Chapter 16 – Tweedledum and Tweedledee
(continued) For Part 1, click here.
Homebuying and Moving
- Prior to a move, take some time off, go ahead and use your ten days of paid, non-chargeable House Hunting Leave
- Once you’re actually traveling to that new home, why don’t we tack on Per Diem of $109 to $381 for each day you’re en route, on top of your regular compensation?
- And, since government travel regulations limit the number of per diem days you can get, why don’t we let you collect Temporary Lodging Expenses for food and lodging for another ten days?
- Of course, that won’t cover everything, so take a couple thousand bucks in Dislocation Allowance
- You’ll want to take all of your stuff, so let’s pay for commercial movers to load and haul up to 18,000 pounds of your junk, er, Household Goods Shipment. Or, if you make a Do-It Yourself (DITY) move, then you can collect an incentive payout of 95% of what the commercial move would have cost.
- And you’ll want your cars, trucks or SUVs (or, in militarese, your “privately owned vehicles”) at that new home, so we’d better pay for POV Shipment as well.
- Oh, and if you want to put that POV in storage for a while, let the taxpayer pick up the tab for you
- If you want to drive one of them yourself, why not collect a Military Allowance in Lieu of Transportation (MALT) instead of flying on the taxpayer dime.
- Can’t get into your new quarters immediately? We’d better add on Temporary Lodging Allowance for a couple of months.
- Going to be living the adventure through an overseas move for that next job? Why don’t we throw in a Move-In Housing Allowance?
- Now that the home mortgage market is returning to at least a must-fog-a-mirror credit standard, wouldn’t it be nifty if the public treasury footed the bill for all military and almost every veteran to get a VA Guaranteed Home Loan without a downpayment or the burden of private mortgage insurance? It does. And it’s not just houses, you’re subsidized for condos, co-ops, home improvements, re-fi’s, mobile homes, and even energy improvements.
- Worried about declining property values? Military folks aren’t. Under the Homeowners Assistance Program, if real estate values decline in an area where there has been a military facility closure, or just a realignment, then DoD will either pay servicemembers the difference between appraised value and 95% of fair market value before closure/realignment—or just buy the property.
Morale and Welfare
- As a baseline, we’ll give every military member 30 days of Annual Leave a/k/a vacation each year, with full pay and allowances
- Now let’s add in ten paid Federal Holidays each year
- And if you want still more time, just take some Excess Leave if you have some kind of personal emergency—and we won’t charge that against your balance, either
- Of course if you’re sick, you should not have to use up your vacation time for that, so let’s add on as much unchargeable paid Convalescent Leave as you need.
- Take two months paid vacation (“Graduation Leave”) if you just completed a service academy
- Want to take three or four vacation days without having to use up your leave? Just ask for a Special Pass if you’re Army or Air Force, or Special Liberty you’re Navy or Marines
- And if you want to go to a convention or meeting, we’ll just give you non-chargeable leave and call it PTDY (or Permissive Temporary Duty). After all, shouldn’t you be given paid vacation to attend the Armed Forces Golf Conference in West Palm Beach, the Armed Forces Bowling Conference in Orlando or, of course, Tailhook? Hey, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas
- After all, that golf seminar will be much needed if you are going to compete for the $10,000 cash prize in the military-only Military Long Drive Competition sponsored by the Army Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) Command
- Not a golfer? Don’t worry, using a mix of appropriated Operations & Maintenance funds and non-appropriated monies (such as base exchange profits) the MWR activities of the various services provide the following sorts of things for free or highly
subsidized servicemember enjoyment: gyms; pools; recreation centers; parks; picnic areas; libraries; auto and wood hobby shops; music & theater programs; travel campgrounds; bowling, power- and sailboating; stables; discount event tickets (movies, amusement parks, concerts, etc.); child development centers; youth sports; summer camps; officer’s clubs; NCO and enlisted clubs; marinas; skeet and trap ranges; ice and roller rinks; skydiving; flying; and rental of recreation vehicles, camping, and recreation equipment - Actually, the MWR program is so massive that the above description does not begin to do it justice. For example, military “recreation centers” are not exactly a foosball table in a musty basement. Instead, try a 586-room resort on the grounds of Disney World, an 817-room “Polynesian Paradise” hotel right on the beach in Waikiki, or a 330-room Bavarian ski lodge in the German Alps complete with its own private slopes
- Don’t want to be limited to rec centers? Stay on base at tens of thousands of military temporary lodging and guesthouse units in places such as
- Of course, you’ll need to get to that dream destination, so whether you are active, reserve or retired why not take advantage of free Space Available Travel on military aircraft moving between at least 275 military air terminals worldwide. Where would you like to fly for free—
Retirement
- Of all the benefits, the big kahuna, the brass ring, the golden goose, the numero uno is … the pension. Serve for twenty years and you can begin collecting 50% of your active-duty pay as a pension. Yes, starting at age 38 you can have an annually cost-adjusted pension payout for the rest of your life. Hang around for ten more years of service, and you can take home as much as 75% of your active pay.
