From Navy Cyber Space "1922-1942 U.S. Military Officer Pay Charts."
The Joint Service Pay Readjustment Act of 1922, Public Law 67-235, signed by President Warren G. Harding on June 11, 1922, was the first pay legislation that dealt with compensation for all of the armed services.
It increased rates of pay for officers and enlisted men because of the higher costs of living.
It remained in effect for 20 years.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
