Special Warfare Airmen receive pays above and beyond their Air Force peers. In this article, we’ll take an in-depth look at what the monthly income will look like for Active Duty Special Warfare operators at multiple locations and timelines through their career. First, a quick review the basics of Air Force pays and allowances:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the Air Force all Airmen collect a Base Pay, a subsistence food allowance (called BAS), and a housing allowance. When stationed overseas, Airmen will also collect a special cost of living allowance (COLA). For Special Warfare airmen, there are additional pays as well. We’ll combine all of these to compute a monthly paycheck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enlisted Special Warfare airmen receive two types of special pays: Battlefield Airman Incentive Pay (BASIP) and enlisted-only Special Duty Assignment Pay (SDAP). Pay range is dependent on skill level and qualifications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
