They feed you, house you, and clothe you; this is why sailors make 25k a year, and spend 25k a year on useless or excessive things.
The true underpayment is that you are on call 24/7 for that price, and under many circumstances, they abuse that ability. While working ~100 hour work weeks. You should make ~100k (with benefits) but really make ~60-70k (with benefits).
If you get housing and food they don’t pay you extra but if you live in town you get extra tax free pay 300-400 for food per month and 2,000 ish for housing, depends on rank, dependents, and location.