- Now, we’re sure all of you have a full pension with cost-of-living increases through your job, but do you get that and a whole ‘nother retirement plan thrown in as well? Military personnel are eligible for a government-sponsored 401k clone known as the Thrift Savings Plan, with the same contribution limits and tax breaks as their civilian counterparts in a 401k plan.
Frankly, we could go on and on. But, if we make our research intern look up much more of this, he’ll end up right back where we found him—on yet another Jagermeister binge, wandering the back alleys of
Suffice it to say this: The U.S. military member has a platinum-level benefits package that is simply amazing. It is a relic of a bygone era, unmatched anywhere. In fact, their benefits are so bountiful—they’d make a Congressman blush.
And some of those guys are plenty used to treating the public treasury like a cut-rate Russian hooker in downtown
OK, we ran through military fringe benefits in painful detail. Now let’s look at what the armed contractor receives.
Insurance
- If the contractor is ultimately working for the
- Life Insurance most of the major private security companies provide their contractors / mercenaries (your choice) with additional life insurance of $100,000 to $500,000 or more. It’s not clear whether Blackwater currently does this or not, but to err on the side of caution we’ll throw that in as well.
That’s it. That is the entirety of the benefits package that these “mercenaries” are paid.
MILITARY PAY
Show Me The Money!
OK, you say, so the benefits side of the equation is dramatically, even drastically one-sided. But at that $1,000-a-day rate, who cares, eh?
Uh, yeah, about that $1,000 per thing. Um, we’ll get to that in a minute. For now, let’s look at the military money.
On the military side, there is an extensive list of random allowances, incentives, and bonuses that tend to obscure the total cash payout. Further complicating the question are the more than sixty, yes 60, different “special pays” that servicemembers can receive in certain situations. Key provisions in this patchwork include:
- Base Pay. This is the number, usually in the form of a buck private’s salary, which pundits love to cherry pick and stack up against the mythical $1,000 a day rate. It is of course not one number, but an entire chart of pay rates, reflecting the varying responsibility and expertise of individuals in uniform, from $1300 per month to $14,500 per month.
- Basic Allowance for Housing. If you don’t live in government quarters for free, you receive this variable-rate payment based on your geographic location, pay grade and number of dependents. It ranges anywhere from a low of $455 per month for a single dude in scenic Owensboro, Kentucky to over $3500 per month for a senior bubba with dependents who spends his or her days in San
Francisco pining for the time when the Presidio was the exclusive preserve of free Army housing. Like other military allowances, BAH is always tax-free. - Cost of Living Allowance. If you live in an expensive area, you receive an extra “COLA” averaging from $300-some to $4800-something annually.
- Overseas Housing Allowance. For those stationed outside the
- Overseas COLA. Not only a tasty energy drink soon to be introduced by Rabbit Industries, but a billion dollars a year that the government doles out to military members outside the U.S. as a supplement to their housing allowance, averaging about $3600 per person.
- Basic Allowance for Subsistence. This “food money” is paid out at $280 per month for enlisted or $192 per month for officers, although as a practical matter it only goes into the family budget if the servicemember is not deployed.
- Family Separation Allowance. Spend more than 30 days away from your family, and this allowance of $250 per month kicks in.
- Clothing Allowance. A payment to compensate enlisted personnel for clothing purchases, ranging from about $550 to $1070 per year.
