Military officers "hired" by NASA as astronauts become civil servants and are paid according to the civil service "GS" scale. Their military career is pretty much put on hold when they transfer to NASA. If I see my neighbor this weekend, I'll ask him about it and post more. He's a USAF colonel who's currently a command astronaut.

The USAF webpage that led to this thread may indicate a change in USAF mission in the near future.
