Lol not even close, it's 35k for someone just entering the service. If you get deployed to a conflict zone you're coming back home with 60-80k, but there's no conflicts right now so without hazard pay you'd still come back with over 50k cash for traveling through Okinawa or fucking Germany with your housing and food payed for. So for the right personality a career in the military is extremely lucrative, but it's not for everybody.

How long to come back with that much?

Typical deployments are 6-9 months. 50-90k within that time frame is life changing money.