- Hostile Fire / Imminent Danger Pay (a/k/a “Combat Pay”). Although military in
- Hazardous Duty Pay. If you’re involved in work such as demolitions or flight deck operations, you receive this special pay of $150 to $250 per month.
- Hardship Duty Pay. Anywhere from $50 to $750 per month in additional compensation paid to servicemembers assigned in locations with substandard living conditions.
- Flight Pay (Aircrew). Serve as a member of an aircraft crew, collect an incentive pay of $150 to $250 a month.
- Career Flier Incentive Pay. If you’re Navy or Air Force, then you may be eligible for monthly incentive pay of $150 to $400 a month.
- Aviation Career Incentive Pay. A monthly special pay of $125 to $840 for those officers involved in military aviation.
- Aviation Continuation Pay. Each additional year of service nets pilots another $12,000 to $25,000 in additional compensation.
- Sea Pay Premium. A supplement to regular Sea Pay, pay up to another $350 per month to certain servicemembers.
- Submarine Duty Pay. $75 to $835 extra per month for living in a nuclear-powered sewer pipe.
- Diving Duty Pay. Not only do you get paid to have diving as your job, but collect an extra $240 to $340 in special pay each month.
- Foreign Language Proficiency Pay. Not only will the military pay for a year or more of language training in beautiful Monterrey, California, and pay you to take that training, they’ll then pay you an additional $1,000 each month because you sprachen ze.
- Special Duty Assignment Pay. For those who are involved in certain specialties from explosive ordnance work to submarine navigation, this special pay provides an extra $75 to $450 per month.
- Combat-related Injury and Rehabilitation Pay. Special pay received while recovering from wounds, injury or illness suffered in a combat zone, up to $430 per month.
- Special Warfare Officer Continuation Pay. The experienced snake-eaters and steely eyed killers who are nominally the counterpart of our mercenary friends collect an extra $15,000 for each year of service.
- Enlistment Bonuses. The bonus program for soldiers begins the day they enlist, with cash payments of up to $40,000 just for signing up. Become an officer and collect an extra $10,000 via the Officer Candidate School Bonus.
- Reenlistment Bonuses. Once you have the experience that makes you comparable to your private security contractor counterpart, reenlist and receive a bonus of up to $90,000 for regular Army personnel.
- For certain key ratings and locations, you can receive an additional bonus of up to $50,000 or even $75,000 under Selective Reenlistment Bonus programs. Or go for the Targeted Selective Reenlistment Bonus, which only applies to certain locations, but offers up to $30,000 in additional money.
- Sign up for the Bonus Extension and Retraining (BEAR) Bonus, and you not only get trained for a new, more desirable specialty, but you get the bonus for your new specialty as well.
- Long-term military members are also eligible for a $30,000 Career Service Retention Bonus.
- Military members in critical specialties such as special operations are further eligible for a Critical Skills Retention Bonus of as much as $150,000 for reenlisting.
Returning to Mr. Scahill’s comment—you do remember that he started this exercise in pain?—that mercenaries receive “all sorts of tax breaks,” it is worth noting the tax advantages accorded servicemembers.
The 30 percent or more of military income that is comprised of allowances is generally tax-free with regard to both income and social security taxes, regardless of deployment status.- Military income for non-residents is excluded from state and local taxes. Back in the member’s home state, there are a variety of military exemptions and breaks—and a shocking number of military personnel coincidentally claim residency in states that do not tax military income, such as Florida or Pennsylvania.
- Further, if deployed to a combat zone, then all income earned is completely tax free, up to $82K and change for officers, and without any limit for enlisted—even if they are receiving those six-figure re-enlistment bonuses.
So, to paraphrase Schlepless in Seattle:
“Do you know how much a soldier in
“No one knows. It changes practically every day.”
MERCENARY PAY
The Daily Rate
Of course, we know exactly how much the armed contractor is paid—$1,000 per day, right?
Yes.
If by yes you mean absolutely not.
The $1,000 rate is an urban legend used to inflame and dramatize the debate.
That’s not just an assertion by The Rabbit. The PR types for our PSC strawman Blackwater advertise that fact on the company website. More importantly, the company tells prospective contractors that their compensation is to be $550 per day.
