I thought we had it bad pay wise today, Oh my God....fifty (50) years ago must have been much simpler and cheaper to live for sure

Hell, even a 2009 Airman Basic makes more in base pay than a 30 year CWO-4 in 1958. I make more in flight pay per month than a Chief in 1958 who had met all of his gates.

Unreal. Hard to think how times have changed. Then again, a gallon of milk cost more than a gallon of gas did back in 1958! Laughing

Ref: The AF Pocket Guide - 1958

Boy Does that bring back memories!!!!!!!!!

When I started my Air Force Career as an airmen last class in 55 the base pay was $68 per month.

And then when I retired in 87 as an O-6 the base was $53 grand and NOW LOOK AT IT!!!!!!
