Personnel Monthly Annual TCO
Green Crewman (PL-10) $3,000 $36,000 $72,000
Seasoned Crewman (PL-11) $3,250 $39,000 $78,000
Veteran Crewman (PL-12) $3,500 $42,000 $84,000
Petty Officer (PL-11) $4,000 $48,000 $96,000

  • Cost of living
  • Equipment and Its Depreciation: Smart Vacc Suit, Work related devices,
  • Benefits and Insurance.
  • Officers get a company savings equal to 30% tucked away, earning about 3d% (rates vary per gov’t) a year for navy or 2d% per year (+1 for every multi-million size of patron company). This basically makes them earn a lot more than it appears in their pay slip.