And since no one would expect a reasonable person to believe the statements of these security companies as to what they pay, then how about the fact that it even creeps into some media stories? For example, here is a Washington Post story in which a real live Blackwater contractor verifies that the pay rate is $500 to $600 per day.
So let’s see. 365 ¼ days per year at $550 per day, carry the two, add five and we get … uh, not so fast.
You see, the military guy is paid whether he or she is in an Anbar ambush or a backroom Balad bar. In fact, they’re still being paid when they get sent back to
The greedy mercenary, contariwise, only gets paid for the days he or she is actually on station providing services to the government.
How many days? Obviously, that depends on the individual. Some probably go for just a couple, or a few months, before they’ve had a bellyful and are ready to leave. Others may hang tough for effectively all year.
The Rumor Mill
It is here that we get to the “real” average Blackwater compensation number. It is also where The Rabbit gets to a dilemma.
We’ve made it our policy to strive to document every factual assertion with a cite, and if possible, a link to an outside source to back up that fact. Here, however, we have the info, but we simply don’t have a link, folks.
If we were a traditional media outlet, we’d simply handle that situation by breathlessly reporting “
If we were most blogs, we’d just say it and expect you to swallow it whole.
Instead, since it is such an extremely relevant number, we’ll tell you the D.C. rumor, and then leave it to those far more connected to high-powered D.C. insiders than us to dig out documentation of the facts.
Rumor has it that as part of the burgeoning Congressional probe of all things Iraq, appropriations officials obtained the average compensation for a Blackwater contractor in 2006—and it was somewhere south of $60 grand.
By way of comparison, studies that have sought to include the value of some of those military benefits place the average total compensation of military members to at $90,000 to $138,000.
Of course The Rabbit does not expect you to accept the rumored Blackwater number for purposes of this analysis, but it shore ‘nuff is interesting fuel for thought about how much spin is going on in the private contractor debate.
Speaking of which, has anyone else noticed how many people of all political stripes are claiming, “Our Founding Fathers would be rolling in their graves if only they knew about ______ [insert pet agenda here--from Patriot Act to anti-war activists]?” By all reports, the Fathers are spinning so fast (and for so many conflicting reasons) that if we could hitch just one or two of ‘em up to a generator … heck, we’d power the whole Eastern seaboard.
The Comparison
Anyway, after all this build-up about the relative compensation, we can’t hardly leave you with nothing in the way of a comparison, however much it may be a matter of apples to cumquats.
So, a sample comparison is laid out below (click on it to enlarge), based on the reported Blackwater figures and a 153-page
In any event, the chart is chock full of numbers—and we’ve already talked about how lies, damn lies, and statistics work. Increase or decrease the experience level and rank of the military member, or force the armed contractor to work overseas more days, and you affect the comparison.
As usual, we will leave it to you to draw your own conclusions. It is clear, though, that however you stack the numbers, the contractor is not vastly or even significantly better compensated than the military member—at a bare minimum they are comparable.
Further, the servicemember/veteran will still be dipping into the public treasury for that massive assortment of benefits long after the “outrageous” payments to the “mercenary” have ended.
Conclusion
One morning soon, you’ll see the latest “news” piece about PSCs, and once again read about mercenaries being paid thousands in taxpayer lucre as they use their cloven hooves to play hacky sack with the severed heads of newborn children. But you’ll know better. At least about the $1,000 part.

As both an enlisted US Soldier and a former Blackwater subcontractor, I find your analysis here a little skewed. The sort of skewed that comes from reading a lot of stuff without actually hitting the sandbox.
Your rundown of the copious benefits alotted to the US military is accurate -- on paper -- but actually prying most of those benefits out of Uncle Sugar is about as easy as finding a bottle of Wild Turkey on Chicken Street on a Friday.
Soldiers, raise your hand if you ever actually took ten days to go house hunting after a PCS. Now raise your hand if you knew you were technically allowed that but were pressured into foregoing the privilege. Now raise your hand if you've been enlisted more than five years and you've never even heard of that shit.
I'm guessing the breakdown in the above poll will be around 5% took the leave, 80% waived it, 5% had no idea there was such a thing, and the rest are too cool to select from a list of options.
