I have no idea what the average salary (pay) was for GI's during WW2, and doubt that anyone can come up with an answer -- but I CAN tell you that when I went into the service in 1943 I was paid $50.00 a month. Remember, however, that that $50 was worth a lot more in those days than it is today. As I passed up the ranks I did get advancements, but I can't remember any amounts. Sorry! vcs

The inflation rate has risen by 4529% since 1939 if you earned £4.97 that equates to £230 today.The rate rose 52% between 1939-1945. so £230=7.55. Doubt they earned that,hope this helps
One GI in Vietnam stated that it was a corrupt pronunciation of the Korean word for "foreigner", and GIs had been called that term during the Korean War...so GIs adopted the usage.
The South Viets used Piasters. GIs used MPC (Military Payment Certificates).
Tricky Dick, as known to the American people; B52 Nixon as known to the GIs in Vietnam.
Known to GIs in Vietnam as jellied gasoline.
GIs in Vietnam didn't worry about it (had no choice), idodine tablets went into the canteens, and the US Army Engineers purified the water taken from creeks and rivers.
