For the first time since 2010, troops will see a pay raise<\/a> of more than 3.0 percent. And they may not have to wait another decade before the next one arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congress and the White House signed off on a 3.1 percent pay raise<\/a> for troops starting on Jan. 1, a move that will produce a significant bump<\/a> to military paychecks next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For junior enlisted troops, the raise amounts to roughly $815 more a year in pay. For senior enlisted and junior officers, it equals about $1,500 more. An O-4 with 12 years service would see more than $2,800 extra next year under the increase.<\/p>\n\n\n
