[quote=jficquette]Her job was no where as complicated as a Naval Captain running an aircraft carrier. I don’t think they get paid $165k.[/quote]
Probably it is pretty close. A Captain is an O-6. An O-6 with 16 years of service, makes approximately $8K a month in basic pay. Add other allowances, such as housing, add another $2500 per month. Plus, there is additional pay for sea duty, hazardous pay, special pay, etc.
