No, their paycheck does NOT equal $123K. Those numbers include a calculated value for health care and leave time.
Yeah. The Navy always gave us helpful handouts letting us know how valuable all our benefits were. "Hey, you may only pull in $16k before taxes, but your room (loud, uncomfortable with several roommates), medical (not used a lot since you're young & healthy) and food (if you can call it that) come out to about, oh, $195k a year! You are getting a GOOD deal!"
