I'd allow 24 inches per, so people can enjoy breakfast without banging elbows. A popular arrangement is to have seating on one side and both ends, if space allows. The overhang should be minimum 12 inches, 15 is better. Plan to allow 36 - 42 inches between the island and the nearby kitchen countertop. You want people to be able to safely pass (while carrying very hot items).
According to the pay rate matrix http://www.navyreserve.com/images/pic/be... it shows that officers in the Reserves make the same pay as an active duty naval officer. For example, the minimum monthly pay a reserve officer can make is approximately $2700/month.heck these 2 site from the Naval Reserve Personnel Center. The clearly list the reserve pay...but read it carefully...at the top of the chart it states the pay indicated is for 4 Drill Periods; a weekend. For an O-1 (Navy Ensign) it states $336.08 or about $85.00 for 1 drill period.
