not make any difference unless you plan on going officer and which case you need to go to college anyway. Next time do a Google search.

Unlike a civilian job, in the US military your salary is based on your rank and not on your job skill. Without a bachelor's degree, you would be enlisted and the ranks go from E-1 to E-9 and your pay differs in each rank only by time in grade (length of time in the service) and also if you have any dependents or not. Try to google "2009 Enlisted pay chart" to see the exact amts. Also I've heard that some MOSs are easier to be promoted than others.
If you get your degree, it is possible for you to become an officer after you go to OCS. Their pay is higher than the enlisted since they are the "leadership" ranks but their training is more rigorous and they have a higher drop out rate.

You won't make $1399.50 until you have 4 months of service…. With that said you need to plan on the entire time you're in BCT and AIT (depending on the length of your AIT) you will make $1,294.50 a month in base pay.

Military members are paid according to their rank. Although some specialties get extra pay, the base pay is all the same. A degree may get you an extra stripe out of basic training but the pay is still based on rank. (A degree may make you eligible for officer training which would bring more money than being enlisted.)
An E-1 would get $1400 per month after basic training while an E-2 would get $1569. If you got a degree and became an officer you would start at around $2655. This is base pay. You may also get housing and subsistence allowance depending on circumstances.

It does not matter what your job is in the military we get paid the same. All that matters is your rank. That determines how much you will make.
