The term "professional" is a word that can be defined in many ways by differing points of view. I will be defining it from a military profession or "a profession of arms" point of view. Now we must understand that other professions will have vastly different and varying points of view.

In the profession of arms, it is our duty to do things that other Americans would, or could, not do. We, as Americans, are taught from childhood to respect the lives and freedoms of others. In turn, we want our lives and freedoms respected. This we know as the "Golden Rule". But it is our duty as professional Soldiers to, when necessary, infringe in the highest manner possible on another human being's rights by taking his/her life. The duty to lawfully take another human being's life is reserved only for those who truly understand the burden of that duty. The responsibility this duty brings is the highest, hardest and most challenging responsibility that can be given to anyone. Since the beginning of time, the Soldier has been entrusted with the burden of that duty.

Every leader must understand that it takes a certain type of character to be able to lawfully kill another. They must understand that it is not just about killing, but it is also about sacrifice. As Soldiers, we have a duty to our country to take the lives of our enemies. But the enemies that we are duty-bound to kill also believe that they are just as duty-bound to defend their beliefs with deadly force. The Soldiers selected to carry out the judgment of another man's death must understand that they do this at a risk to their own lives and to the lives of their Brothers around them. It is not until this understanding that they can truly be called Soldiers.

A Soldier is not just a person in uniform - a true Soldier forms specific character traits over the years. These traits in our profession are called "The Army Values". These values are: Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage. It is essential for a Soldier to have these values in order to be entrusted with the responsibility of taking the life of another human being. I'll give you an example using Star Wars. The reason a Jedi must be pure is because of their obligation to the security and welfare of the people they protect from the Dark Side. The Dark Side is the "easy wrong" where leaders conform to the Dark Side when they ignore certain regulations. They ignore these regulations because they think not obeying them is appealing, popular, and will help them gain respect in the eyes of their Soldiers. To help make my point I will use a quote from a SFC on a discussion about professionalism, "I enforce the regulations, without complaining to my subordinates [...] I follow regulations not because I believe in them but because I believe in my job as an NCO, if that makes sense".

The regulations that have been placed on Soldiers have not been placed there to annoy those who think they know what being a Soldier is really about. They have been placed there to measure one's ability to conform to and maintain the values expected of us as Soldiers. If every person in uniform were loyal, would there be a need for EO? If every person in uniform understood his or her obligation to duty, would there be AWOLS or prisoner abuse such as Abu Ghraib? If every person in uniform had respect, would the SHARP Program need to exist? If every person in uniform provided selfless service, would there be need for an Army Team Building? If every person in uniform had integrity, would there be an 8th Troop Leading Procedure? If every person in uniform had honor, would there be punishments for stolen valor? And finally if every person in uniform had personal courage, I wouldn't be writing this.

The term "soldier" refers to the enlisted men and women and officers who are members of the U.S. Army. They defend the country not just by going into combat, but by specializing in repairing vehicles, driving tanks, loading artillery or programming computers. Their salaries depend on their experience and rank, and include perks not ordinarily available to civilian workers.

Averages

As of 2010, a Congressional Budget Office report estimated that the average active duty soldier receives an average $99,000 per year in compensation that includes pay and benefits, with 60 percent of the total being non-cash compensation. As an example, the Army website broke down the annual $29,380 compensation of a military police sergeant into $29,380 for salary, $16,164 for housing, $3,900 for food allowances, $1,800 for special pay, and tax advantages of $2,716. An example of tax savings are the allowances for food and housing, which are typically exempt from both federal and states taxes.

Enlisted

All members of the Armed Forces, including those in the Army, receive salaries from the monthly basic pay table. For enlisted staff, this table is divided into nine pay grades starting from the lowest of E-1 to the highest of E-9, with each grade representing rank. The wages in each pay grade increase with experience. For example, as of 2012, the E-1 grade, or private, earned a maximum $17,892 annually, not including bonuses, allowances or other benefits. At E-4, or corporal, soldiers earned $23,360 annually for less than two years of experience, $27,198 yearly for four years of experience and $28.357 per year at six years of experience. At E-6, or staff sergeant, annual salaries jumped to $27,814 for less than two years, $33,268 for four years, or $34,636 for six years.

Officers

Officer pay is divided into 10 grades, starting from the lowest O-1 and continuing to O-10. For example, as of 2012, the O-1 grade, or second lieutenant, earned $33,941 per year for less than two years of experience, $42,703 annually for four years and $42,703 yearly for six years. The O-3 grade of captain granted yearly wages of $45.256 for less than two years, $60,372 for four years and $63,263 for six years. At O-4, or major, officers made $51,473 annually for less than two years, $64,447 yearly for four years and $68,317 per year for six years.

Bonuses

Bonuses are one-time additions to pay for soldiers who have a specific skill, complete additional training or take on additional responsibilities. In 2012, simply enlisting in the service granted up to $20,000 in bonuses. Those with a bachelor's degree could receive an education bonus of $2,000, while those with a high school diploma and 30 to 59 college semester hours made $1,000. Enlisted soldiers who completed Officer Candidate School and received a commission earned up to $10,000. And, staff who spoke critical Middle-Eastern languages could make $35,000 in bonuses as translators.
