The base salary for an Army private is $21,999.60, according to GoArmy.com, well below the national average salary of $53,490 per year based on the latest data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Tucked in between sections advising service members to apply for no-interest loans and get financial counseling, was a suggestion to apply for food stamps.
