Norwegian pay in the 90s
Regular pay for conscripts were around 10 US dollars a day .12 if you were a cpl. ( 60 and 70 NOK respectively ).
As a sargent you had a monthly pay of around 15000 NOK or 2,500 US dollars roughly .But this increased with any field time ( i.e duty out of camp or any travel.) If I got lucky and had a couple of courses with travel to and from and a big EX one month ,it got to be around 3000 US (21000 NOK).
Not bad for a 20 year old I guess.
But when I deployed overseas so many bonuses kicked in in addition to favourable taxation rules .
As a 2nd LT. I made around 5000US /30 000 NOK a month after taxes.
Dont know what they make today out there ,but I hear our SF guys make around 7000-10 000 US a month when you add all of it up and factor in tax cuts etc .
