Bladesnbarrels,
If memory serves me correctly,my base pay in '64 was $83 and jump pay was an extra $106 a month. Combat pay was also $106. But I could be wrong.

You are right.
I was talking about E-1 net pay during boot camp.
After boot camp, I went to E-3 on the college program, and then off to hazardous duty pay.
I didn't draw much for the next couple of years, just enough for odds and ends. Saved enough after 4 1/2 years to buy a car and tour the country, and cover 1st year's college tution when I got out.
I do remember the $35 a month though (I had a job at over $100 a month when I went in)
