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.
Basic pay for officers at pay grade O-3 varies with years of service. For lieutenants with fewer than two years of experience, the monthly basic pay is $3,660.60 as of January 2010.The maximum rate is $5,955.60, which is the rate as of 14 years of total service; after 14 years, if the lieutenant isn't promoted, he will no longer earn seniority salary increases.or example, a lieutenant serving aboard a submarine with six years of service earns an extra $595 per month, whereas an officer with four years of experience may earn $206 in aviation career incentive pay.
