Mr. FLOOD. But when they go recruiting with me they do not get it. Why?

Mr. GOODE. You did have combat pay for actual hostilities.

TYPICAL RATES OF PAY FOR AIR FORCE PERSONNEL

Mr. FLOOD. I have asked the Army, Navy, and Marines-and General Moore knows about this-to set up a whole set of scales from beginning to end on your basic pay, all this proficiency, incentive, flying, and all this lace curtain. I want a whole chart of that. The other fellows will set it up.

General Moore will tell us what we want set up for you fellows. (The information follows:)

These typical costs of military personnel are for one whose time of service is average
for his rank, married, with three dependents, subsisting with his family, on flying status
as a crew member, overseas, and entitled to draw proficiency pay. The totals are given
for example only; individuals seldom receive thees amounts.

Hazard pay for parachute jumping, demolition workers, low-pressure chamber ob-
servers, acceleration-deceleration test subjects, thermal test subjects and personnel on
noncrew member flying duty receive $1,320 if officer and $660 if airman,

E-1 through E-3 are not receiving proficiency pay, E-4 and E-5 shown as drawing
P-1 pay, E-6 through E-9 shown as drawing P-2 pay.

After the 1st 6 months service airmen receive $50.40 for uniform maintenance allowance.
After 36 months service they receive $72 per year.

Airmen, grade E-1 through E-3 receive $615.60 per year quarters allowance if they have
1 dependent. E-1's through E-3 who have 2 dependents receive $925 20 per year. E-4's
through E-9 receive $925.20 if they have 1 or 2 dependents.

• Airmen's subsistence allowance shown is standard for airmen authorized to subsist
with their families. When he must subsist because of nonavailability of Government
mess, they receive $938.05.

General LIGON. For clarification in proficiency pay, which is different from hazardous duty pay, the pay was added for the airmen at the time of the 1958 pay bill, which has been in application since that time. If our man moves out of the job for which he is paid proficiency pay and goes on recruiting duty, he loses it in the Air Force.

Mr. FLOOD. I know that.

On page 24 of your statement, you refer to something, but you do not give an example. This is General Ligon's statement, page 24, the last paragraph, in which he discusses retention.

Give some examples of what you mean in the record?
General LIGON. Would you like me to mention one?
Mr. FLOOD. Give me one now.

General LIGON. We have talked about two legislative proposals for officers. For the airmen we are working with the DOD for increased numbers of people in the proficiency pay. We are leveled at a 1961
