I was reading the past comments about Cutters and one of the responders mentioned .... Seapay.   Is that true??  Thank You

Is what true?

I think he might mean seapay as in Hazard pay that other branches get when they are deployed?

yes you get sea pay on cutters its under 100 starting out builds as your years in sea time..

 

Sea Pay:  All members assigned to cutters, 65 feet or longer, receive sea pay.  Sea pay is 

an incentive pay that varies depending on your pay grade and years of sea service as well 

as the type of cutter you are assigned to. 

 

I am an E-3 on an MEC in Alaska which is considered arduous duty. My seapay is $70 a month. Not much, but its non taxable and a nice incentive.