The only reliable benefits the Army, at least, provides, are PX/commisary privileges, leave, and health care. Even then, it's cheaper to shop at Wal-mart.
It's all well and good to make big lists, but I worked for Blackwater, and I made $850 a day plus health benefits. The Army just can't match that, no matter how long they're willing to put me up in temporary housing.
Anonymous: You're right--of the unbelievable laundry list of benefits available, many service members never use most of them. The point of the list is not who "gets more" but who "costs more." It is to point out that the $1,000-a-day myth is extremely misleading. Thanks for the input. The Rabbit.
Doesn't Blackwater employ local people in overseas deployment? e.g. Iraq. I thought I saw it in the news that the group in question contained three Americans and several Iraqis working for Blackwater.
If so then I would guess that the average pay was skewed by this, and that your average American working for Blackwater does in fact get paid competitively with the military.
Market dynamics would suggest that for this line of work it would have to be that total compensation is very similar, if in fact competent people can be found commonly in both organizations, which is in fact the case.
This line of work would be no different, in the big picture, of a tradesman who decided to work for a Union with its benefits, or go for a higher salary in non-union management with less benefits, or possibly work for the State if a job was available.
Each has its pros and cons, and each person has to decide what they feel is best for them.
But in the big picture, it's approximately 6 on one, a half dozen the other.
The real shocker of the $1000-a-day-for-Blackwater stories if true would be that the market is skewed and that sheepish 18-22 year old apiring soldiers everywhere are enlisting blindly to Uncle Sam having never considered or even had brought to their attention, other job options.
Nobody I ever met, even the dumbest people from my high school, ever went into anything that blindly. Everyone aspires to a job on Easy Street; whether or not they get it they still take the best option they can find. That is very, very often enrolling in the traditional military.
Last point... the "somebody is getting ripped off and underpaid" news story always makes the headlines but is rarely ever the case. True rip-offs or cons never last when any market situation is possible. In the Blackwater $1000 a day case, the "victim" is the traditional military member who can't go work for Blackwater because they are enlisted.
The sheep public likes to read these non-stories because they feel victimized that they are not getting their true monetary value, and what could be more patriotic that comparing oneself's plight to the same plight as our honorable soldiers.
As I was told by the truly wise while in college studying engineering, "of course it's extremely hard. Otherwise everyone would do it". It's so true. Everyone I knew with a brain wanted to study this and only a few survived. But those that did now have, well, benefit packages and total pay comparable to the military and Blackwater.
The analysis is totally misleading.
First, saying that contractors get paid $1000 a day is not wrong, just imprecise.
Blackwater pays $750 a day to drivers--certainly not the highest paid employees. The company then turns around and bills Uncle Sam another 25% for its profit. That's $937 per contractor (DOSIG Audit AUG/IQO-05-13 Jan. 05, Note 6.)
Higher paid managers and employees would skew this number higher, obviously. In the end, saying that we pay Blackwater $1,000 per contractor is dead on. The contractor might not get that much, but then, don't we care more about what taxpayers are paying for each contractor?
Second, the benefits comparison is fatuous.
Under cash compensation, you have the BW contractor being taxed at the max rate on all his salary. No smart contractor would let this happen. Stay overseas for 335 days, and you get the first 82K tax free (See IRS Publication 54).
That means he would be paying about half that much in taxes, around 45,000.
Moving on to In Kind benefits. While deployed those 11 months, the Blackwater contractor gets free board, room, equipment, etc. So that figure should be greater than 0, though less than the amount for soldiers.
Finally, deferred benefits. You've said many times that the Blackwater guys are mostly military vets. If that's so, then they get the same benefits as soldiers. So those two columns should be roughly equal.
A more realistic calculation, based on assumptions above, would produce a soldier with after tax compensation of 198,000 and Blackwater guy with somewhere north of 250,000.
Finally, you used in your example an extremely low ball figure of $550 a day. There might be expats making that much, but I'd doubt there are many ex-SEALs in that category.
Bottom line, the contractors make more than the soldiers do, doing a job which is arguably less risky since they are don't conduct "offensive" operations, are not forward deployed and, oh yeah, can quit when the going gets rough.
