Military pay in South Carolina matches or exceeds civilian earnings
In South Carolina, many reservists and National Guard members on active duty earn as much or more than their civilian jobs. A pay mix of base wages plus combat zone and separation allowances boosts typical sergeants to about 3,475 per month, outstripping civilian sheriff deputies. About two thirds of 2,400 Guard members on active duty earn equal or higher pay, prompting some to re-enlist. Some families with self employment face financial strain.
