[Kong:Skull Island] Does Hank Marlow get paid by the military for all the years he was on Skull Island?

Probably, yes. If he was posted as dead, or missing presumed dead, and then returned and proved his identity, he would be considered to have remained in the military, and as such should be paid for his time in service.

If they're feeling salty, they might accuse him of desertion. Proving he *didn't* desert could be awkward, but since there seems to be a cover-up in effect they'd probably rather avoid a trial, give him his back pay, and send him home with dire warnings about what will happen if he talks to anybody about Kong.
