The US military basic trainee, enlisting at pay grade E-1, would be paid $1,531.50 monthly. However, successful completion of basic training is usually accompanied by promotion to E-2, earning $1,716.90 monthly. This promotion requires a (usually pro forma) commander's waiver and reduction of the normal minimum requirement for time-in-grade (6 months in grade E-1) for promotion to E-2 after only 4 months in grade E-1.
Over time, protection from tetanus decreases, so older children need to get a booster shot. It has a full dose of tetanus and lower amounts of diphtheria and pertussis. All people between the ages of 11 and 18 are advised to get the booster, preferably around 11 or 12 years old.
After age 12, a tetanus booster shot usually is recommended every 10 years. Under special circumstances, however, a doctor may give the booster dose sooner. For example, a tetanus booster is usually given if you get a severe cut or puncture wound and it has been more than 5 years since your last tetanus shot.
