Current income 50k. Guess im not doing terribly for someone with a highschool education.

yes, and you have baller fucking benefits.

You mean a 40% retirement plan for my 50k at 20years because they break us before we can do 30? Or the subpar health care that we recieve that has extra hoops to jump through compared to the civilian world?

[Barnes93cb]

Correct. Honestly im thinking when my time is up to just pull away from the DoD altogether and just go into the civilian world. Finance still interests me and thats what my bachelors will likely be in.

You could always go into the contracting business, especially the government contractor behemoths, some of them have commercial branches if you want to avoid completely avoid the government as well, and they love vets and pay quite well, while offering a lot of training opportunities on top of your regular GI. Especially if you have secret (or any) clearance when you get out.

That is an option but at the moment im looking to finish my 20 in order to recieve those retirement benefits. Being 38 with a guaranteed retirement sounds pretty good to me.

thats baller as fuck. Be thankful for what you have. you also get GI bill education if you want it when you get out.

My insurance..is shit and i have to pay for half of it. 420 per check...bye. More when you add in co-pays, prescriptions, etc you get for frefiddy.
My retirement....is shit and i have to pay for 2/3rds of it. 222+204 FICA per check...bye. Oh and I have to work my whole life and hope it's there for me and not just put in roughly half my working life to get a guaranteed check for the the rest of it.

Start with my gross pay and after they take out all the deductions, i get about 60% of my gross. I bet your number is WAY higher.

[ChrisoftheNorth]

Holy fuck, this is real life.

I don't understand why this happened?

We spend $700/mo on the cheapest healthcare option for a pretty healthy early 30s couple.

Healthcare is so screwed. I'm very fortunate to not have to pay that much, but at the expense of working for a giant evil corp that self-insures.

TSA wait times up to 90 minutes in Atlanta... The shit storm is coming.

TSA is useless security theatre, and the government is too big for its britches.

Did you see the video? It kinda makes me love the dope.

Not yet but I'll look for it tonight.

Any people on here use those outdoor fake grass potty things for your dogs? The new place has a private back patio off one of the bedrooms with a sliding door, so we're thinking about putting a doggie door in that and having one of the grass patches for them to pee on back there. I'll only do it if there is a hose hookup back there to wash it off with, but wanted to get some feedback/tips if any of you use one?

Looking at this right now because Kai had diarrhea last night and Michelle had to keep getting out of bed to take him outside.

I'm fairly confident that when you leave the military and apply what you know in the private sector you can make quite a bit more.

Smart guys that have military experience beyond holding a rifle actually command a good salary. I believe that part of it is that they are used to the chain of command and know how to give and take orders to get a job done.

I wouldn't disagree with you if I wasn't so specialized. For the few positions that are out there I could make well over 100k. But those are almost impossible to get at the moment. We shall see what the world looks like when its my time to move on. But yes the ability to follow a chain of command, lead subordinates, and finish tasks are all integral to military life. I've trained well over 75 people in the last few years and will teach hundreds more in these next 4 years.

Within the next two months ill have two associates degrees, one in Intelligence Studies and another in Instructor Technology of Military Science. Ill be teaching an accredited college course for four years. And hopefully within the next four years ill have completed my bachelors to round it out.

To say my resume wont be much stronger than it is now is an understatement. But there is much I still need to gain in technical experience.

Lots of transferable skills if you can’t get that super specific technical jerb.

I have a friend that converted his whole backyard into pavers and garden space some years back. He has 2 dogs and left about 10 square feet or so of area for fake grass for them to do their business. He claims it works well, but you do need to make sure you have a hose as you mentioned and proper drainage.

Looking at just grabbing this, so that I don't have to deal with building something and figuring out the drainage.
