Based in a nuclear threat zone?

Do you get hazard pay for being based in Guam?

Yes. GUM based pilots get a $3,000 per month stipend for "Nuclear Hazard Pay".

Unfortunately stateside strippers on TDY lack such a benefit.

Meh, while I wouldn't assume any sense of rationale behavior from the North Korea, they'll be reduced to cinders in about a day if they do anything like launch a missile at Guam.

Unless we can snag it along the way, the scenario you described doesn't really help out the people on Guam.

Is that in addition to the "Island flip-over hazard pay"?

You gotta love how the Admiral keeps a straight face when he explains they don't anticipate the island flipping over!

You truly must be a politician to be a flag officer. I'd have laughed in Mr. Hanky's face.
