Salary may vary, depending on level of experience.
According to a customized salary report by the BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics), the mean annual wage for probation officers in Texas was $35,300 as of May 2008. The median annual salary was $33,460, and the middle half brought home between $28,880 and $40,280 each year. The 10 percent of probation officers in the state who earned the lowest salaries had an income of less than $26,020. The highest-earning 10th made more than $49,380.
Texas doesn't pay as well as other states for this profession although there may be more opportunities for employment in that field.
In Texas most of the probation officer's pay comes from the state, it can start as little as 31,000 / year and maxes around 44000
Depends on where you are located in the country. I'm in a small town in West Texas and have been a probation officer for 5 years now and only earning 34K per year. I work for the County. Federal Probation Officers make much more.

Probation officers work for all levels of the government. They work with people who have committed a crime but don't have to go to prison. Many probation officers work closely with the courts as well.
A much better question would be can you get a waiver from the military if you are on probation. In general, you are not eligible for enlistment if you are currently on probation. You need to discuss this with (a) the recruiter, and (b) your PO.
Of course you should. You have been convicted of a crime and that is what put you on probation in the first place. When you have terms of probation that are required to be followed these are put in place by a court system and a community that showed you leniancy for your crime. If they weren't showing you leniancy you would be in jail or prison and not on probation. Failure to follow the rules set forth for your probation agreement is unfair to the community that showed you this leniancy. Furthermore, if your probation officer finds out that you violated something in the agreement and did not come clean about it, you will be much more likely to be given a harsher penalty when you are given a probation violation. If you do decide to tell the probation officer, you will likely be shown more leniancy with the court if the probation officer decides to violate you. In some cases, the probation officer may choose not to violate you because you were up-front with them about the situation. Instead they may add additional requirements to your probation where you have to show up and prove you werent drinking instead or alternatively make you participate in a chemical dependency program if you haven't been ordered to already. It might be helpful when you break the news to probation that you offer some sort of detailed plan to make sure it doesn't happen again as well as offer to take any additional steps the probation officer might suggest.
