Oh, and we're not even counting special duty pay of various types, which is also non-taxable. Officers make really good money after a few years!
Pardon the edit, but I got the wrong amount for housing allowance, which was actually around $1,300/month, not $3,000. :-p It may actually have been higher though, considering DC is a very expensive area.
And as a continuation of the main topic: As for hand-waving science, I'm okay with suspending my disbelief with a gigantic heavy construction crane, so long as the science is internally consistent within the universe in question. Oddly, I'm a little bit less okay with things like anthropology and mythology. However, I am Death when it comes to them screwing up with various real-life weapons and weapons systems, that bugs the crap out of me.
Sorry, I'm on muscle relaxers so I'm a bit more spastic than usual, which is bad enough to begin with. :-p
