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.
Everyone needs protection from tetanus. The DTaP vaccine (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis) can help prevent tetanus in young children. DTaP shots are recommended for healthy babies at ages 2, 4, and 6 months, and again at 15 through 18 months. A DTaP booster is recommended for children ages 4 through 6 years old. Because immunity to tetanus decreases over time, older children need to get the Tdap vaccine.
