For starters, military personnel, like most government employees, are paid based on a standard scale that is the same across the country.  Rank is the primary determination of pay-rate, followed by time of service.

Military pay summaries are called Leave and Earnings Statements, or LES for short.  Lenders who do military loans do not always ask for copies of the LES, but they know the government pay scale so an income that is significantly different from the standard will need justification.  Any special pay or allowances would be taken into consideration, since these are typical adjustments that can be verified on the LES.  Payments on military loans are most often set up through allotment, so the payments are deducted directly from the person's paycheck.  This helps ensure timely repayment of the loan, which helps maintain a good credit rating.
