Default pay on deployment

I might be going to Iraq later this year, so I was just trying to do the math to see if financially I am losing out against my civilian job.

I figured i I will be paid:

(Single, no dependents)
Base pay (untaxed)
BAH
BAS
Hardship pay
Combat pay (is this the same as hazard pay?)

Will I be getting per diem? I wouldnt think so, but I heard its like 11 bucks a day.

Is there anything I am missing?

thanks

If you are married and deploying more than 30 days you should also get family separation allowance (FSA-II) which is $250.00 per month.

Also being AF, you MIGHT be deployed to a hotel (depending on location). If this is the case, you will make A LOT of per diem. I am guessing though that you will be on base making crap.

I dunno, I am in the GUARD. If they try to put in the barracks I might have to pull out my guard card. HAHA!