Anonymous,
You make great points. I believe it supports my conclusion that both Blackwater employees and US Military are paid competitively with the highest paid college graduates who endured 4 years of difficult study successfully. If I do the analysis of what I get with benefits factored in I also come up with potentially 200 to 250 grand a year. (assuming drawing full family benefits)
So, the equivalent of 198k is extremely generous for a job one can get with only a high school education.
It would be interesting to consider the case of normal business Temps. Companies hire temps when they have temporary manpower shortages. Why don't they simply hire new workers directly rather than using a temp agency?
Also, the pay of an individual is not really the problem, but why can't the DOD beat Blackwater's costs? Obviously BW pays more, but for the same basic individuals DOD has access to. Is it perhaps that the DOD bureaucracy costs far more than Blackwater's that make BW competitive?
So, despite BW paying more than the US military, they can still be cheaper? Imagine if Toyota paid its workers more than GM - but could still sell cars more cheaply than GM. You should be asking what GM's problem is rather than Toyota's, no?
Red A:
The key is "temp" workers.
It's pretty clear that contractors can save money by providing surge capacity. But this is year 5 in Iraq, year 6 in Afghanistan. At this stage, you have to wonder about the cost benefit analysis.
Brad,
18-22 aspiring soldiers would not be accepted by blackwater or other seccurity contractors. It's not even an option. Prior military police service is a must.
Most of those security guys make great money. Cash, not pie in the sky unused benefits. $15,000 a month is alot for a guy that was making $4,000 a month as a soldier.
What I really want to find is the Blackwter Death Benefits. I heard the families get several thousand a month.
A bit misleading in your description of military benefits...
While you did a good job of listing all the potential benefits, there were many instances of the policy not matching the truth on the ground.
First of all you make it seem that every move is initiated by the servicemember to a location he/she wants. Not even close. Look a t a map, most Army bases are located in the part of the state that even the state gov't didn't want.
Since the Army is transferring you to a new location shouldn't they give you time to find a place to live for your family? Or should part of the "generous" 30 days of leave a year be used for house hunting, reception of household goods, unpacking, etc. When you report to work you are expected to have all these things done already.
Since Uncle Sam is forcing you to move why shouldn't they pay to move your household goods?
Again all nice benefits but they aren't used by every servicemember ever year. I've moved to 7 different states in the last 9 years. I'm not complaining, but most civilians wouldn't be please with that sort of disruption to their lives.
Now let's talk MWR...
The special 4 day pass is in conjunction with a weekend. So it's really only 2 days off. And almost every request gets denied. I'm an officer that's missed 12 family and friend weddings this decade - while I was stateside, because mission dictates pass privileges. Most pass requests get denied and the soldier requesting it is looked down upon for wanting to "get over".
Those special meetings are only for those with the rank and job skills applicable to the conference. 20 year old privates aren't going on these TDYs. And very, very few are to exotic places. Now the Air Force that's another story. "All work and no play is not there way!"
Those military recreation centers are not free for soldiers on vacation. They still run about $100 a night on average - enough to be self-sufficient. The Disney World resort is booked 8 months in advance.
And very few army soldiers use the space available options. You have to have 2-3 flexibility on each side in case you are bumped for more important cargo. Who plans a trip like that? Sure makes hotel reservations difficult?
$116,000 in deferred benefits a year? Holy Crap?! Even recruiters don't dare make those claims. If you told an E-6 he made equivalent of almost 200,000 a year he'd laugh for days.
Those deferred benefits are spread out over years. If that E-6 decides to leave the Army after his 10th year then he only made $50,000 in the last year. If that Security Contractor leaves the company after his 11 months, then he made $180,000 in the last year. Ask anyone which they would prefer.
A soldier might get 1 maybe 2 renlistment bonuses in his whole 20 year career, and the amount is based on excess/shortages in his rank/MOS. A 10 year E-6 wouldn't be seeing any bonus. His status would be "indefinite".
Re: Death Benefits
Complex topic that will get a whole post on here someday, but the short version is: "Defense Base Act" insurance is mandated by law & contract for ALL government contractors overseas. Death benefit is based on average of trailing 52 weeks of pay. In practice, it works out to $50K+ tax free per year for life. http://www.dol.gov/esa/owcp/dlhwc/ExplainingDBA.htm
